Mackenna Meets Her Idol

Mackenna got the BEST possible surprise on her 3rd birthday! CINDERELLA came to visit all the way from her castle at Disney on her special day.

Mackenna invited all her friends from Pati's house to her party and a new special friend, Abby too! (Mommy's friend's little girl!). Cinderella had so many special activities for all the girls:

* Face/Arm painting

* Interactive story time (the cutest was when Cinderella talked about her mean stepsisters Anastasia and Drizella, the girls are would yell, "Yuck, Yuck, Yuck!")

* Dress-Up like a Princess

* Walk the red carpet and be deemed a true princess

* Crown making

* Special Cinderella cupcakes

* And of course...gifts and party bags!

The girls all had a wonderful time and I think Cinderella did too. It was truly a magically afternoon and Nate and I were so happy to see maybe one of the first, of many, memories be created on that day for our lil girl!!

Kenna was a little shocked at first that Cinderella was standing in her house....

But warmed right up and was thrilled to have her arm(s) painted :)

SO HAPPY!

It was fun to see how proud Mackenna felt!!!

Story Time with Cinderella

They even got to hold her glass slipper and try it on if they wanted to :)

Mackenna was thrilled!!!

Then it was time to dress up like a princess!

Cutest princess of the day!

Cinderella was getting ready to announce Princess Mackenna and let her take the first walk down the red carpet :)

What a ham! Blowing kisses and all :)

Cinderella brought special carriage cupcakes and sang to Mackenna - you can see the pure joy in Mackenna's face!

Beautiful crown making!

Have to get the token group shot!

Presents were the last event - Mackenna has great friends!

I think it's safe to say it was a HUGE success :) Mackenna still tells people, complete strangers at time, that Cinderella came to her house :)
