Ashlyn's Birthday Party!

Ashlyn had her birthday party on Saturday and it was a blast! It turned out to be the perfect party for an 8 year old and her friends. This was the first year we had a small girlie party.....it was fun and stress-free! I am loving that!
The party was at a salon not too far from our house. The girls were able to pick their own hair styles and glitter eye shadow. Then they had mini-manicures and mini-pedicures to top it off. At the end, the girls modeled their new looks while I took lots of pictures. I think everyone had a good time.......especially the birthday girl!
The ironic part of the whole day was that is was Midway's Prom......I guess in only 8 or 9 years these girls will be going through these same rituals....not just for the fun of it.....but to look their best for their prom dates! Ugh....too hard for a mommy to think about right now!
Also, thanks to my super sweet friend, Elizabeth, I have some new features on my blog! (finally, ha!) She also let me me borrow her wonderful camera for the party since mine broke a few days ago. She posted these pictures for me!!! Thanks so much Elizabeth!!

What a fun party! I love your hair Amy! You don't look old enough to have an 8 year old.
