.....the eve of the princess party.....

.....planning this birthday party has been so much fun because Elsie completely gets the idea that this is her party and that all of her friends will be arriving in princess and superhero costumes.....to say she is ecstatic about this birthday is an understatement......


......now explaining that tomorrow is not really her birthday and next Wednesday really is.....well, let's just say I am sure she will be elated come November 24th when we get to celebrate with family and visiting friends yet again......

......and because Stefan and I decided that as long as we are in New York City, our girls will get a birthday party every other year, Elsie is especially ecstatic since we haven't had a party since she was one.......too little to remember her polka dot party that she shared with the other two baby girls in the building; both born the day before and the day after, this is her first birthday party that she can remember.....and she is ready to get her groove on just like she did back in 2008......


                                    She also did her first charitable good deed that year when we collected canned goods in lieu of gifts- Nov. 22, 2008

......and this morning came and my girl knew that tomorrow was the big day......she was beaming.....bright and cheery before breakfast.......oh, they learn young the excitement of anticipation.....


......and the eve of the big day means it's time to lick the whisk and bowl......

......that never gets old either......



......and now that the house is quiet, I have princess party bags to stuff and tiaras to shine........

......off to make magic.....
