After Georgia, Nanny, and Ruthie left on Sunday, we still had one more event left for the weekend.
KARCIE'S BIRTHDAY PARTY!!
We like to cram a lot in on the weekends that we are actually in Apex so that we can spend as much time as possible at the lake during the Summer.
I had my one at home party earlier in the year. Karcie's had to be a "Pay and Show Up" party. We decided on Grandma's Princess. She owns an old house in downtown Apex and turns it in to a Princess' dream for parties.
The birthday girl arrives early to choose a princess dress. They fix her hair, makeup, and nails. Then, Karcie got to welcome her friends as they chose a princess dress and had their hair, makeup and nails done, too. After all of them were dressed they made their way down the red carpet to say their name, age, and their favorite color. So cute!!
Next, they made their way into the dining room for finger foods and cupcakes. They cracked me up while they were eating because hardly any of them were talking. They were all acting so fancy and polite!
Then, they played freeze dance for a while before opening presents. Karcie got lots of cute things! After present time, they played Frog, Frog, Princess. They girls really enjoyed this. We tried a few rounds of telephone, but that didn't go so well with 3-6 year olds. Some got it and some didn't.
All of the girls got a treat bag and a precious princess embroidered/monogrammed shirt made by Georgia!
Karcie had a great time and I think the other girls did, too! This was Karcie's last birthday celebration of the year. I think she was on birthday overload by the time that it was over!
Until next year......
