Calling all Fairies...

As I mentioned in an earlier post, Ella was invited to Riley's 3rd birthday party last week. It was a Fairy/Princess themed party and all the little girls were asked to wear their favorite princess attire. Ella chose her beautiful, puffy fairy dress. It was SUPER cold that day, so thankfully she didn't mind being a layered fairy. We paired her dress with a leotard and leggings and she was all set! Riley's house was decorated SO adorable!! (Seriously, Joy...November 15th, right?!) I was holding my breath about how well Ella would participate with all the girly, princess-y things, but thankfully, she did great! Riley's mom, being Martha Stewert's twin, had the neatest craft all set up for everybody. They each got to decorate their own Repunsal-esque hat with beautiful beads, stickers and glitter paint! This was Ella's favorite part, ofcourse. She was also quite proud of her name writing skills and insisted that she do it herself.

Hard at work..

After the craft, we all gathered for a treasure hunt. All the girls were told this adorable story about lost treasures in the woods, ect. We all pretended that Riley's living room was the "woods" and the girls searched for their necklaces and pirate coins. They all totally got into it and frantically tried to recover the missing treasure ;) Finally, each girl got a turn to try and "Pin the Tiara on the Princess!" I was laughing SO hard watching Ella, blindfolded, wobbling all around trying to make it to the Princess. Amazingly, she stuck that tiara in exactly the correct spot! ha!

After some pretty darn good sparkly, pink cupcakes and a looooot of candy from the pinata, my fairy was a pretty happy camper!
