A Princess Party

Leah celebrated her 4th birthday with a Princess themed party. She was thrilled to pick out invitations, decorations and crowns for each friend. The day of the party Leah adamantly dressed up in Abi's old leotard so she would look like a Princess. The other princesses didn't keep their crowns on long either but Leah loved her special day with friends: Sage, Emily and Addy.
We drew sidewalk chalk princesses and played lots of princess themed games including a castle bean bag toss, Kiss the Frog, Queen May I,and Frog Frog Princess.
But the biggest hit of he party was this pony pinata. Each girl took a few good whacks at it before the pinata unloaded its trove of goodies.
For her cake, Leah requested "pink cupcakes". I easily obliged with these pink strawberry cupcakes with cream cheese frosting and sprinkles. Yummy!!!
On Sunday, her real birthday, Leah enjoyed a family party with everyone. She received this adorable cupcake outfit from aunt Sarah, piles of tutus from Nana Meek, fairy wings from Walker, a music box from the Howell's and a princess sticker book from Uncle Eric. From mom and dad she got a Princess Accessory pack with dress up her bike and a new swimming pool. I'm sure many days of summer fun are just around the corner.
