The Fisher Family : Madison's 5th Birthday Party

Happy 5th Birthday Madison Grace!! Our Big Girl couldn't decide which she wanted more, a Beauty and the Beast Belle Birthday or a Tea Party Birthday Party, so Mama made the decision to combine it! Our Belle Tea Party fit Madison to a "T". She told me, "Mama, Belle is my favorite princess because she looks exactly like me... brown hair and brown eyes. Plus, she has a yellow gown (also her favorite color)." This girl knows her mind! We had her party on the Saturday before her real birthday, and was lucky to have Grammie in town visiting to help out with the party!

Madison began her party day with opening a gift... a Belle Dress!

Grammie had fun decorating the cake with the adorable Belle figurines that were given to us from a sweet lady at church. Her older daughters loved Beauty and the Beast, and were happy to pass them along for us to enjoy ;)

Our Little Miss was SO excited for her friends to arrive, and wanted to invite mostly preschool girls and her best friend from Bible Study; Lindsay and our best friends Lila & Inara completed the guest list.

Big Sister Table... We couldn't fit all the girls at the big table, so Lindsay and her friend Lila claimed this table for their own.

The decorations were so much fun, and I had fun making her banner and scouring thrift stores to find a cheap gold candelabra for the table. After weeks of searching I was thrilled to find one for $2 a couple days before the party. We did lots of yellow (M's favorite color) and I found cute plastic coffee cups at the party store that the girls decorated and drank lemonade out of.

Beside decorating tea cups, we played "Pin the Petal on the Rose".

The girls took turns in a relay race to balance their books on top of their head, then pretend to drink a cup of tea and run back. We had about 2 kids go before they all got bored with it and decided to run upstairs and play in Madison's room. LOL.

We enjoyed the company of the girls parents, and I made some more adult-themed tea party food. There were a few Dad's too, and they were such good sports!
