We had Karis’s third birthday party yesterday.

We had originally scheduled it for the beginning of the month, but due to weather, measles and swine flu we decided to postpone it till yesterday. This meant that instead of 30 people descending upon our house, we would host a few little girls from Karis’s class. It was such a small group that I decided to turn it in to a Princess Spa Day, and arranged for Karis and her two girl friends to get mani – pedi’s at a local salon.

The girls were very excited by this. Karis sat mesmerized with a zombie-like expression on her face. She chose a dark purple for her nails.

After the adventure at the salon we all trekked back to the house for pizza and cake. Karis wanted a “Princess Beauty” cake. (Sleeping Beauty) I was originally going to make one of those stand up doll cakes in Aurora’s likeness, but I figured I could make one of those any year, and why not make a cool bed while I had the chance. So I made this bed:

And put a sleeping beauty doll with fairies on top of it:

All in all it was a big hit.

After the girls were sufficiently hopped up on sugar they played and ran around as is legally required at third birthday parties.
