Party of Princesses

Abby celebrated her 7th birthday in "princess-style" once again. We had her birthday party on Monday, February 18th (President's Day) from 3-5 p.m. She invited 12 little girls from church, school, the neighborhood, and gymnastics who were all giddy with excitement about dressing up in their very best for this special occasion.

 

We started off the party by having everyone make their own colorful princess necklaces...

 

And then each girl was given 10 golden "tokens" which they could use at the "Princess Store" in order to purchase some glamorous jewelry, trinkets and candy.

 

After picking out their prizes, we headed down to the basement where we played a wild game of tag with their light-up wands. One or two girls would be chosen as "IT" and they would turn their wands on and chase the other girls. Once they were tagged, they would turn on their wands and then would join in trying to catch more of the princesses! (This game was a HUGE hit and involved lots and lots of screaming...in a good way!!)

 

We also had a pinata (no pictures of that since Jason was in charge of swinging it from the top of our foyer and I was in charge of keeping the girls from getting clocked in the head!)

 

Then we headed into the kitchen where each of the girls made their own ice cream sundaes for a special treat...

 

Then it was time to open presents...

 

We finished with a fun dance party and jumping on the trampoline before saying good-bye to all of our little party princesses!!

 

Abby was in heaven the entire time and loved having all of her friends gathered together to celebrate her birthday!!

(On a side note:I thought I had lost all of these pictures from our camera, but fortunately Jason was able to find them again. I would have been very sad not to have a record of this special day!
