Well here it is! The much anticipated Smilebox of the Princess party! I couldnt get the video portion to work-but when I can you KNOW I will fill you all in!
I love how I was able to capture the moments of her party with this Smilebox.
The party went so perfect! I think they all had a great time. You could hear a pin drop during the craft time! And each girl gave Alexa her gift themself.
Most special to me was to see how accepted Alexa was, and her social interaction with the girls! I tell you these girls parents did an excellent job raising such lovely princesses!
To see Alexa as happy as she was was all I could ask for!
The girls made crowns, necklaces, and decorated jewelry boxes!
We used Alexa’s set and polyshrink, and the center charm for the necklaces, and for the top center of their boxes! It was really cool. Whatever wasnt done got sent home with them.
I’m so thankful for my mom who came to help me set up, and Jason did an amazing job too! He is in charge of the decorations-Im in charge of ordering him round! LOL! If it weren’t for them it never would have gone so smoothly.
He’s use to my stress over these things after all these years and takes it quite well 😀
The best part was when it was all over Alexa came out to me and gave me a huge hug and kiss and said “Thank you mommy for my party. It was so fun. It was the best ever.” Then another squeeze and kiss!
That melted my heart!
All I wanted was for her dream party to go well, and it went better than I could have hoped for!
Thanks for following our journey 😀 I cannot believe my baby is EIGHT!

Wow, what a wonderful party Alexa had. She looked so happy for her day. I am thinking that she will not soon forget this wonderful day she had.
AWESOME. It made me smile and cry. SO glad the party went so GREAT!!. It made me feel so good to see those girls accept Alexa. Kids can be so cruel, and it looks like Alexa sure can pick great friends. Kudos to their parents too, for rasing such caring girls. Hurry up with the video!! I can’t wait to see it.
Looks like they all had fun and they are all so pretty in their dresses. I am so glad that Alexa had a good time. Glad you all home too!
Oh Lauren, we’re crying here. All of the princesses looked so pretty and Alexa’s smile was more than any of us could have hoped for. Thank you Lord for the wonderful parents you’ve given Alexa in Lauren and Jason.
OK Now where was the tissue alert on that video?! That just made me BAWL! Such a beautiful Princess Alexa! I was so touched by the sweetness of those girls….look at them, they all look so sweet. I have a 14 year old sister who is Downs Syndrome and so this really touched my heart. I’m so glad Alexa was able to come home for her party & that she didn’t have to “miss the ball”. She must have a Fairy Godmother watching out for her! My birthday wish for her is continued good health and many blessings in the coming year.
((((HUGS)))

Oh Lauren. You know that I have been a bit of an emotional mess the past few months. Between this most wonderful day of Alexa’s and Laura’s smilebox yesterday, well, there appears to be a puddle of tears around me, but such sweet tears. God is so good and like I told you, I believe He has exceptional plans for your little Miss Alexa. Look at all those little friends, she has already begun doing them. I am so thankful that all of the prayers were answered and the Princess Party happened! Give Miss Alexa a {{{hug}}} from Ohio.
What an awesome party! I’m so glad that Alexa had a great day!
OH Lauren…..what a GREAT smilebox! So glad to hear that the party happened and was a huge success! Alexa looked adorable in her princess dress, and I also thought it was so sweet that little Amber was all dressed up and right in the middle of the action with the big girls!
