A Pinkalicious 5th Birthday Party for Samara!

Happy 5th Birthday to our Pinkalicious Princess

Samara Reagan!

It's Pinkalicious Party Time!

We had a display of pink sugar wafers and Pink Lemonade with our pink napkins, silverware and plates too!

 

The party room all set up and decorated for the special princess!

 

 

Since we don't usually do big birthday parties each year I do make exceptions for the big 5! This year Mara decided she wanted her party at our house and we went with a Pinkalicious theme since she is a big fan of their books and reads it almost every night. I tried to get very creative and think of all things pink. We had pink everything from decorations and balloons to plates, spoons and forks, to even our pink dazzled fairy dust marshmallows. It was a very pink party for a very Pink loving little girl!
As soon as all our party guests arrived we had Magic by Ed perform an amazing show for everyone. The kids loved it so much and then we had pizza and cake and enjoyed a super amazing Pinkalicious Chocolate cake! After our cake we watched Mara open all of her presents from all of her very special friends!

Pre gaming with Gramma, Uncle Andy and Pop Pop opening presents early and getting ready for our friends to arrive!

 Gramma and Uncle Andy were happy to be here to celebrate with their favorite spunky little princess! She sure did love all her presents!





 Samara with her cousins and Connor. Mimi was so happy to be here for Mara's big celebration and even more excited to be spending time with her favorite people!

 Let the fun begin....the guests have arrived and were patiently waiting for the fun to begin and let me tell you the fun was AWESome with Magic by ED!

the kids were mesmerized...

Look at this great shot of Daddy and Dave and their littlest bundles of joy!

 Mara drawing Daddy and after the drawing was complete Magic Ed did an awesome song and dance about Daddy! The kids were cracking up and the parents were too! He was incredible!

Mara getting ready to pet the bunny and get her baloon animal! The magic show was a big success and was an hour filled with happy kids and huge smiles.

 Say Cheese! While we were waiting for our pizza to be put out, the boys went down the basement to have sword fights with their new balloons and the girls gathered together for a great group picture. Somehow Meghan and Peyton didn't make the picture and of course all the boys were too busy to say Cheese.
But really Pinkalicious is more about girls so Mara was excited to get a shot of all her favorite peeps!

 Time for some Pizza, Pizzazz and some yummy delicious chocolate cake! Thank you Mimi and Aunt Jess for helping with handing out all the kids food. There were a ton of kids waiting patiently for their food!

 It's finally Pinkalicious time! Mara waited all day to take a bite of her! She wanted me to give her the entire Pinkalicious girl but I told her we had to save some cake for everyone so we settled on just her head!

 Happy Birthday to you

Happy Birthday to you

 Mara and the kids opening their presents from Aunt Allene and Uncle Ed, they all got stuffed animals but of course Mara wanted Megs doggie so she offered Meg a trade and thank goodness Meg is too little to know the difference because I'm sure she would have never given up the cute adorable doggie!
