Once upon a time...

Ethan and Nyah just turned 4 years old last month and we held a grand celebration! We decided that since Ethan loves toy story and superheroes and Nyah loves anything princess or fairytale that we would make this year's birthday theme,....."Once upon a time!"

Ethan & Nyah opened their 1st gift before the guests arrived. We gave Ethan superhero outfits and Nyah a princess dress. It was perfect for their big party!

All of the cousins came dressed up for the grand celebration. The girls wore their finest gowns and the boys wore superhero gear. My nephew even made a cape out of ducktape which was awesome. (I am bummed that I didn't get a picture of it....)

Our beautiful princess!

Our brave superhero! (he changed his outfit like 4 different times throughout the day,..so cute!)

My sister, Machelle helped me make the cake again this year and it turned out so fabulous! Since we did a "Once upon a time...." theme we decided to make a story book with Ethan & Nyah's favorite stories. It was a lot of fun making it and Ethan was so excited to see Andy's bed on his cake! Nyah loved her little princesses and wanted me to read her story over and over again.

Here is Nyah's side of the cake! We already had the little princess dolls and made their dresses out of cupcakes! So fun!!

Ethan's side was super fun to do! We used more cake to shape the bed and used pretzel type snacks for the posts. He loved it.... Having fun on our their big day! We played "courtyard" games and had a blast. We held horse races, played duck-duck-goose, and had a magic show starring buzz lightyear!

And here are the guests!!! Ethan and Nyah ADORE their family! Having grandparents, aunts & uncles, and their cousins at their party was a big highlight for them. They felt so loved and it was such a special day!
