Princess Party Time!

It really was a great day.

I am so full of feelings about my oldest turning four.

All of the sudden, she really is a little girl.

A precious, smart, sweet, funny, sassy, princess of a little girl.

So of course, we had a princess party...A GRAND PRINCESS PARTY if I do say so myself.

Everyone came decked in their royal best: tulle, gowns, tiaras, wands, boas, fancy shoes...

even pigtails for Ellenie.

The entertainment was provided by Mother Goose, a true Columbus treasure & children's librarian, who led the girls in two parades, played piano for a fashion show, taught them tea party ettiquette, hosted a tea party, and made the rest of us laugh...alot.

Lillianna LOVED all her presents! Can you see how much she loved her new dress from Bibby?

She told me later that night in bed that this moment was her favorite. "Blowing out the candles and everyone was singing and Cinderella and Prince Charming were sitting on the cake."

The Pinata was supposed to be the Grand Finale...

but what could be more exciting that getting a LIVE BUNNY from your wonderful &

crazy Aunt Shannon?!

It was a perfect ending to a very FULL party!

Whew!

You'd think we'd all collapse after all that fun but these two were up for more the rest of the weekend. We were so glad Cousin Christopher came to see us!

The whole weekend was so special!

It was so fun to have almost all the cousins together...we missed you Connor!

Here, they pose in their adorable, family-reunion-style outfits brought by Aunt Kelsey.

(Captain America for the boys, Hello Kitty for the girls)

This was the best shot I got of this beautiful bunch of 7!

We will have so much more to share about our newest family member...

Jumper Princess also known as Princess Jumper.

She really is sweet...

just like her Mommy!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to MY FAVORTIE PRINCESS IN THE WHOLE WORLD!

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!
