Games with Cinderella
Hope is so excited dancing with a princess her dress is over her head.
Hope's sweet friend Sailer had a Cinderella Birthday that Hope is still talking about. Like any party Tara has anything to do with it was completely awesome, over the top and lots of fun. I wish I could have taken more pictures but I stayed busy keeping Hope out of trouble.
Since my Mom was unable to be at any of Hope's parties we had another birthday when she got her. Hope picked out a snow white big girl bike, a few things at the disney store & electric guitar for her birthday. We got a yummy milwaukee joe's ice cream cake & had a little party at the house as you can see Hope was in heaven dressed like ariel tonight. Hope rarely wears her clothes now anytime she is home we are dressed up like a princess.
I am a little behind but I will try to be caught up by next week. My Mom stayed with us for a week & so did her puppy Izzy. I think Ryan is ready for a little dog he was loving on Izzy and talked about getting a chiweenie. As you can see Hope loves her if she was not in Hope's arms she would tell us I need to love on something tan. We all loved dressing Izzy up to look to match Hope. This also happened to be our 4 year anniversary, yeah 4 down lots to go.
Hope's prince Dax turned 3 about a month ago so here are some pictures from the party. Anytime she talks about a prince from a disney movie she ask me if Dax is her prince its so cute. Hope loves bounce house birthdays she gets so excited when she get an invitation in the mail and its to a bounce house party.

Hope's 3rd birthday was a princess gymnastics party. When I ask her what she wanted to do for her party she told me where, who & what she wanted so I tried my best to make it special for her. She wanted a princess party at the gym were mommy coaches the girls, she needed a cake with princesses on it & Belle had to come or she would be sad. About a week before the party she asked me if Belle rsvp yet (she knows about that because of bonjour butterfly fancy nancy book) then she ask if we could play duck, duck goose with her. Hope was so sweet after she told me thank you a million times and ask if we could do it all again when she is turns 4. I think that makes it all worth it.
Hope's birthday was on Tuesday the 2ND & Wednesday she brought donuts for her gymnastics friends so Thursday she wanted to have a party again. After she opened the garage door she ran for the picture tree & told me just like my birthday mommy take a picture. Her big birthday party with all her friends was coming up on Saturday so she just wanted a party everyday until then. I can't wait to post all the birthday pictures. She loved her party & that she got to be a part of choosing everything for it. What a big girl she has become.

My sweet princess turned 3 on the 2nd of March. She had preschool that day & was shinning star so we could bring snacks. I let her plan the entire day down to the plates for her school, snacks, lunch every last detail. She was twirling with excitement while I tried to take her picture before school. On the way to school we stopped to pick up chicken biscuits from chick-fil-a for her classes am snack. She had a wonderful day at school & I came about 30 minutes early so her class could read the book she picked out Birthday Monsters by Sandra Boynton, sing her happy birthday then have the monster cookies & milk. After we left school Hope & I went to McDonald's with the daisy doll that was waiting in the car seat when she got out of school. Hope & I went to the Cakery next for a pinkalious cupcakes. For diner we meet Ryan & his parents at the Rainforest Cafe. While we waited for our table by the elephants Hope & I ran down to the candy store for a quick snack. After eating the waitress came out with a group to give Hope a dessert & sing Happy birthday she loved all the attention. We went home with a excited & sleepy 3 year old but after bath she had to open a few princess presents. I think she feel asleep a happy big 3 year old.
Hope's sweet friend Sailer had a "whooo needs boys" fancy valentine party for a few of girls. Sailer's Mommy knows how to throw a party so of course everything was fabulous down to the heart shaped pb&j. As most of you know Hope was so excited to dress up & dance her once upon a dream like the princess. The girls ate first them made cards & played with the only boy allowed, besides the girls super cute little bro's, mr. potato head. Hope then found some of Sailer's dress up outfits & made herself at home in the playroom. She had so much fun that she feel asleep in the car & sleep for 2.5 hours, that is great for Hope.
