Ballet-Themed Birthday Party

I can't believe that my baby, Lily, turned four this month. She's such a fun kid, with a sassy little streak that keeps me on my toes. She wanted to have a birthday party this year, so we opted to keep it small and have just a few of her girlfriends over on a Saturday afternoon.

Since the girls are so into ballet, and all take dance together, we went with a ballet-themed party. These sweeties came in the gear of their choice, whether that was their ballet practice clothes or full-out recital costumes from last year. They looked so adorable.

We played freeze dance, practiced our ballet positions with the help of this ballet card game, worked on some ballet-themed arts and crafts, and of course, indulged in some snacks and cupcakes. I think Lily had a great time. Happy birthday, big girl!
