a snow white birthday party {part 1}

I love to celebrate.
I love to create special events in our home-
to "mark" special moments throughout our year.
this gives our family happy memories to reflect on,
and exciting moments to look forward to ahead.

Mr.M. has often said,
that I "live from celebration to celebration"-
and it's true.

so...onto our next celebration:
our darling three year old,
has been passionate about snow white all year.
it all started when grandma nene bought her a snow white costume-
and you can see it throughout the blog...in dozens of pictures,
because she's basically worn it every.single.day- since she received it.

it's tattered.
frayed.
has holes in it.
and she still prefers it over any other costume
in her costume basket.

even though she'd never seen snow white- the movie,
I just had to go with a snow white theme.
so, for her first "friend" birthday party.
{and my first daughters "friend" party},
we did a theme of red & yellow, along with apples.




we invited our sweet friends to dress up like
fairytale characters.
we had several snow whites, cinderella's, a few fairy's & one ariel.
so....absolutely......darling!
grandma nene updated GGirl's snow white dress
{so she had a "hole free" dress to wear to her party!}




I even broke open my preserved wedding dress-in-a-box.
{I know. gasp! sorry, dad...I know you paid for that after our wedding}
but, yes. yes, I did.
all so I could pull out my wedding tiara-
to wear for my three year olds party.



we ate apples.
we drank apple ginger sparklers.
we celebrated with apple cake pops.





mr.m. coordinated "stick a red bow on snow white ggirls head."
and keeping with our snow white theme...
ggirl helped me make red bow "snow white" headbands for her party favors.





we made princess rings.
out of pipe cleaners,
hot glue & craft jewels.



our family's drove from far away to celebrate with us.
mr.m's family.
my sisters.
our darling cousins b, p & tbaby.





it was a joyful, princess celebration!
and I know, most importantly,
our spunky & sweet three year old girl- felt loved and well-celebrated!
