Hadley greeted her 4th year in style in some of her favorite ballerina friends. Hadley loved being a part of a ballet class this past school year. So, deciding on a ballerina party was a logical theme. This was a really fun party to put together. I had gotten in touch with a dance teacher that goes to our church several weeks before Hadley's birthday asking if she would be willing to come over for about an hour during Hadley's party to teach the girls a dance. She excitedly agreed.
**I was too cheap to actually have her party AT a dance studio because their charges for a party are a lot higher than I wanted to spend on a birthday party, so this turned out to be a MUCH cheaper way to do it!**
Unfortunately, the dance teacher I had recruited had a death in her family the week of the party and ended up being out of town. So, three days before the party I was scrambling to find a dance teacher. Within a few hours of sending out multiple pleas to people I had found one! Whew, disaster averted and party saved!

I enlisted the help of several beauticians (ie, my mom, MIL, sister and SIL) to come help do nails and make-up before the girls devoured some pink-frosted donuts and learned and performed their dance. The party was a hit and I think the girls had a good time.
