SPA-Fabulous Deaton Style

Karson's birthday was an EXTRA special affair this year. Since her birthday fell on a Saturday (today), we decided to have a BIG to-do. She mentioned something months ago about having her birthday at Spa Fabulous (a local day spa for girls), and I really didn't mind that. BUT, I have a team of talented friends that can pull off something like that but EVEN better. On top of that, I knew we could do everything for a fraction of the cost. I wanted her party to be perfect in every way. She hasn't had a big celebration since she was 5 years old. She has developed friendships at Plano with girls that I have absolutely fallen in love with. I knew this party would truly be FABULOUS!

**You can find some fabulous wreaths on her facebook website: Lollydots.

No party with girlfriends is complete without a chocolate fountain. Can I get an amen ladies?

I think the girls loved this more than the pampering =)!

My talented friend Larie Vernon whipped her up some cupcakes, and I added Bon Bon nail polishes to spa-them-up.

Chocolate can be good for other things too--like FACIALS!

We love BEING GIRLS!!!!

Crackle polish anyone? Shannon is the master ARTeest on nails. She had her nails painted all different colors with crackle so the girls could pick and choose the look they were going for. I wish I had gotten a picture of her nails (they looked like those display nails at salons).

Feather hair extensions are a definite MUST. Karson told me all the popular colors at Plano. She already has TWO in (pink and purple) and added a blue one at the party. I ordered a bunch of different colors off of Amazon and stylist Lisa threaded them in. We also got some spray glitter and hair color to make them all extra sparkly!

My mom became our make-up artist by default. One of my friends who is a Mary Kay representative offered to glam the girls up but had a great uncle pass away and was unable to attend. Luckily, my mom is a Mary Kay consultant and had loads of extra palettes on hand. I thought she did a wonderful job and the girls loved MARVELOUS.

The glamorous bunch!!!

We had a fashion show after all the glitz, but I didn't get any pictures. They girls came down the "catwalk"/stairwell to Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream." Lisa got it all on video.

Blowing out 9 candles--WHAT, I have a 9 year old??? I also forgot to get a picture of the champagne flutes I bought. I made sparkling pink punch and served them in colorful flutes.

Opening up her SPA-tacular gifts. She got all the gifts a glam girl should get--like Justice clothes, Pandora charms, Bath and Body glitter, Barbie dolls, the works. Her adorable teacher Ms. Tinsley took most of the photos for the evening. Karson was so tickled that she came. We sure do love being Plano Panthers and for all the friendships made there the past four years. Happy 9th to my precious daughter. We are thankful and proud of you every single day!!!
