Fairy-Tale Princess Party

 

 

Per Her Highness' request, Macie had a Princess theme for her 3 year old birthday party.  I don't normally think of us as indulging parents, but this day, one precious girl got just about everything her heart could desire for the best Princess party ever!  Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, was pink and purple.  Pink and purple cupcakes, pink and purple tablecloths, utensils, cookies, and pink punch.  The cake was one of those doll cakes that Gran Gran is so good at making.  We had Princess games, and even a real Princess showed up to read them a story!  Princess Senora, as she called herself, but sure looked just like that famous Princess Aurora!  So many pretty princesses, and a few handsome princes, too. (Even Clay Selby dressed up--see pic below) I never pictured myself putting on such a girly event, but it was very fun and I think Macie loved every minute of it.  Happy Birthday, precious Mae Mae!

 

 

 

Callie and Jack's Easter Parties

The "trouble" with 3 kiddos happens when they all have their Holiday parties on the same day...I made it to Macie's (seen on previous post), helped with Jack's, and barely made it to Callie's!  At least I got one photo of her!

Macie's Easter Egg Hunt

I love Holiday school parties!  Macie had her Easter Egg Hunt at MDO--so funny to watch a bunch of toddlers chasing after "hidden" eggs and candy.  Then one can hardly get them to pose for a picture because they are all too busy trying to open all of it! 

Jack's First Lost Tooth

.

Jack lost his first tooth!!!  We knew it was loose, and it came out while we were at a school function...so then we had to play "don't lose the tooth" for the nxt 2 hours!  He was very excited, and told everyone he could.  At bedtime, he became very thoughtful and quiet, and when it came time to put his tooth under his pillow, I could see the worry on his face.  "What EXACTLY is the Tooth Fairy?", he asked me.  I explained I was not really sure, but that she likes to collect the teeth and leave a prize in return.  "So, someone or something that I don't know will come in to my room while I am sleeping and take something out from under my head?"  Hm.  It does sound a little strange when you spell it out!  So, after some discussion, we decided that the tooth didn't have to be under his head, or even in his room!  We could leave it on the kitchen table, downstairs, and he wrote a note directing the Tooth Fairy/Stranger where to go.  Then there followed a discussion about how could she/it get in the house without setting the alarm off, and if she/it could do that, why couldn't bad people do that...good grief.  Most paranoid child ever! We did make it through the night, and he was pleased with the prize, thank goodness!  This will be an interesting journey!

Easter clothes...Leadership Training for Christ takes up Easter Weekend so we wore our Easter attire the Sunday before...thankful to remember Jesus' victory over death, not just this time of year but everyday!
