friend’s birthday party { naomi’s 5th! }

Saturday, June 29th, 2013

The Wei’s did a fantastic job decorating for Naomi’s birthday. I loved Rapunzel’s hair hanging in the middle of the dining room.

Make-up stations

Rapunzel made a surprise visit!

She face painted all the girls,

took pictures with little princesses,

read a story,

and even sang!

Cake time!

After Rapunzel left, I was hired to do some “real” face painting. 😉

All the girls wanted butterflies

except for Chloe. She wanted to be a flower.

Happy birthday princess Naomi!
