Here she is opening gifts with the family. She is wearing her newest fairy costume, regardless of the fact that I had a nice birthday dress for her to wear that evening. Oh well, if there's anybody that can pull off the fairy look, it's her.
And here she is proud to be five. Face paint compliments of my sister from the party earlier in the day. Don't look too closely for perfection on her cake. This was her second cake for the day, just for family, and I was EXHAUSTED! She was lucky it got frosted and the fairy wands got stuck in the top. Not what I had invisioned, but when it's this hot and I'm this preggo, this is what you get.
On the other hand, this is the invitation to the fairy party that I did for the girls. We bought wings from a fairy website (yes, they have those). Then I wrapped them in cello and tulle and added a stamped fairy image with invite to the front. I was pretty proud of how these turned out.

Our fairy party. I made big tissue paper flowers for each of the chairs and decorated with streamers. Not able to balance on chairs, again leads to some that are not exactly what I would have liked, but this is what we went with.
All in all, it turned out to be a great party. We had a scavenger hunt, made fairy houses, and ate fairy berries and fairy punch. I think Cameron was pleased and is already planning for next years event.
Turned out great! Love the invites! Cameron's lucky to have you as a mom. :) I've been thinking about you lately and sending labor wishes your way! ;)
