Cora’s Belle Birthday Party

Ever since Cora’s 4th birthday, she has been saying that when she turned 5, she wanted a Belle birthday. She stuck with that idea all year long, so when it was her birthday party, it was Belle themed!

Here are the decorations:

All the guests were told they could dress like princesses and princes if they wanted to for the party:

We started with a craft- decorating mirrors- just like Belle has a mirror in her movie:

Then we had a “special visitor”- Belle! She read the kids a story about the time she babysat Chip, gave Cora a birthday sash, took pictures with all the guests, and helped us play with bubbles like Chip did in the story:

Then it was time for the “tea” party. All the guests got a fake rose or a light-up wand, and they got to drink pink lemonade and eat yummy treats:

Then it was time for Cora’s cupcakes (in the shape of Belle’s dress):

Here was princess Ivy during the party (Zane slept through the first half of it):

Then Cora got to open her presents:

At the end we got to do a piñata!

I think everyone had a great time! The highlight was definitely having a “real princess” come (as I heard a few of the kids tell their moms). Happy Birthday to my little princess, Cora!
