Barbie Party!

Just for fun I thought I would post a few pictures of Emma's party. All these pictures were taken by family. Over Thanksgiving I gathered as many pictures as I could. Since I don't have permission from the parents to post you will find that I am only showing you pictures of my kids. However, Emma did have a lot of friends over to help her celebrate her b-day. Wow, what a special day she had!

Custom made Barbie cake made by my mother. Isn't it just adorable?

My husband tried out the new chalk board and wrote Emma a special b-day message!

I had these Barbie invitations made from an Etsy shop! Visit Lily Girl Paper if you are interested in some fab invites! http://www.etsy.com/shop/lilygirlpaper We loved them!

Lots of drinks, food and deserts, of course!

Since I have no furniture in my back room I was able to set up these tables and chairs for the kids. We did a few crafts and played a few games.

The only picture that was quickly taken of my husband and I. Sadly we didn't get any pictures with our kids. Oh, I hate that when that happens.

My husbands sister! Her, my Mom and my Mother in law were responsible for these pictures. Thanks girls!

We made these cute bracelets!

And had a coloring contest to see who could color the most fashionable Barbie.

We made Barbie earrings and played pinned the earring on Barbie!

The kids enjoyed the hula hoop contest the most. Since the kids were so skilled we had to start making them do tricks after a few minutes. Otherwise we would have been there for days. I was truly surprised by this. I wasn't expecting them to be that skilled!

Ethan won. He had the best moves.

This is a picture of my Dad and niece. We played a game where Barbie had to find her Ken. All the girls and boys had cut out broken hearts and they had to look for the matching heart.

Emma has so much Barbie stuff now. She has been playing for days. Even though she has so many other toys to play with Emma has a very hard time using her imagination and you may have even heard me saying before that she likes helping me rather than playing. Well, after this party she told me, "Mommy, I decided that I'm not going to be a worker anymore. These toys are to much fun not to play with!" That put a smile on my face. I'm glad she is having so much fun!

By the way, has anyone seen the new Barbie commercial? It so made me cry. Barbie makes me believe I can do anything! Too cute!!
