My ladies were dressed and ready at least 30 minutes before the party started—they could not wait for all the guests to arrive
When friends arrived Olivia gave them a princess tiara and then they colored a princess picture:
Then they decorated glittery wands with glittery stickers, frosted tiara shaped cookies, and played Olivia's Princess Bingo (designed just for her by her awesome daddy): 
Our favorite Sadie was in town for the party!
(planned it a little after Livs' actual birthday so she could come too :)
And then the party princess opened her delightful gifts and felt so very happy and spoiled.

Front row: cousin Sadie, London, sweet Livs, Sunny, cousin Isabel and Lily
It was the perfect mix with those 3 older girls, 5 little 4 year olds and Sadie (almost 3 who was very attached to her mommy but looked dazzled and excited to be in on the fun).
Such a cute group of girls! Love them all.
The Smith girl cousins...so far anyway. Heidi will add another darling lady to the mix this summer!
The party was only 90 minutes and a raging success. Of course I pinned at least 25 ideas while planning this party over the past couple months but that's the beauty of Pinterest—gather up lots of great info and then implement a few of the things that will work the best.
I love that I still have a little princess in my home. She is growing too fast and will all too soon be done with this fun girlie phase but I am loving soaking her up for now!

Thank you so much for arranging this while we were in town. Even though she was feeling so shy, it meant so much to Sade to be able to go (and me!). She still talks to me about it
Absolutely loved that wig on Olivia
Such a fun party! Enjoy the princess phase for me...it breaks my heart to think Maddie is past all of that.
It was a darling party with calm, friendly, obedient., helpful girls--such a difference! Olivia was adorable in her braid! And the big cousins were so cute to help Sadie with her Princess Bingo, etc. You did a great job on the party, Carrie--fun crafts, food, theme, and so sweet to wait for Sadie. I loved getting to be there, too!
