Obviously the theme of this years party for Catelyn was Disney Princesses. She had been talking and asking for this party since literally October. She was so, so excited about it. :) My fantastic sister (which I realized while doing this post, that I didn't get a single picture with. Boo! Sarah...we've got to work on getting more pictures together.) very sweetly offered up her house to have the party at, since we had just moved two weeks before. She went all out! Everything looked so great! Unfortunately, my dad (Papaw) had to work, but my mom (Mamaw) came over for the party. Phil, Jackie (Pops & Jack), Rudy and Lance all drove from Montevallo/Birmingham to be there, and it meant the world to Will and I and to Catelyn to have so many of the people we love there to celebrate with us. The day was filled with playing outside, eating yummy food, playing in the water, riding in cars, eating popsicles and cupcakes, opening presents and getting loved on a lot. It was a great day with lots of wonderful memories!
The Invitation
Our Birthday Princess!
Catelyn picked out the fabric for her dress and was VERY excited to be wearing all of the princesses. It even sparkles! What more could a little girl ask for! :)

The lunch spread! My awesome sister and brother in law did a fantastic job of grilling hotdogs and making some super yummy bacon and roasted pepper pasta salad.
The princess cupcakes. My mom found "Little Mermaid" cupcake wrappers in typical mom fashion for 50 cents (thanks mom!). The picks I ended up making out of stickers. I was pleased with how they turned out and they ended up being cheaper than what I had originally thought. Yay!
Singing "Happy Birthday" to Catelyn
Blowing out her candles!
I think she likes it! She ended up having 4
cupcakes that afternoon. Hey...it was her birthday!
Tripp was getting in on the yummy action too!

Time to go home!
Within about 10 min. Catelyn knocked out in the car completely exhausted, but had a wonderful time.
Thanks again to everyone for such a special and wonderful day!
Happy 4th Birthday sweet girl!!!!
