Pink Princess Tea Party

This was the party inspiration LOVE this!

The day started like any other birthday with good morning streamers and a special just-for-you breakfast. Her breakfast of choice: "Lifesaver" (Life) cereal and fresh strawberries. She opened a few gifts and Skyped with her grandparents.

Then it was down to business. For the past week she had anxiously been anticipating the day she could go and pick up her Cinderella birthday cake she had picked out from the grocery store. It was exactly what she had hoped for. We grabbed a bunch of pink helium balloons and headed home to finish setting up for her party.

these are some of Fin's very favorites

Planning all of the details
This little princess was very involved in planing her party. For dessert she requested lemon cupcakes with pink frosting. She wanted to play 2 games, find the candy (ring pops hidden in "golden dragon eggs", and holly holly hassle step into my castle (the princess version of "red light, green light"). She wanted crowns and wands, candy necklaces and lots and lots of candy. Sugary bliss.

Thank you's
for the princesses: candy necklaces- licorice rope and gummy lifesavers
for the knights: plastic knight figurines and chocolate coins

No girls allowed
Because she has just as many boy friends as she does girls we had to modify the Pink Princess party a little. The boys were definitely territorial when it came to allowing the girls into their "castle". They kept chanting "No Girls Allowed! No Girls allowed!"

The Goings On
While the girls decorated their crowns the boys had a sword fight and obstacle race in the front yard. We played a couple of games as a group and then ate some lunch.

Presents and Cupcakes
After lunch we opened presents and ate more sugar and that was that.

The After Party
Tucker couldn't have been a worse host if he tried. He lost it within the first 5 minutes of the party so he was banished and missed the entire thing. We held an after party so he wouldn't feel left out.

Later that night...
We had one final celebration after her dad got home from work.
It included:

One: super cool bike

One: giant slice of Cinderella cake at 10:06pm

One: long anticipated balloon launch
and we called it a night.
