Our little princess turns five this week. I can't believe it! This past weekend we hosted a princess party to celebrate. Russ' brother and sister-in-law had given us a a big box of princess party supplies that they never ended up using for one of their girls. That was very cool of them and worked out perfectly since Kendall wanted a princess party. We were all set!
When the girls arrived, we put out dresses, crowns, earrings, and rings for the girls to put on and had Rebecca help by putting a little bit of make-up on the girls and do their nails to transform them into princesses. We had some lunch together and the girls played a princess trivia game to see how well they knew their princess stories. Then we moved to the backyard for the pull string pinata. After the girls loaded up on the toys and candy that fell out of it, we had cake and Kendall opened presents.

| The princess table. The centerpiece and tablecloth worked together as an electronic trivia game. When turned on, questions were asked and the girls had to touch the princess on the tablecloth that was the correct answer. Pretty cute. |

| I love making the kids birthday cakes. They aren't as pretty as store bought ones but it just feels good to to plan one out according to whatever theme they are having and attempt to make one. They never come out as I envision either but it's still something I want to do and the kids always enjoy helping too. This one had chocolate cake on the bottom and two top layers were strawberry. Since Kendall's favorite princess this month was Ariel, I found a little figurine at the Dollar Tree and used her as the topping. |

| Kendall and Maggie thought the magnifiers were hilarious. Loved listening to their giggles. |

| Not really a fan of being photographed, let alone when I'm 6 months pregnant, but had to get a photo together with the birthday girl! |
