Baby Girl Turns 3

For Baby Girl's birthday we had a princess and prince party. We invited a handful of kids and I made prince capes in blue satin for the boys and hot pink princess tutus for the girls.



And sadly this is the best group shot we could manage.

Part of our activities for the day were to make our own princess and prince crowns. I had already cut out foam crowns and the kids were able to color them with markers and attach sticky jewels all over the place.







We all got sparkly wands that were cute for about two seconds before they became swords.



Which resulted in more than a few situations like this one.



After pictures and a few wand fights we settled down to food and cake. We had tuna fish bites and ham and cheese flowers along with red grapes.





While the kids ate really well for the most part, their favorite things were the little forks that held the sanwiches together. I think every single child tried to eat their entire meal with the cocktail skewer rather than their fingers like they were supposed to. I know Baby Girl loved that part (obviously).



When it came time for cake, we had a single layer with candles ready for Baby Girl to blow out and then frilly pink cupcakes with white frosting and fancy rings as decoration. The rings were a huge hit and the frosting, too.



The pink cake, while fun, was store bought strawberry so I didn't really fault them for not wanting to eat it.



Finally, we opened presents. Baby Girl got dress up clothes, a fancy princess box with her name on it, a pretty tea set, and some color wonder paper and markers that are probably going to save the day when we leave for Utah in a few days.













All in all, it was a great day and after clean up and naps, we played dress up and wore our fancy head band and earrings and necklace the rest of the day.
