Sunday was Sophia's fourth birthday. We had her Birthday Party on Saturday. Nothing too extravagant. Just your normal backyard Princess Party. I must say I am glad it's only once a year. I waited a very long time for my daughter. And we are very tight. She's the image of me as a child...with blonde hair.
She knows she is the Princess, as I did. She refers to herself as the Princess.
So when I asked her what kind of party she wanted, she told me, " A Princess Party, Momma!"
So I did all the research. I found a couple of castle cakes and tried them out. I searched high and low and found dress up heels and tiaras for all the girls and pirate swords for the boys. Her favorite color is purple, so I went to Rochester to find the perfect Princess dress. Just so she didnt have to wear any of the dozen other Princess dresses she already has. We set up her Princess Ariel Under the Sea Castle.
So when the big day arrived we were all ready. Her guests were all arriving, and I was trying to get her in her dress. It was a dress up Princess Party after all! She was crying hysterically, of course! But she did calm down after a half hour or so. We had so much fun. Since the kids are small we had to figure a game they could play so we played Duck, Duck, Goose....but called it Princess, Princess, Stepsister.
The girls all wore dresses while their brothers AKA Pirates either kidnapped or protected them. They loaded up on sweets and chips and dip. There were alot of giggles and screeches from Ariels castle. And some Pricesses took to hanging out under the trampoline.
Now I have to admit, It was very hot and humid as I made her castle cake. It ended up a wee bit lopsided the next morning. But the kids thought it was awesome and everybody had a nice time. Its a lot of work these birthday parties, but Im glad I got one kid with a Summer Birthday!
