Afton's Ballerina Birthday

Afton wanted a ballerina party for her 5th birthday. I can't believe she's already 5! Anyway, these are not in any particular order...

cute little friends wearing tiny crowns we made

we had the barbies out which was great for between activities!

the decorations...we made streamers out of plastic tablecloths. Thank you pinterest!


we had a "real ballerina" come to teach some ballet moves. (video below)
