Emery's 4th Birthday Party-- Belle style!

For Emery's 4th Birthday party we decided theme it around Belle, from Beauty and the Beast.  We invited 5 of Emery's closest friends and had a small party Sunday (her actual birthday) from 2-4 in the afternoon.  It was low key and the girls had a blast.

Here was her invitation:

And then this was attached to the back:

I had a gold tablecloth that we used, Emery set out our fancy beaded placemats and we stuck some fake roses in a row for the centerpiece....and that was about all we did to decorate the table!

As the party favor I sewed little "book bags" for all the girls, since Belle loves to read.  They aren't perfect but for mostly winging the pattern was really happy with how they came out!

On the table was their craft-- a magic mirror that they could decorate with fancy jewels.  The oval is cardboard covered in metallic wrapping paper, and then I cut all the glitter paper out with my silhouette which made it so easy.  I put their first initial on the back so they wouldn't get mixed up.

Here is a picture of Em's magic mirror once she finished!

We played "pin the petal on the rose" as our game.

Time to open presents... Emery got SO many awesome books and unbelievably no repeats!  Perfect presents for our little book worm!

We served cake, fruit & caramel dip (courtesy of Chick-fil-A), fruit snacks, and cheese and crackers... EASY!

I tried to make the icing look like little roses... success!

Singing to our girl!

And a blurry but documentary shot of all the girls who came! (Alaina, Merrin, Hailey, Em, Nora and Katherine)

Emery and I made a two tiered cake.. lemon and strawberry together YUM!

We let the girls dress up, dance around and then thankfully the weather outside was AMAZING so we played outside the rest of the time.  A really fun day!

Love our sweet girl!

Such a big 4 year old!
