Nikki's 4th birthday




She is growing up so fast. Where does time go. We spent a little over a month going back and forth on what kind of party she wanted to have. First it was Hannah Montana of course then she went into the Princess Party. After that she decided she would just have a "mixed up" party. That would include a princess birthday cake and Hannah Montana balloons. Well, then we went to Disney and after we came home she changed her mind again. She finally decided on an Enchanted Tea Party. I thought this was a great idea.

We ordered all of the Enchanted Disney party things from the web and sent Nanny for lots of balloons. Brian cleaned and polished the tea set and Mammaw made the birthday cake and some special sugar cubes. Nikki was so excited. She wanted me to put the decorations up a week before the party.

The day before Nanny came up to spend her birthday with us and help set up for the party. Mammaw also came by and gave Nikki a special gift for the party. She had made her the Wedding dress from the movie to wear at her tea party. She was so happy. Nikki went to bed that night and could hardly fall asleep. We set up for the party and Daddy put together her dress up wardrobe. We got in bed shortly before midnight. Nikki was awake and heading down stairs at 4:30 that morning. I heard a "hey mommy. I saw my door." in my ear. What in the world are you doing awake at 4:30am. I finally got her back to sleep about 5am.

Everyone showed up for the party at 11:00. The girls sat and had tea at the tables. They thought they were so grown up. She got tons of great gifts from new dress up clothes and accessories, new books, new babies, new clothes, a art set for the computer and much more.

After the party we set up the water slide out back and all the kids had a great time going down the icy water. Nikki and all her friends had a blast. It was a great birthday.
