This week after celebrating my teenage daughter's birthday we had another family birthday to celebrate. It was Madison's birthday just two days after Amanda's. Beyond all the St. Patty's stuff and Amanda's birthday and party we had a lot going on this week and particularly this weekend. Because of obligations to church and ball teams and girl scouts we had to miss a lot of fun things like birthday parties, football tournaments, a baptism and piano lessons (the girls didn't mind missing that one so much!). We were almost too busy to even celebrate Mads third birthday! Her birthday was on Saturday, but no one was allowed to tell her that! Since we couldn't cancel her birthday we just had to postpone it a day! Our Sunday was actually a little jammed packed too, but we did find time to have a little family party for her. Sam like her mother, loves planning and carrying out parties, so I put her in charge of this one. I gave her a budget of $20 and told her she could throw Mads a party.Deciding on a theme was a no brainer, it had to be a Princess party. These were the invites that Sam and her able bodied assistant, Amanda made.
While Amanda finished putting together the goody bags for everyone we watched this movie together.
These were some of the other things Sam got for the party. A princess ribbon for her highness to wear.
She got her a princess balloon, a princess table cloth and made her a princess cake.
A close up of the cake. I think Sam with a little help from Amanda did a great job on it!
The cake was a pink cake with pink frosting as per Madison's request.
When it was time for the party everyone but Sam gathered up Madison's gifts and went outside, and then came to the door one at a time for the party. She loved it! She got so excited each time one of us would arrive at the door! When everyone had arrived at the party we got to make crowns.
After making our crowns she got to open up her gifts.
These were some of her fav's!

I think Madison had a great time at her Princess party even though it was a day late and none of her little friends got to come! Such is the life of a fourth child!

I think I'll have Sam plan Grandpa Tom's birthday. He likes chocolate cake and baseball...go from there Sam.
Oh man I got Josh the exact same swim suit for his birthday. Well hopefully they don't wear it at the same time... that would be embarassing.
Happy Birthday Madison!
What's there not to love about any of this??? What a special day you created for your lil princess even though it wasn't your original vision! She's having a lovely time and KUDDOS to Sam for being such a great party planner.
