Adrienne asked for a pink & purple princess birthday so we invited four of her princess friends over to help her celebrate turning four. Eli was the only boy in attendance & he decided to be my helper prince. He helped set up the games & got things ready for the girls & even handed out the food. That's my kind of prince charming!
The girls made a princess doorhanger & a princess bracelet out of foam & fun princess stickers. I bought fabric from walmart for the tablecloth, pink & purple of course. Adrienne wants the pink fabric & Eli has called dibs on the purple fabric. I have no idea what they plan to do with it all but hey, it was $5 & not going in a landfill so it's cool with me.
For the first game we went outside to sift for treasure in the pink princess sand. It was so much fun that the girls went back to look for the hidden treasure many times. The treasure was actually golden coins that the girls traded in for candy from prince Eli.
Back inside we played the princess & the pea & determined that all the girls were indeed real princesses. If my printer had not run out of ink I would have printed up certificates stating that fact. Oh well, maybe next time. After that we played wishing well (tossing coins into a bowl) so the princesses could make a wish.
After all the games & crafts it was cake time. Yumm. Eli helped me make the cake & plan the layout of the castle. Adrienne asked for a chocolate cake with pink icing. I decided to add white & purple icing too. So much fun. Speaking of fun, she had lots of fun opening up her gifts. She got 3 different barbies, 2 new ponies, and a fun assortment of princess toys & dolls & more. (She was in heaven & slept with most of the toys on her bed.)
When the party was over she handed out her goodie bags that she put together for the girls. She was so excited to have something to give to all her friends. After the party it was nap time (for everyone!) & then church. Adrienne wanted to wear her new dress to church so she could look like a princess. She got to move up to the big kids hallway (4yr olds thru 1st grade) where Eli also has his class . Eli & Adrienne were looking forward to being near each other during church. Too cute. Anything Eli does Adrienne wants to do also. I'm really surprised we didn't have a princess pirate party....I guess there's always next year.
