On Sunday, March 7, 2010, I stayed home from church in order to prepare an extra special birthday party for the girls.  The kids went to church with Daddy.  (Don't worry - I watched the service on webstream...twice!)

Here are the kids all dressed up and ready to go!

A whole bunch of little ladies came over for a great big SURPRISE birthday party for Kira and Siri.

Grandma was the one who got the girls over to the house.

I think they were surprised!

The theme was GIGI: God's Little Princess.
Mommy read two books to them to explain who Gigi was.

So many wonderful friends came!

Kimberly and Cecilia Fulmer

Julie and Audrey Wolf

Kim St. Angelo had a table with four of her own daughters plus three "adopted" Hardway girls.

Lisa and Emily Butler

Andee Fay and her girls Gracie and Carley

Mommy served lots of yummy goodies!

Unfortunately, she forgot to take pictures of all her creations.  We had: cut out princess crown cookies, pretzel wands covered in chocolate, chocolate dipped strawberries, sparkle pink princess cupcakes, pink chocolate covered popcorn, almond cake with nutella, and raspberry lemon cakes.

Everyone seemed to enjoy the mother / daughter tea party!

All the girls made a maraca or tambourine for the praise parade.

Kira's one request for her birthday (even though she thought the party would be in April) was to have a Praise Parade just like on Miss Pattycake!  This fulfilled her wish.

Kelly St. Angelo came and did some extra special face painting.
Miss Amy helped her out.

Opening gifts

You would have thought our friends bought out Joann's and Michaels.
We were blessed with tons of craft kits to keep our eager little artists busy for a whole year!  Thank you so much to everyone!

I think they were very happy little princesses to have all their friends together for an extra special birthday tea party!
