Courtney's Pajama Party

In November, Courtney went to her first sleepover for her friend Kirsten's birthday. Since then she has been saying that she wanted a sleepover party too! I knew with two parties in one weekend that an all-night sleepover probagbly wouldn't happen! BUT, a pajama party could happen! Courtney had a ton of fun with her little friends and I had a great time decorating!

Sleeping bag invitations

My first party in the basement!

Nail polish and make up

Goody bags: lip gloss, bath fizzies, nail polish, toe separators, and emery boards. 

I got a cake pop maker for Christmas and I'm still working at perfecting them! Courtney requested them since I first made them for her over Christmas break.  The next thing I need is a better display...they kept tipping into each other. 

First craft: making name bracelets/necklaces. 

Best friends since birth! 

Our second craft: decorating pillow cases. I embroidered initials on the front and then the gils used puffy paint and foam stickers to decorate the back. 

Courtney made a picture of a castle on her pillow. 

I asked Courtney what her favorite part of the party was. First she said donuts. Then she said "when you read us books"! 

Food: banana and blueberry muffins, fruit, powdered donuts, cheese and pepperoni, cake pops and cupcakes! 

Opening presents! She got a Brave wig, Lala Loopsy remote control boat,  a new piggy bank, gift card to Build-A-Bear, a My Little Pony she can decorate and a fashion designer doll kit. She loved all her fun new things!

Cute girls in cute jammies! 

Courtney turns 5!

Courtney turned 5 last week! She is such a joy to our lives. She is sweet, smart, funny and creative. She has grown into a wonderful and caring big sister. She is a good friend and loves to be creative and imaginative. Her birthday was a preschool day. She got a birthday hat (that she wore all morning), a book from her teacher and lots of love from her high school helpers. After school, we got her dinner from Olive Garden (her request) and then opened presents. Dan took her to see "The Great and Powerful Oz". She loved it and went to bed and woke up asking questions! This little girl had a great day! 

 Jody and Terry will be in Florida for the kids parties, so they came over early to celebrate! 

Courtney's preschool teacher, Mrs. Beck was nice enough to take a bunch of pictures for me! So nice!
