Our little princess wanted a Belle birthday this year at “the hotel”!  This was her year to have a family birthday, but just having had Rose’s big birthday, I didn’t want Anna Kate to be disappointed, as she is still too little to understand.  So… our family + Emily headed to spend the night at a local hotel (which Anna Kate has been requesting every time we drive by it for over a year now).  We went last spring after her dance class one day to tour it and make sure it is what she was expecting, and she loved it way back when!  I let her invite a few friends to come have cake and swim with her in the indoor heated pool.  We kept it really small and super low key, as it was a little tricky having it at a hotel!  Anna Kate is so creative… she had this in her head, and I had to help her make it happen!  Her Belle dress was her cover-up, of course… this birthday was ALL Anna Kate and her super fun ideas!
