Princess Party

Lila had her long-awaited Birthday Party today. Since she's a few days shy of 4 years and 1 month, I think I'm totally within my time limit for planning a December Bday party.
It was a Princess theme - of course. She invited 4 little girls from various church/school activities and they had all sorts of girly fun! It was great to watch Lila be the Belle of the Ball, since she is so often just following Emma and her friends. I even loved the touch of bossiness, "OK, guys, everybody! Line up over here behind ME!" They colored Princess puzzles; made foam crowns; ate chicken nuggets, french fries, and fruit; played Pin the Crown on the Princess, and Princess Bingo; sang and enjoyed the Snow White cake (thank you very much - she was lovely!). Lila was an excellent hostess and truly loved her 4th Birthday Party.

"Happy Birthday (almost a month late) to Lila..."

The after-party: gotta love a barbie dressed in buttercream!
