Our Beautiful Princess

This afternoon Mallory went to her friend, Mikayla's, tea party. We went to Walmart before the party to get a little thank you gift for Mikayla (Mallory chose hair clips for Mikayla's hair now that it is growing back and some decals for her nails).

From the moment we went downstairs it was obvious this was not your normal tea party. Sleeping Beauty was there and brought dresses, shoes, tiaras, and make-up for each of the girls to wear. They played games like hot potato with a slipper, kiss the frog (instead of pin the tail on the donkey), made bracelets, decorated a mirror, had a story read to them, and enjoyed tea together. It was fun to watch the girls having so much fun together. Mallory looked beautiful all dressed up and was excited to be a part of the group. I did not see much beyond this point because Mallory was ready for me to go (I think she wanted to be herself...I guess).

This was a day to celebrate because Mallory's friend, Mikayla, was diagnosed with a brain tumor a year ago. Mikayla is now on the road to recovery and is doing so much better. Through it all she has been an amazing little girl for Mallory and others to be around. Her family has endured a lot this past year and are stronger now than ever. They are truly an inspiration to all. Thank you to Mikayla for a wonderful day. Keep on fighting girl!!
