A Princess Party

We at last celebrated Elena's birthday with friends and family. Elena had a "Princess Party" (so original, right?), where all her little friends came wearing their "royal finest". We made crowns and had a royal procession down the stairs to eat our PB&J's. I couldn't just pick a few pictures, so here ya go.

Working on her crown.

Announcing her royal highness, Princess Elena!

One by one they were announced and came down the stairs... but this was by no means as orderly as it may sound. :)

Wardrobe malfunctions stopped the show for a little bit.

Our one and only prince! (He was a bit outnumbered, but it wouldn't be a party without him.)

Her jewels are sparkling!

And then....... chaos! At any point during the party there were one or multiple traffic jams.

Lunch... The sandwiches were cut into crown shapes.

The Cake... The woman decorating it didn't exactly catch my vision of how I'd like it done. But really, I don't care, because it was one less thing I had to do. And it was delicious!

Evan made himself scarce during the party, but you better believe he came running when he heard the word, "cake!"

Hey, I bet even Cinderella picked her boogers.

Prince Charming made a wardrobe change.

Char-Char, Aunt Patty, cousin Aubrey and Asher. Asher was really glad Char-Char was there to hold him the whole time.

Mace left work and was able to make it too!

We loved celebrating your four years, Elena!
