Elle's Princess Makeup Birthday Party

I love it when my children are old enough to start thinking about their own birthday theme. However, I was surprised when Elle asked for a "Princess Makeup Party." She was so specific and I was wondering how the heck I would pull that off!

Thankfully we found a great location at Cottonwood Marketplace in West Frankfort, Illinois. Cottonwood hosts private painting parties and was the perfect unique experience for a bunch of little girls. They had canvases with faces ready for the girls to "apply makeup" with paint. They had so much fun making their own princesses look pretty!

My mother-in-law dolled up each girl's hair and completed the new 'do with a tiara. Emma Naeger gave each girl a makeover with makeup and jewels. It was so much fun and truly a little girl's dream come true! Elle was beaming and had the best time. I cannot wait to see what she comes up with next year!

Thank you to everyone who made my little princess' day so special!
