Disney Trip - February 2014 - Day 4

Disney day 4 was another Magic Kingdom day and we had big plans for Jocelyn....an appointment with a Fairy Godmother in Training at the Bibbiddi Bobbiddi Boutique!  It was a total surprise for her and she was so excited.  The salon is so cute (of course it is, this is Disney World) and Jocelyn was so patient and did so well while her Fairy Godmother worked her magic and transformed her into a princess.  We bought her a dress from JCPenny before we left and I brought it with me to the park.  She changed into it right before the appointment (at the Rapunzel bathrooms in Fantasyland - that area is so cute - she wanted to dance and dance). 

After the BBB, we had lunch with the Princesses in Cinderella's Castle!  This was Jocelyn's first time here (we usually would go to Akershus for the Princess interaction...but we changed it up this year) and she had so much fun.  The Princesses loved the babies and gave them lots of kisses!

After lunch, John and Melanie went over to Ft. Wilderness and checked us in to our new home for the next few days.  Mom and I stayed with the kiddos at the Magic Kingdom and went on some rides and did some attractions.  The best one that afternoon was Enchanted Tales with Belle!  Jocelyn got picked to be the Beast in the story because she gave the best growl.  It was the cutest thing ever.  I wasn't sure if she'd do it or not, but she was awesome and the star of the show.

Baby Shower and Diaper Cakes

I had the wonderful opportunity to throw a baby shower (really a sprinkle) for a dear friend and really just wanted to share some of the fun decorations I did for the party.  My favorite part was the diaper cake that I thought turned out so cute.  

The baby boy's nursery was a jungle theme - but I wanted to do a hybrid of "little gentleman" with some jungle theme references.  So, that is why you see the jungle animals with mustaches.  I thought it turned out cute and I hope she enjoyed her shower.  

I also did a diaper cake for another friend's baby shower which was "bee" themed - so I'll throw a picture of that in here.

For Liam and Lizzie's first birthday I decided to do a Survivor Themed party.  Since most of the kids that were coming to the party are older (ages 3 and up), we had each select a team - either Tribe Lizzie or Tribe Liam - and they got different colored bandannas.   Then we did some obstacle course and team games - tribe versus tribe.  I think the kids had a lot of fun.  After the games was a free-for-all play in the backyard.  We had hamburgers and hot dogs.  I went for some island themed decorations - not sure if you can tell but I attempted to make a volcano stand for the fruit ka-bobs.  

Here are some shots of the kids playing the games:

Then it was cake time!  Liam loved the cake - he couldn't get enough of the icing!  Lizzie was a little apprehensive about the whole cake thing and didn't quite like it as much as her brother.  They both looked so cute eating their cake!

We love you Liam and Lizzie!  Happy First Birthday! 

Photo booth fun!
