Prince Ethan, and Princess Chloe

The day after Chloe’s party, Ethan decorated his own crown (no longer a tiaras) and helped Chloe put on her princess dress over her clothes. They are such good little buddies.

Happy Birthday Princess Chloe!!!

What is the best way to celebrate a princess? By having a princess party.
 

The princess party was actually James’ idea, believe it or not. I told James I wanted to go to Disneyland, and let Chloe have lunch with the princesses. James isn’t the biggest fan of Disneyland, or spending money, so he said, “Why don’t you just invite some of your high school friends to dress up and have lunch with her?” From that comment the princess party evolved.

Yes, I know she was a little young, but some of the girls I wanted to ask were seniors and will be gone next year, and I really can’t just sit on this idea that long, it’s too awesome.

Every high school girl I asked was so willing, and so excited. Really “who wouldn’t want to dress up in their prom dress, and pretend to be a princess?”

 

The prep for this party was a little crazy, but the actual party was so easy because I had so much help. I want 6 teenage girls to help me with every party.

 

First the princesses did the little princess’s nails.

 

Then while their nails were drying princess Heidi read princess stories.

 

 

 

Then a good game of pin the tiara on the princess, (this ended up so cute, I just wish I would have done the body darker).

 

Then they decorated princess crowns.

 

Time to open presents (spoiled little girl).

 

Cake and ice cream. Notice Chloe’s dress matched her cake.

 

 

Then they danced the morning away with their marshmallow dipped in chocolate wands, till their rides came.

Thank you Kellie, Jenera, Heidi, Brooki, Brooke, and Erin for all your help.  They are all so beautiful inside and out. What great role models for these little girls. 

 

This was my favorite party I’ve ever done. Thanks again to the princesses for all their help. Chloe and her friends made some wonderful memories that day.

Derby Time!

And the Winner is….. Bryant!

Ethan was so cute. He would yell, "Ready, set, GO!" before every race.

Last year was miserable watching Bryant’s car lose every race, so this year when he brought home the car I told James that they needed to research and start working on it right away. I didn’t care if he took first overall, I just wanted him to at least when a couple races. Well all that effort paid off, he took first in EVERY race he was in, and not just barely, he won by a lot. Bryant was so happy, and such a great winner. He complimented the other racers, he celebrated when they did well, he didn’t rub it in that he was winning, and winning by so much. I was so proud of him.
