This weekend our little Princess turned 5! Can you believe it? She's grown up so much, especially in the area of nurturing. She's so willing to take her little sister by her side and show her how to put their toys away, fold their laundry, color and so many other things. I love the way she's so sweet to everyone she meets. With her big brown eyes filled with joy, she'll just walk up to you and give you a big hug! What a blessing she is to us!
So this year she decided she wanted a Disney Princess Tea Party. It was perfect for her, she's so sweet and girly. Our Princess started to plan her party over a month ago. It was the beginning of March and she says, "Mommy, it'll be my birthday soon, we need to start planning now. So here's a list of what I want at my party...". Hmm..wonder where she gets that from? Funny thing is, she can't write yet so her list were just pictures. She had balloons, cake, presents and some stick figures drawn. I asked her, "Who's that honey?" she said, "They're servants Mommy. I want servants at my party." I chuckled and said, "I think you mean servers, love. Not servants." "Oh yeah, I forgot". Needless to say, we didn't have any "servants" but we did have a group of gals so willing to help us that day. Thank you Nana, Star, Chanette, Gena & Cindy!
The festivities started as the Princesses would arrive. They were brought over to the craft area where they made their very own crowns.
When all the guests were there, we headed over to the backyard where the table was set for tea.
After lunch, we headed back inside where our special guest, Snow White (a.k.a.
Cindy) lead the games.
After the games , each princess took a picture with Snow White to put in the frames they made during craft time.
When it was time to blow out the candle, each guest was greeted with a Chocolate Cupcake topped with Sprinkle's Strawberry Frosting and sprinkles.

The adults endulged themselves with Coconut Cupcakes topped with super yummy 7 minute frosting and toasted shredded coconut...yummmm.

During cake time, Snow White read a couple of Disney stories to the girls. Then it was time to open the gifts. After that, free play until their parents came and picked them up. It was such a memorable day!

To be perfectly honest, I don't know who had more fun, me or Our Princess!
