Sara's 5! Ballerina birthday party!

Yesterday was our sweet Sara's 5th birthday!  It's so hard to believe, because I still have those moments when I look at her and think, "I'm a mom!!!" Every stage that she has grown through has been so fun.  I'm always wondering and looking forward to what's around the corner!  

Well Sara has been planning her party for a total of 364 days.  Ever since her Frozen PJ themed party last year, she has been thinking up ideas for this years party!  After she told me she wanted another Frozen party, I convinced her to pick something else that she likes and we'd do a party like that.  Anyone who knows Sara knows how girly she is.  She took a ballet class this year and LOVED it!  She loved twirling around in her tutu and ballet slippers.  So when we came up with the ballerina party idea, she was so excited!  

Here's Sara with Callie, her Journey Girl. Both dressed as ballerinas, ready for her party!

Pose, Sara! (wearing her auntie Katie's old ballet slippers!)

Wand decorating. (I only allowed markers and stickers so I didn't have to clean up paint and glitter. #momshortcut )

Ballerina snacks. These didn't turn out near as cute as they looked on Pinterest! #pinterestfail

Pink ballerina treats. I'm sure all the moms were sooo happy that I filled their kids bellies with pizza and pink sugar and then sent them home. Hee hee! #yeahforred40

Sara and one of her best buddies, Ryan. The two shyest kids in last years preschool class! They stuck together and became best friends :)

Opening presents....goof.

After opening presents, one of the girls yells, "group hug!" and everyone piled on Sara. These girls cracked me up!

Vanessa, Emily, Naudia, Aileen, Eva, Sara and Ryan.

Before I even got the cupcake in front of Sara, they had sung 'Happy Birthday' about five times. 

Sweet little sister.  I wasn't paying attention...I think she may have had three cupcakes! oops...

Granny playing "Ballerina says" with the girls.  Like Simon Says, but with balleri......you get it. 

Sweet Granny!

She's good...

My two party helpers! Best helpers in the world! I am so thankful for these two!!!

LOVE seeing her so happy and full of life!

My FAVORITE picture! I couldn't stop laughing at this pic of Aileen and Sara. Sara being a weirdo, and Aileen taking a picture on her Hello Kitty phone. Bahahah!!!

She is SO weird. She gets that from me :)

Sweet sisters! Emmy was such a good sport at the party!

Sulley's done for the day.  He's glad its all over...and so am I! 

Planning for next years party starts tomorrow! ;)
