we had it at a different kids play place this year. and for an extra fee, we had the whole place to ourselves so that was nice! there were some minor glitches here and there... but in the end, it turned out great. addison had a blast. it was a princess/pirate theme party. we had the lovely cinderella come and read a story for the kids and sing some songs and apply some temporary tatoos. and she brought with her a trusty pirate assistant (to cater to our male guests :)). i have to say the characters were a cool touch. they were fun.. and they occupied the kids' attention and gave them a break from all that running around.
our invitations. i found this woman online who makes these. she tea stains them by hand to create an aged look and then she burns the edges for the feel of an old map. clever, huh??!
treasure chest of goodies
crown cookies and chocolate gold coins
tiaras for the girls and pirate hats for the boys...
and then wands for the girls and swords for the boys or whichever way they fancy.
they had a neat slideshow with pictures of addison going on throughout the party.

storytime!
she broke out into song during certain parts of the story. hehe she was really good.
sweaty kids = good times! :)
love this one! poor jimmy was sweating bullets trying to keep up with ellie the whole time.
a certain someone was obsessed with the slide. and kept getting in the way of all the big kids. hehehe
she thinks she's 5 too...
argh matey!
haha, she looks a little awkward here. everyone was singing happy birthday to her in this picture. she wasn't used to all the attention and eyes on her. :)
my 5 year old baby! happy birthday, addison!!
