How time flies, it seems like just yesterday I was excited that after three boys, I was FINALLY having a girl. Now, here it is, her fourth birthday. She is very much a girly girl and loves to wear dresses and princess things. However, she loves batman, superheroes, power rangers, toy guns, and getting dirty too.
For her birthday outfit, she wanted the batman dress I had been planning to make for her. Add ruffles and ties and any fabric can be fit for the daintiest princess. Here she is sporting the dress, complete with coordinating ruffle bottom pants. The pattern I used for the dress is my favorite one,

I think she thinks she is batman because she is getting ready to run really fast!
I didn't do much in the way of decorations, for several reasons- but the main one is that time is just so limited in my days right now, I put mine into making that outfit and the cake. I went ahead and made a little "bunting" of princess dresses cut out of construction paper and wrote the letters of her name on them:
Then, I wrapped garland around the columns in our main floor, killing two birds with one stone: birthday, and some Christmas.
For the cake, she kept insisting she wanted a pony cake (weird- she never plays with ponies, but ok). Then she'd say princess. So, I found this Cinderella set at Target, with princess and ponies (doubling as a bday gift/cake topper- I thought it was a score). Of course, I was rushing to finish decorating the cake an hour before we were supposed to eat it, but here's how it turned out:
It's a rectangle topped with a 6 inch circle cake, with four mini cupcakes, one in each corner of the rectangle, posing as pedestals for the princesses to stand on. The cake was a total hit with all the kids.
Happy Birthday Princess Hazel!
