Party Of The Century!

Today we had a "happy adoption day" party for the girls and it was SO fun. We hired a "professional princess" from a party planning company, had dress up clothes for the kids to wear, and had a bounce house (and a couple patio heaters, which were my favorite things!). It was the party of the century, if I do say so myself. Oh, and before I say anything else I need to say that every since I chose the date for the party, I've been praying and praying that it wouldn't rain. Well, it didn't start raining until about a half hour after the party ended:) Praise God!

Anyway, back to the party hoopla:) Of course, the kids all loved the bounce house.


Then, when the princess walked into the back yard, the little girls came from all over the place and were drawn to her instantly. It was really funny to watch. They LOVED sitting and listening to her stories and playing her little games. We adults had fun watching the kids interact with her.






After she told a story with puppets and played a few games with the kids, Cinderella did some face painting. Abby got a crown and Haley got a little dog. In the car on the way home, Haley said "but, mom, I'm really sad because I wanted a brown, brown horse and the princess said just a dog. Maybe she can't draw a horse. I can draw a horse, though." Oh, and Abby got a little hand mirror and walked around looking at herself (I saw her run into things a couple times)!






We are both so proud of how well the girls handled all the excitement (and sugar). They are so fun and special and we love them to pieces!

  5. Let's remember what we learned at this party: hire Katie as the princess--not a stranger!
