Princess Birthday Party!

We had the girls' birthday party last weekend. Their birthday is not for few ore weeks, but since it is so close to Christmas (Dec. 21st), we have to have their party a couple of weeks in advance. This year, Lily decided she wanted to have a princess party (she decided this in like July). So, princess, girliness it was!

My brother's sweet girlfriend dressed up like a princess for us and did face painting for the kids! So much fun! Here is Ava getting her face done.



I had to laugh at the beginning of the party because all of the little girls were gathered around the table with the coloring pages and craft things quietly coloring while the boys were running around beating up the balloons!


I made all the girls princess hats from this tutorial and the boy got crowns from this tutorial. I loved seeing all the little girls running around in their hats!




We played pin the crown on the princess. It did not go quite as planned. No one wanted to be bind folded and they didn't really close their eyes...









I made Lily a castle cake. Unfortunately, I did not get any pictures of it. It was kinda nifty, though.

Mmmm...cupcakes...

Mmmm...

And more, mmmm...

Nate and I also made a dragon pinata for the kids to "slay." As crazy and kinda scary as doing this with a bunch of little kids, they all had so much fun! Again, it was funny to see the difference in the way the boys hit it and the way the girls did. The girls gently tapped it and the boys would line up and wait for the perfect place to hit it!

I think the girls had a lot of fun! I can't believe it is almost their birthday! So crazy! They are getting so big! Happy birthday baby girls!
