A makeover party is what Laurel requested and boy, oh boy was it one fun, hopping party....
The invitations were sent and the favor bags were sewn. Making favor bags for all of Laurel's friends is my favorite part of planning a birthday party. I have watched most of her friends grow up from babies and their moms are some of my best friends. I love doing something special for them. And I loved that I was able to use my leftover fabric!
Welcome to Laurel's Salon where you can get the works! You can have your hair styled, nails painted, and makeup applied!
Did you think Laurel and her mom ran this salon by themselves? No way! Laurel's mom had lots of help. Our hairstylist was Brianna, one of Laurel, Savannah and Landon's favorite babysitters. She did a fabulous job of making the girls look beautiful. She also made each little girl a flower barrette. They loved her!
Our manicurist was Miss Annie! We think she is just about the best thing ever!
Our makeup artist was Laurel's Aunt Audra! We were just so stinkin' excited that she was here from Utah! Laurel loves her and wishes her mommy knew how to do girl's hair the way Aunt Audra does.

After everyone was finished with their makeover, we got a group shot before heading upstairs to walk the runway. The girls put on a fashion show for all the moms.
This part was so much fun and it was so fun to be behind the scenes helping the girls get dressed. It was so fun to listen to the things they had to say. And I need to give a SHOUT OUT to my awesome husband for letting me go crazy with these birthday parties. I asked him if he would build me a runway for this fashion show. I wanted the girls to be able to step up on something and walk a runway. You know, do some twirls, some dancing, show their personality. Well, he did not even blink and told me he could do that. Well, Friday night rolled around. Hello, the party was the next day!!! I looked at him and said, "you need to get busy on that runway, don't you?" He very cutely said, "I have it all figured out." All of a sudden I was really nervous that my vision and his vision were not coming together. I must say he put together a runway with not one bit of hammering nails involved. He never ceases to amaze me!
