We started the day by singing to Coco as she woke up. Then we brought her down stairs and she got to open all her presents from Mommy and Daddy and Nana and BopBop. She was definitely overwhelmed by all the presents. Soon Grandma came with "Uncle" Paul, and she and Caylee opened more presents. We all hung out and I made Coco a special birthday breakfast. Meanwhile she wanted to sit in her high chair and eat Cocoa Crispies. Since its her birthday I let it slide. After a while GakGak and Mimi came over. Courtney was so excited to have so many people over all for her. She played with her new toys all morning long.
Daddy invited everyone to go down the street to Chili's for lunch so I could get the girls down for naps, get ready and clean up the house.
Our friend's the Mier family offered to host the party, because we had too many people and not enough room. So we headed over and dressed Courtney and Caylee in their princess dresses. They were so cute! I worked on setting things up and guests started arriving. Courtney just loved all the attention. Caylee was a little more shy about all the chaos.
Daddy hired a "Princess Belle" to come to the party. She was so great. She did the whole party, magic show, face painting, balloon animals, dancing, singing, pictures. So when she walked in Courtney and her friend Haley screamed in excitement! Courtney kept looking at her and saying, "Belle!". She couldn't believe she was actually there. At one point during the party, my friend told me she overheard her say to Belle, "I'm so glad your here!".
It was so much fun to watch the girls with her. They all had a blast. Courtne was nervous about getting her face painted, so she got tatoos like Daddy. Then all the kids wanted tatoos. Auntie Laura made Courtney a pretty Princess cake. Leaing up to the party if you asked Courntey what she wanted for her birthday, she'd say, "Cake". Then she gave Laura more details; Chocolate and pink. That's what Laura made for her, a pink chocolate cake.
We had a great turnout of family and friends, about 50 people filled the house. It was so fun for the girls to have everyone they love around them. Everyone stayed late after the party and the "after party" began.
We ended the weekend with Daddy leading worship at church. A fun fun day for the girls and definite memories were made.
