Sydney's 4th Birthday Party

This year Sydney wanted a princess party.  She wanted princesses to come to her party.  For that to happen we decided we need to have it at our house.  It's was good because we have an awesome swing set.   But bad because the stress and work of having a party at our house.  I was lucky and had lots of vacation time so I took the week off before her party.

Sydney's favorite princess is Anna from Frozen.  It wasn't too much for for 2 princesses so we had Elsa too.  Sydney was so excited for her party!  She has been waiting since Austin's party.  They both love their birthdays so much.  I enjoy planning their parties for them.

The weather was iffy all week.  I was nervous and really had no idea what was going to happen if it rained.  We don't have a big enough house for 14 kids and parents inside.  I tried to stay postivie and busy so I didn't have to worry about it.  Luckily the weather basically worked out.  It rained a lot Friday night.  Which meant the grass didn't have much time to dry on Saturday morning.  Brian took fans outside to dry the grass.  Then he was on his knees with towels drying.  It worked out great.  Saturday mornings weather was perfect.  It was humid but no rain and wasn't too bad since it was in the morning.

Sydney was so happy to see her friends and had a great party.  She waited out front for all of her friends to arrive.  Then we went out back and kids played on the playground until the princesses arrived.  I met the princesses and had the kids ready when the arrived.  Sydney loved it.  Anna and Elsa read the kids a book first.  Then they sang songs and danced.  Then they got their nails painted.  I brought down some tattoos for the boys too.  Austin was involved a lot in the party.  Sydney's boy friends played mostly on the playground.

After the princesses left, we ate pizza and had cupcakes.  After cupcakes, it was time for the pinata.  The kids didn't break it but Brian broke it up.  The kids loved getting all the candy.  Sydney gave her friends bubbles as a party favor.  She had a great party.

After her party, we went up to Cleveland for picture with the Cavs trophy.  We got a good picture.  We even stopped at the team shop to buy some things.  We ended our day by driving to Cinicinatti for a Brian work trip.
