"If you are still in the process of raising children, be aware that the tiny fingerprints that show up on almost every newly cleaned surface, the toys scattered about the house, the piles and piles of laundry to be tackled will disappear all too soon and that you will—to your surprise—miss them profoundly." - Pres. Thomas Monson

Princess McKenna's Party

McKenna's 3rd birthday was a princess theme. I've never thrown a friend's party for such a young age...but then again, this is really only the second real friend party I've ever done. The invitations asked the guests to wear their "princess best". I gave each girl a tiara when they arrived. Four girls were invited which is plenty with a group this age.
Alena, McKenna, Abbie, Kalista, and Chloe
The girls all danced to songs from princess movies while I finished lunch.
They loved the pretty decorations!
If only these pictures had sound! Girls are loud on a whole different level than boys.
My friend heard I was running out of time and volunteered to draw this Cinderella for a "Pin the Tiara on The Princess" game. McKenna cheated. :)
Then it was time for presents. The girls got so excited over each one. McKenna got some really fun things. The hour and a half went by quickly. I gave the girls a goodie bag full of princess stickers, bracelets, snacks, etc. and took them home.
The aftermath.
Oh how quiet my house felt went I returned home. They sure left a wake of disaster. It was a lot of fun and I would do it again. It made McKenna so happy.

Oh, makes me weak just reading this post. Kid parties wear me out, big time. I can only imagine the high-pitched fun that went on.

This party looks awesome!! Whoever drew the Cinderella did a great job. Little girls are the best, especially after two boys! :)
