Phew. September has exhausted me. But Layla had a lovely month, so I'm happy for her.
The pictures below are from Layla's princess party, which she seriously counted down to every day for the last 4 months. She had a great time, as did the 15 other girls that were there. What.was.I.thinking. I only invited the church girls, too!!! Haha! Phew. So delighted with silence today...

| Cora got to the cake early that morning... |
 |
| Getting an Elsa braid put in her hair before the party started. |
 |
| Little girls decorating crowns. :) |
After crown decorating we had a dance contest (freeze dance) to some Frozen songs, of course.
 |
| Finn was NOT going to be left out, that's for sure... |
 |
| Hazel, seen here in white, might be the cutest kid ever...next to a few of mine. :) |
 |
| Abby came and did face painting for the kids who "got out" in the dance, any then anyone who wanted it later. So fun! |
Then it was cake time!!
 |
| She was enjoying having people sing to her, here... |
 |
| A few cupcakes with gold sprinkles, thrown in for good measure... |
After the cake, presents!
Then it was outside, to the bouncy castle and some backyard fun!
 |
| Anja, Elena, and Abby were super helpful to me at the party! |
 |
| No one loved the bouncy castle more than Naomi! |
 |
| Hazel and Ada, being all cute and dancing together like sisters. |
 |
The dancing ribbon from Abby and Elena was a big hit. After the party we spent another 3 hours in the backyard, as a family, doing ribbon dances. Jonas is good. ;) Maybe we should grab some tambourines and hit up a charismatic church, huh??? |
 |
| Notice Layla's costume change?? She couldn't JUST be Elsa if she also had an Ana dress!! :) |
