Grace, Ethan, and I attended the Princess Birthday Party yesterday afternoon and had a lot of fun! Grace was told to come with her dress up clothes if she wanted so she brought her pink tutu and looked absolutely adorable. It was a potluck so we brought a pink jello salad (substituted strawberry for lime and it turned out pretty tasty!) and enjoyed an early dinner. After eating there were games which were amusing to watch since most of the kids were between 3 and 5 years old and don't exactly follow directions so well. They played "pin the princess to the castle", Hot Potato with a "glass slipper", and last but not least the Cinderella Pinata was brought out.
Just the hint of candy to come made the little party guests hum with excitement. The pinata was the kind that has lots of ribbons hanging down and the kids were to take turns pulling one ribbon at a time until one of them pulled the one that opened it. Well everyone had their turn to pull a ribbon and Grace went for the second time and her ribbon was the one that did it. She threw her arms up in the air in victory and yelled "I did it!" and then realized that the candy was now on the ground and started finding all the pink candies to put in her princess bag.
After the mad candy dash we sang Happy Birthday to the Birthday Girl and ate some yummy chocolate cake. One of the moms had made the pink castle cake and it looked really good. After cake the Birthday Girl opened some presents but was rather distracted (as three year olds are apt to be) and took awhile to eventually open them all. Grace gave her a princess crown, wand, and handmade tutu. Every little girl needs a tutu. She also gave her the card she decorated for her which was covered in pink and purple glitter. A card is not a card without "sprinkles" you know. All in all it was a fun party and Ethan spent most of the time in the wrap napping which worked out pretty well.
