princess birthday party

i can't believe lianne is 4 already!  she wanted a princess birthday party and i was in charge of the dessert table and decorations.  i was inspired by all the blogs i follow and below is what i did.

crowns & tiaras for the princes and princesses.  goody bags to take yummie candy home.

homemade frog gummy candy skewers

isn't this adorable?  thanhha made the cupcakes and aaron frosted them.  i made the cupcake toppers.

these are adorable too! :)  jars were borrowed from huong.

i think this looks way better than the store bought ones.  i found a template online, printed them, and strung them with ribbon.

i meant to take a close-up of the banner because it had crowns on them - very cute.  i bought the banner at target. 

the pom poms were homemade.  i made ten of them and hung them in the front and backyard.  instructions on how to make them are here.

cotton candy!  who does not love cotton candy?  and no, we did not make these.  i found them here. 

throne chair for the birthday princess.  i know, the words were a little crooked, but oh well.  :) 

what a beautiful birthday girl!

mom & lauren (she is such a ham too!  when i was taking her pictures earlier, she was posing, and then sat down, fanned out her dress, and tilted her head).  sooo cute!
