Saturday morning was the perfect spring day for a backyard princess party with 6 almost 3-year olds and 4 almost 5-year olds.
Everyone arrived shortly after 10 and the playing commenced immediately. The new swing set was a hit. There were also wagon rides and sand box play.
Queen of the castle.
Lead by the older girls, the sand box combined with our outdoor kitchen set evolved into an elaborate tea party.
"Big" Clara serving Molly & Stella
Stella, Katie, & Molly
Stella, Clara D., Back of Janie's head, & Carmen
Eva in full princess regalia
Kierstin playing in the silly crab sand box
Carmen offering tea
Now the table is packed: Stella, Katie, Clara, Eva, & Janie
Tea is served...
Tea party in action
Prince Charming finally woke up for the party
Enjoying some of the delicious party fare
Molly, Katie (can you tell they're sisters?), & Clara
Molly, Katie, Clara, & Kierstin
A festivus miracle, everyone's looking at the camera
Now for the group shot: Stella, Molly, Katie, Eva, Clara D., Carmen, Clara Jean, Janie, & Kierstin
Oh how they've grown in a year, (back) Janie, Kierstin, Clara, Lula, (front) Carmen, Molly, Stella
Prince Jeekbo
Now its time to make the royal crowns!
Katie, Eva, & Clara
Her royal highness deep in thought
Sup!
Looking very regal.
Happy Birthday Clara
Enjoying the delicious cupcakes
Cupcake tree with Eva in the background
Jack with Nay2nay
Jack and Carmen literally bouncing off the walls
Post-party amazon princesses
After the guests left, lunch was eaten and a brief rest ensued before we were back out in the yard having more fun. A cold front moved through around noon which brought less humid air and sunny skies. It was a perfect afternoon.
Clara tackles & tickles Jeeks
Poised for a wagon ride
Clara joins in the fun
All aboard, the wagon's leaving the station.
Nature!Jack
All cleaned up, ready for more cake. Somehow Clara is butchering the word, "Cheese" such that this is her resultant face. The girl makes it her job not to smile for pictures I take.
