Victoria's birthday party

So, my little sister Victoria recently turned 13, and we had a heck of a time at her masquerade party. My family has a tradition of having very large 13th parties. I mean, it's sorta a milestone, ya know?
A whole lot of work went into pulling this off....
We started the night before, sewing hundreds of little triangles into streamer things. (You'll see in the pictures.)
We also made cake pops and oreo truffles (Which were a HIT!)

Here's a picture of the birthday girl:

Part of the success was everyones participation! Doesn't everyone look so gorgeous?!? <3


Katie and I spent like 30 minutes hanging these streamers...I think it was worth it though :)
That ring in the middle? Spray-painted hula-hoop :)
 
One of my favorite parts was the dance we all made up...Each pair of girls made up a dance for 8 counts of Taylor Swift's Love Story, and then taught it to everyone. bit by bit we all learned the dance....I think it turned out really cute :)

Pretty girls :)
 
 
 
We made almost all the decorations. As a matter of fact, a lot was inspired from pinterest. You can find the party's page here! :)

Sooo...yup. Awesome party. Totally exhausting. Couldn't have pulled it off without my bestie Katie,  my Aunt Becca, and the whole family pitching in :)

P.S.....You can expect a post soon on a new project I've been working on!! ;)
