Another great birthday party on the cheap

Well,

It's the day after my beautiful princess's 4th birthday party. We had a nice low key celebration at our home. I scored Barbie decorations, napkins, plates, cups, etc for $0.48 a package! Our gift to her was homemade, a huge barbie doll house (remade from my original one I had as a little girl) and we bought a small gift for her from her big brother.

A simple buffet, and a home made Barbie cake (dress was the cake, baked in a stainless steel bowl for what seemed like forever!) We used an old Barbie that I deconstructed and decorated to be a Princess Barbie. My baby girl and I side by side in the kitchen, her on a chair, rocking out to the radio and icing her dream cake, it was a priceless few moments. Parting favors were books, all chosen with each receiving child in mind.

The house was full of best friends and family. The total cost of the party comes in at around $150 or less.

It was a great day.
