What Does Every Girl Want......

....for her SIXTH birthday? To go to the SPA of course!! Kelsey started planning her sixth birthday party the day after she had her fifth birthday party. Of course, it has changed many times. I always wanted to do a party at home for her and Carter and until now, I could never talk any of them into it. So far, they have usually preferred to have them out at various locations such as the gymnastics academy, a bounce house, and they even shared a party one year when Carter was so sick we had to cancel his.

Finally, I got my wish!! Kelsey came up with the idea of having a Spa birthday party. Since I had never thought abuot this idea before, I had much Googling to do on this topic. How in the world was I going to pull this off? And for 5 and 6 year old girls no doubt.

After many torturous evenings, Kelsey finally had her final VIP list. No more than 10girls made the cut - including her. No Boys Allowed!

I stressed and stressed and stressed about this party. Thanks goodness for such fabulous gals that helped me out and volunteered their time on a Sunday afternoon to become employees of Kelsey's Spa. Without them, many girls would have been waiting around (or getting bored and into things) while waiting turns to have all their treatments. Yes, ALL their treatments. Facials, makeup, mani's pedi's and even some dancing when all was done! It ended up being the most relaxing party I have ever put together. I just wish I had time to get my toes painted too.

What ever happened to clowns, ponies and face painting for birthday parties? Who knows, but if I were 5 and some one gave me a choice of nails or clowns, I know which one I would pick!









Happy Birthday Sweet Kelsey!!
