Maddie's Princess Party

Well, the birthday week finally ended with a princess party on Saturday. We had some terrible weather on Friday night - terrible tornadoes ripped through Saint Louis. Because of the bad weather, a few people were not able to make it to our house. Here are the photos, though, so everyone can enjoy!

Each year Maddie's birthday cake has been a big part of the party for me. The first year was a beautiful giraffe made by Nana. Year two was the totally overdone garden 2. This year, I decided it would be only 1 cake. It was a Barbie princess cake. In truth, I think Maddie was WAY less impressed than I was excited.

We each got to make our own crowns. Everyone got very into the process. It was so fun to see how everyone's personalities came out in their crowns.










I thought I had everyone beat with my beautiful crown ... and then Grandpa Steve got started on his. It was an incredible camo crown. It was pretty amazing. We all decided that he won the crown competition.


Maddie got so much love from everyone .


And then the gift opening began!





Maddie got some new rooms for her doll house ... that house has more furniture than our real house!


Maddie also got "Tangled." It is SUCH a cute movie!















Maddie then opened a gift that was made just for little princesses like her ...



A 7 Barbie Princess set! Ken now looks like he is on the Barbie Bachelor reality series.






Then it was time for cake. Maddie got a little shy having so many people sing for her. (the first part of this video is Maddie with a balloon I found at Schnuck's. It was like it was made for a princess party!)



Maddie kept sneaking back for another little taste of the cake ... it was yummy and pretty!



We all took a picture with our regal crowns on. This is a classic family photo, I think!
After everyone headed home, Maddie and Zsa Zsa started setting up Maddie's new furniture. I think it was as much fun for Zsa Zsa as it was for Maddie!
That night, Maddie decided Mag needed a crown too. He looked very handsome.
