We rescheduled Emmeline's birthday party for Tuesday evening. It turned out to be a lot of fun. After Emmeline and Mabel woke up from their naps, we spent the rest of the afternoon getting ready. Emmeline got to wear her new pink princess dress and she let me curl her hair. I have never curled her hair before and she did a really good job of holding still and letting me do it all. Her friends started arriving around 5:30ish-- all dressed as little princesses of course. When they all got to the house, we had a "banquet" of Emmeline's favorite foods: cheesy shells, pancakes and berries. Then the girls got to dance around while Brett and I cleared the table and set up for the princess crafts. Each child got a "princess kit" with a foam crown, wands and assorted accessories. The kids got to put jewels and stickers on their stuff. That was really fun. Luckily a couple of the moms stayed and helped me help the kids with their projects. Afterwards, we just danced around and played until 7:00 at which time we sang Happy Birthday, cut up the castle cake and let Em open her birthday presents. I know that Emmeline had a really fun evening and enjoyed her party. I love her very much and am so happy that she is my little princess.
(P.S.: I had a lot of fun making her cake this year. I'm glad she chose a castle and I'll be anxious to find out what she wants me to make next!!)
