The Party

So I think this picture of Mikkele pretty much sums up how much fun we had a Mikkele's 8th birthday party. Mikkele invited her 3 closest friends. I went to DI and bought some fancy dresses. Made a lot of alterations. I know I'm quite the domestic goddess. My grandma would be so proud, I even did a lot of hand stitching to make it look as good as I could. Mikkele's dress that she's wearing here was once a spaghetti strap dress. Just don't look too close at the quality of my sewing skills. The girls got all dressed up, then we went to a salon in Spanish Fork called the Primrose Retreat. There the girls got to get their hair, make up, and finger nails done. They also had a huge assortment of dress-up clothes, jewelry, boa's, etc. To top it all off they had a catwalk. So the girls were able to try on different outfits then strut their stuff on the catwalk. At the end they had a tea party with huge cupcakes and cherry 7-up and then we opened presents. The girls all had so much fun. I would recommend the salon to anyone with a little girl, or even for yourself. So cute! And not to brag about my child or anything...but is she not the cutest girl alive??? I'm really gonna be in trouble in another 8 years.

This is a short video of Mikkele on the catwalk. Sorry it's sideways. I keep forgetting not to do my video's with my camera on the side. One day I'll remember to shoot the video in the right direction or figure out how to change the orientation. But until then enjoy and I hope you don't get a kink in your neck.
