Alright family and friends -- Simone is turning EIGHT, and she had one epic party to celebrate her birthday yesterday. But because nothing is ever ordinary or simple for Simone, we combined not two, but three themes for this year's celebration. Simone really really wanted an American Girl slumber party, but mommy and daddy thought that she was still a little young for sleepovers. So instead, we found a Pajama Jam party at the Sweet and Sassy Salon and Spa. And voila -- Simone's American Girl Pajama Jam & Spa Party.
Sweet and Sassy did a wonderful job accommodating our combination theme and Simone has already requested that her party be there again next year, but next time she requested a 4 HOUR party --lol! None of them wanted to leave.
 |
| Waiting for all the guests to arrive--in their pajamas, of course-- with much anticipation. |
 |
| The stage was set for some SERIOUS makeover magic! |
 |
| All the friends PRE-makeover. |
And then it begun, an evening of facials, hair, makeup, snacks, dancing, karaoke and all of the things that make sleepovers magical.
 |
| Just loved how special they made Simone feel at this party. |
 |
| My favorite shot! |
 |
| We don't want her to get too used to this pampering. |
 |
| Wrap around french braid WITH GLITTER SPRAY!!! Simone was on cloud nine. |
And then make up and nail polish!!
The party room, decked out for our American Girls.
Each place had a setting for a girl and her doll, complete with mini party hats.
 |
| ALL GLAMMED UP!! |
 |
| The cake -- yum. |
Simone's favorite part was the karaoke and dancing segment. What eight year old doesn't go crazy for disco balls, silver beaded curtains, a stage and her best friends?
 |
| Simone took a long time to make her wish (we all wonder what it was!) and then blew out her candles like a pro. Mommy and daddy hope that wish and ALL her wishes come true!!!! |
The evening flew by, but all of the girls left sparkly and happy. Most importantly, Simone had an incredible evening of fun to celebrate her birthday with her friends. And we got to watch our baby smile the whole time!
