Grandma's Princess

I thought that I had seen just about everything when it came to little kid birthday parties. I mean, our kids are pretty social and tend to get invited to a billion and one birthday parties every year, so when I saw the invitation to this place, I sort of figured that it would be a typical 5 year old girl birthday party. Let me tell you - it was awesome. Like every little girls' best birthday party ever kind of awesome. And it was not expensive, and they do EVERYTHING for you except the invitation and thank you notes. How awesome is that?! Hmm... definitely has my gears thinking for a certain little princess's birthday in July! The place is called Grandma's Princess in downtown Apex, so it's a little hike for us North Raleigh girls, but it was well worth it!

Watching one of their friends get all fancy

A view of the dressing room - look at all of those dresses!!

And more dresses to choose from - and there were even more not pictured!

Plenty of jewelry to choose from too - all of this was leftover AFTER our group of girls chose their jewels!!

Plenty of hair pieces for everyone

Singing to the birthday girl!
