Caileigh's Un-Birthday

Since Aiden's birthday, Caileigh has been planning hers. Once we discovered we were moving, I realized that Caileigh was going to miss out on having a birthday with friends. Because I am also going to miss teaching dance next year, we decided to invite the dancers over for a goodbye/birthday party! There were 12 kids, 3 babies and 8 adults! What a blast we had today.

Waiting for friends to arrive.
As the girls arrived they started in on a craft. Making picture frames and foam butterflies.
They danced!
They enjoyed one another.
Hannah a sweet 10 year old. She has been coming to our house once a week and helping me with the kids. The big kids adore her and she is amazing with the little ones. She has five siblings with one on the way so she is a pro!
Caileigh's current dance teacher, Jessica.
Pretty pink birthday cake!
Cupcake decorating.
Princess clothing.
Gifts.
It was a great day for a very special almost four year old.

  3. What a good idea! And I haven't seen Jessica for a long time so it was good to have a glimpse of her.

    Such fun.

  4. Happy Unbirthday, Caileigh - it looks like you had a great day with everyone. This will be a very special memory for you. Good job, Ashley what a wonderful sendoff for Caileigh and opportunity for you to get together with all the dance folk and children.
