Celebrating Five!

Wow! This is going to be a long post and all of it revolving around Camille's 5th birthday. When Knox turned 5 we took him to Disney World so legitimately we had a pretty high bar to meet. She started her actual birthday with mickey mouse pancakes- thank you Daddy! -and a birthday hat to hold her hair back.

She learned how to pose at a fashion show party she recently attended... she really took to it! She had a fire station field trip on her birthday. Kap took off and we all went- it was a great day!

Then, my mother took her to get her nails done...Then we had to go eat at the exact same place we went for Knox's birthday and where as Knox wanted to be very dicreet about his birthday, Camille told everyone who sat or served us anything!
We had planned a park birthday party, but woke up to rain so rallied the troops (and a hired hand) and pulled of an in house party!!! We played this relay- dress up game that I remembered from one of my birthday parties. Julie, Karen, you were there.
.. some of my beautiful family.
The decor- I am quite proud of the decor. While I pictured these flowers hanging from trees, they translated well indoors.
The cupcakes. The decor, cupcakes, and party hats were my favorites and also all very budget friendly!
The sisters with the favor bags and hats.

I love all the bows, flower hats and balloons- it's cute chaos

beautiful Camilles
We scrambled and called a Hannah Montannah impersonator about 30 min. before the party started. She was great! The girls didn't know she was coming and don't know what to think in these first pictures.

"shock and awe" and sweet cousins

...but then they loosened up!


Do you see the way Camille is looking at her?

It was a great and necessary addition to our "bring it indoors" party.

What can I say- if the boy could run out of our house at this point he probably would. It was a great party. Thank you to everyone for your help and flexibility. I love my complicated, beautiful, outspoken, hilarious and loving five yr. old!!!
