A Very Fairy Birthday

The Cake

 The Food -- fairies like lots of fruits and veggies and granola to help them refuel :)

 More cake...

crafts -- decorating picture frames and stringing necklaces

all of the kids earned their tutus and wings (and pan shirts) by finding a lost fairy in the garden

life-size fairy house -- a gift for all of the kids' birthdays! Thanks to Scott for working so hard to put it together!

The photo booth for fairy photos!

 The red fairy -- ready for the party to start

 baby pan was ready too

crafting -- the kids didn't really need much direction, they just kind of all did their own thing.  I was glad that it included doing the crafts though!

okay, I might have dragged all the kids to the photo booth for their picture ops... they at least humored me.  

the grown-ups relaxing in the garden

ready to fly!

Swimming in the lagoon -- a great way for fairies and Pans to cool off

the yellow fairy arrived!  Fresh from a nice afternoon nap :)

 inside to eat

fairy costume change :)

And time for cake.  The birthday fairy may have been a little excited about blowing out her candle as she blew it out at the beginning of the song instead of the end :)

Time for presents

The birthday fairy seeing her new doll house

already making plans about what to bake with her new set!

SO in love with this dress.  She literally wore it for the WHOLE rest of the weekend except when she was playing at the beach.

excited at the news that she just got her own new sleeping bag!

time to play

 Thanks to all of our friends and family for making Merrill's fourth birthday one she is sure to remember for a long time!
