9 Princesses at a Tea Party

So I think we have it covered that Kendall is obsessed with Disney Princesses. Presently she is wearing a dress borrowed from Sarah because it is 'long and flowing,' and none of hers do this.

So her third birthday comes around and I think, Princess Party. And what a princess party it was. Kendall has a bunch of girlfriends, well because many of my friends have little girls around her age, and when I think about it, we all mass produce females, poor Ethan, he was the only little prince at the party.

Here is the rundown...

The invitees were to wear their favorite princess attire. I heard that many of them had been deciding on this since the invitation arrived in the mail. Kendall went back and forth between Belle or Cinderella. She does not have a Belle costume and if she wanted to be Belle she needed to go poopy on the potty, Kendall was Cinderella.

The Guests:

Molly-aka Sleeping Beauty

Brynn-aka Tinkerbell

Emily-aka Snow White

Sarah-aka Aurora-because we can't have a princess of the same name

Emma-aka Belle

Meghan-she also dressed as Sleeping Beauty, but wore a different dress

Gabriella & Juliana-they came some time into the party because they went to visit their Mommy in the hospital who had given birth to their Valentine, Annabel Lucia, the day before, and their Daddy brought them...we can't expect him to remember everything.

Aren't my kids so well behaved?


The Menu:

Pigs in a Blanket-just some dogs wrapped in crescent rolls-Andy made these, he is amazing.

Mac & Cheese

Princess Tea-served in Kendall's fancy tea china-Princess Tea is pink lemonade

Princess Crown Cookies

Chocolate Cupcakes

The Decor:

Pink

Tissue Paper Pom Pom's hanging from the ceiling

Hot Pink & Pastel pink streamers

pink and cream table cloths

pink place cards

hot pink & orange argyle ribbon wrapping things together, such as utensils in a napkin



The Activities:

Pin the Crown on the Princess

Princess Crown Craft-Can you say Glitter Glue?

Nail Painting-done by Drizella & Anastasia

Musical Chairs-aka Tear Fest 2009-no one likes to lose, but how else do we expect them to learn winning and losing?



The Special Guests:

The Ugly Step Sisters-Drizella & Anastasia

The Fairy Godmother


Kendall requested about a month ago in the planning stages that Mom Mom be the Fairy Godmother and that A. Meghan and A. Shelly be the Step Sisters (aka-Mommy's helpers)

Homemade parties are always more fun, and I think the girls did just that.

That evening we had the family party and Kendall was birthday partied out by the end of the night. It was to celebrate Erin's Sweet 16 also.

So fun by all, exhaustion to all. I am still tired from the day!

Kendall had her first sleepover in her big girl room with Juliana. They were so cute together!
