Princess Birthday Parties

Yesterday we attended two princess birthday parties!  The first was for our friend Kensley who was turning 5!  She had a "pancake and princess" party.  Her mom went all out and it truly was a party suit for a princess.  As the girls arrived they got dressed up in princess clothes and decorated handheld princess mirrors.

Then it was time to head outside for a big surprise...a REAL horse drawn carriage and inside was Princess Mulan.  Handley's face just lit up with joy when she got to talk to the "real" princess.

Mulan painted their faces, made balloons for them and then it was time to get to ride on the carriage.  What a special treat! The girls even got to pet the horse after our ride, which they all thought was fun.

After our ride they enjoyed a pancake bar complete with every topping imaginable and they got to eat of princess pink china and drink their juice from real china tea cups!

Happy Birthday Kensley and thank you for including us in your special day!

Next we dropped Harper at home with Daddy so Handley and I could head off to another party for her friend Ava Brooke.  Ava Brooke's party was an Ariel party and once again, Handley was so excited to see the "real" Ariel.  She gave all the little girls a princess lesson, painted their faces, gave them special princess rings and taught them to curtsey.  I was cracking up because as she was doing all of these things Handley kept saying, "Hey Ariel, we're going to see you at Disney World." or "Hey Ariel, my sister is at home with my Daddy." She loved talking to Ariel.

 On our way home Handley asked if she could have a real princess come to her birthday party.  I know she'll be just thrilled when we get to go to Disney in a few weeks and get to see all the princesses.
