We had the stomach flu go through our family the week before her birthday so I wasn't really on top of planning a party. Plus she had picked to just go to a movie with three friends. A few days before her birthday she decided she really wanted a party. So we printed off invites and handed them out to her friends in the neighborhood and at dance class.

I decorated with the same decorations that I have used the last two years and for the other girls. She was so cute when she came down on the morning of her birthday. She said, "This looks awesome mom. I really wanted a Trolls party but I love Ariel (the type of decorations up) too. Don't feel bad, I am happy even though I wanted a Trolls party." She cracks me up. I did feel a bit guilty but her party was a blast and she forgot all about having a Trolls party. 

The kids came and we ordered Costco pizza and watched The Secret Life of Pets. After that they opened presents and we dug into the Donut Birthday Cake. My siblings and her cousins all came for the party and food. Except Spencer, he was under the weather with the same flu we had the week before. Grandma and Grandpa McCoy had come earlier in the day since they had plans that night.

Overall we had a full house and lots of fun!
