Aubrin was so excited to have her first friend birthday party. She decided that she wanted a fairy party. She was also very specific of what she thought the party might look like. She said her biggest wish was that all of the girls could get fairy wings when they come. Pretty simple request. This little lady pretty lucky that her mama LOVES planning parties!
Aubrin invited ALL of the little ladies from her class and a few friends from the neighborhood. Who would have thought that 14 out of the 16 invited could come on a Tuesday morning. Aubrin was thrilled. Of course in Miller fashion, it was a rainy day the day of the party. I could not bring myself to have a fairy party inside...it just didn't seem right. So we made it work and still had it outside.
Kaye and my mom came to help Todd and I will the party. My dad came too, but snuck out to play a little golf when it wasn't raining. Of course we need the "Fairy Grandmothers" there:) It would not be a complete party without these special ladies there.
They were such a huge help before, during and after the party. Caryn came to take pictures for me as well. I feel like I always miss so much because I'm always behind the camera capturing the moments instead of being part of them.
A few minutes before the party started the face painter arrived and quickly followed by 14 very excited little girls.
Each of the got their faces painted and then headed out to the tent to each lunch. My dad and Todd walked each girl out with an umbrella to keep them dry. It was adorable with them all sitting with their wings on, faces painted and having girl talk.
After lunch we sang happy birthday. Aubrin is not one to like a lot of attention, so she got overly embarrassed and giggled the whole time when her friends were singing.
The girls then had a choice. They could either head into the garage to paint fairy houses or to the kitchen to make bracelets. The girls took their time painting their houses and made them very colorful. At one point "Let it Go" came on and each little girl was singing so loud. It was such a sweet moment.
Finally the rain stopped and we were able to go outside and take a few pictures.
Aubrin sat with all of her friends and opened her presents. She was so excited to see what each one was.
Then it was time to go. Each little fairy took their wings home, a fairy house and they very special bottle of fairy dust.
Happy birthday sweet girl!
