We started the party by creating personalized hand mirrors. Each girl worked really hard to make their mirror look beautiful. I was horribly frustrated because 30 minutes before the party started I discovered that glitter glue does not stick to plastic and all their names fell off. Andy spent the next 10 minutes supergluing all the letters back on. What a lifesaver!
After the craft, we sent everyone outside for some pinata fun. Big swinger Katie knocked it to pieces on the second try. So, we taped it all back up and let everyone have a try. It's all about the candy anyway, right?
Brooklyn wanted a pink castle for her birthday cake. I had all sorts of grand ideas until I tried to put it together. The towers kept falling off even when secured by skewers! Arg! Thankfully it held together for photos and the Happy Birthday song. All the girls loved it!
Finally! It was time for the all the glitz and glamour! The girls were getting anxious! My poor husband is such a trooper! Here is his blackmail shot for all the world to see!
This is the group of 8 girls(plus one Mr. GQ) post-makeover. Don't they look lovely? I started with one hairdo and they all wanted the same one. So much for my creativity!
The 5 year old birthday girl.
The girls all seemed to enjoy the party. Even those who were a little nervous in the beginning really warmed up. I can't wait to hear Brooklyn's ideas for next year.
Xavier wanted so desperately to join in, but what can you do for a boy at a makeup party? I LOVE the mohawk!
