Anna had a wonderful 4th birthday. Jess went all out making it a very special day. She planned (and prepared for a week) a princess party for Anna and her friends. It was not your ordinary, parents sit and gab while the kids run around party. This was a hands-on, game stations, party.

As a gathering activity, Jess had the girls color their own princess picture/placemat. Once all the girls were all accounted for, she led them through a series of stations (princess themed) and games.

After the games and stories, the girls were able to decorate their own wands. Jess put the wands together from plain, wooden dowels. They were a big hit.

While on a natural high from all the fun, it was time to inject some sugar into their little veins. The girls decorated tiara shaped sugar cookies with pink icing and candies.

All in all, it was a wonderful day. Saturday evening, Mimi came up and we opened the family gifts. We then sang Happy Birthday and enjoyed Jess' delicious, strawberry, princess cake. She makes the best cakes!

Jessica, you really did a great job. I know who to go to for party ideas! It was so much fun and Kennedy loved being there!
ReplyDeleteMy goodness, what a Princess party. Look like everyone had lots of fun making Princess Wands and other things. Anna looks so beautiful and so delighted with everything. It warmed my heart and put a big smile on my face to see this. Thanks for sharing. Please give our big birthday girl a hug and kiss for us.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to two special parents for making Little Anna feel so special, as she certainly is. Love you all and feel bad about missing the party. Thanks so much for sharing.
