The Sleeping Beauty Party

Since last summer Lauren has been asking for a Sleeping Beauty party for her 4th birthday party. She was Sleeping Beauty for Halloween, and so she had the perfect dress for her Sleeping Beauty party. We actually had Sleeping Beauty at the party. It was so much fun!

We started the morning out opening presents from Mommy, Daddy and Addison. Lauren was up at 6 and ready to go for her birthday celebration.

Grandma Harding got Lauren this doll and she loves it. It is from Target, Madame Alexander, just like the American Girl dolls but tons cheaper.
Lauren knew that Sleeping Beauty would be at her party after her nap so when she woke up she was expecting to see Sleeping Beauty right away. It was hard to explain to her that it would be almost 2 hours before Sleeping Beauty would arrive.
Her princess cakes. Every week when we go to the store we have to go look at the princess cake on display. I found the same cake at Walmart for almost half the price. Lauren loved it!
Sleeping Beauty told a story about Princess Lauren and then played three games with the kids. When the games were over all the kids got to pick three prizes out of the treasure chest. After that they enjoyed face painting and sparkly hairspray. Lauren loved her face painting.
All the kids at the party, minus 2 of the boys. They were too busy playing somewhere else!
Lauren just could not believe Sleeping Beauty was at her house! Disney World is going to be so much fun in May. I can't wait!
Gramps and Nana B got Lauren the Leap Frog Tag reading system. I think she is really going to like it.
Lauren and her boys. Landen and his Mom drove all the way from Chicago just to be at the party. Lauren loved having him there.
Time to say good bye to Landen. We probably won't see him again until the fall.
Gramps and Addison
Little Addison just hung out with everyone. I think everyone held her at some point in the night. This is her friend Charley. They are in the infant room together at school, she is Killian's baby sister.

I think the Sleeping Beauty was a hit. All the little girls seemed to have a lot of fun. Happy 4th Birthday Lauren.
