Madelyn's 6th Birthday party

I've been terrible at updating this blog lately. I have lots to say sometimes, it's just faster and easier to post to Facebook, but I am going to try to be better at it. I have actually posted since Madelyn's birthday in September, but I'm going to go back and include it since I'm somewhat using this blog as a chronological keepsake.

This year, we decided to do a Salon/Spa party for Madelyn. I have to say it was the least stressful and funnest party we have had so far. We had it at my house and I set up stations in the living room/kitchen area. We had a station for nails, one for makeup, and one for hair. My mom, sister, stepmom, and friend Melissa helped me out by working at the stations. I let Madelyn invite one friend for each year of her age. It was a good number, not too many. My stepmom and Melissa handled nails, Mom and Holly did the makeup, and I did hair. Hair was actually really fun. All the girls wanted me to curl their hair, so I put most of their hair up in a high ponytail and curled it. They looked gorgeous. You could tell they had a good time! When they were made-over, they would prance around the house like they were princesses. And of course, they were. The time went really fast and pretty soon the party was over and parents were coming to get their kids. The girls were so happy to show their parent their new look. In their little goodie bags, they received a hairbrush with a mirror, hair ties and headbands, nail polish, and makeup. It was actually pretty inexpensive and I honestly can't wait to do it for Meredith in a few years. Here are a few pictures from the day.
