Fairyland!

We had the pleasure of attending a very special birthday party for my niece last weekend on 10-10-10!
 
The Birthday Girl and her mom have been planning this party  for months. They thought of everything possible to enchant their guests including having a fairy outfit for each girl, all in different colors!
These young gentlemen were also invited and costumed as "Fairy Guards".

 The children were seated at a dining room table that had been moved outside and placed under this shady decorated tent.The table was set with much attention to detail to continue the Fairyland theme. As they enjoyed their refreshments, they were all so polite and well behaved! Fairy music played in the background.
Games included "Toadstool Musical Trees" on a hilly knoll that was so much fun for the adults to watch because of the colorful costumes.
 The guests also made a craft of a "fairy door" to bring home to use as a centerpiece for their own fairy gardens. They went around the yard in costume to clip flowers and leaves and to collect other natural items with which to decorate their doors. Mosses and glass stones were provided.
It was a real treat to have all of our girl cousins of this age in attendance. 5 of these girls are cousins from five different families!
This was a spectacular birthday party which will probably never be forgotten by the lucky attendees! Each girl was given the fairy skirt, wings and wand specifically ordered for her, to take home! All the little details, the gorgeous fall weather and the joy of celebrating this special cousin's birthday went together to create a storybook Fairy Tale in real life!
