Patrick got a dinosaur party, so Pinkie wanted a princess party. I went with wedding-style invitations:
tea party refreshments (including awesome cupcakes courtesy of Barbara):
and five-year-old games such as freeze dancing (somehow I didn’t think they’d want to do a nice princessy gavotte):
We had the court photographer (Richard) take a royal portrait of each princess:
We were also graced with the presence of Queen Cheryl (Susanna’s godmother) and Fairy Godmother Viviana (Susanna’s fairy godmother, of course):
Susanna’s verdict: The party was “very pretty and very fun.” I hope that all the other princesses feel the same. The other moms were great, pitching right in with my sort-of-half-*ssed plan with absolutely no notice. And I have learned my lesson regarding party games. Should the situation arise again, I will be sure to feature games in which no one goes out.
