<\/a>\n[Oatmeal for her birthday breakfast. Not super excited about it, but eh, at least she wasn’t hungry…. :o)]<\/em><\/p>\n
Once we found a princess crown invitation online, we printed them off and sent them out. Afton felt super special doing this!<\/p>\n
Then we planned princess activities to do:<\/p>\n
Make a crown
\nMake a wand
\nDo make up
\nPaint nails
\nPretty hair do with ribbon and glitter spray<\/p>\n
After that we went shopping for all the princess things we could find. That was fun too. Afton is so princess that she was just in heaven picking out princess\/pretty things. <\/p>\n
The day of the party arrived. The party was scheduled on her actual birthday, September 7. We got all the cleaning and decorating done. The cake was a bit of drama (always is, you’d think I’d learn) but got done early too. <\/p>\n Then we just chilled till the party guests arrived. We put out the snacks and the kids played for a while. Then the princess rotation began. There were enough things to do that each girl was kept busy the whole time. <\/p>\n A young adult from our ward came and did the painting of the nails. Thanks Ashley! <\/p>\n Jaime did hair. I did make up (stop laughing). <\/p>\n Alix did the crown craft. Scott did the wand craft. Milo helped when needed. Niah and Keri joined the party.<\/p>\n Funny story. When I asked Scott to pick a station to help at he about died. He was NOT a princess and couldn’t do any of them. I talked him into doing the wands. By the end he was creating the most wonderful wands and was better at it than I was. He even admitted to enjoying himself. I love that about him. He can go from rough, tough macho man to princess dad in a heartbeat. Love it!<\/p>\n The party ended with presents, cake, ice cream and one tired and sick birthday girl. Yep folks, she got sick on her birthday. Lucky for us it was over in a few days and all was back to normal, but I’m sure her birthday would have been more complete without the sickness. But the party sure was fun!<\/p>\n My five favorite things about Afton:<\/p>\n -Total princess. She looks so cute when she comes down the stairs with “make-up” on (lip gloss). <\/p>\n -She can do her own hair. Needs some work, but super cute.<\/p>\n -She has a love of learning. Constantly asking why she can’t do school all the time.<\/p>\n -A good friend to laugh with. I constantly hear her and her friends laughing about whatever little girls laugh about!<\/p>\n<\/a>
