Princess Party Time!


For Lauren's 4th Birthday she wanted to have her friend over and have a "Princess Party." So four of Lauren's friends came over - Charlotte, Ashley, Kayle and Ella. We had a dress up time at the beginning of the party where they could try on different princess dresses. We had necklaces, tiaras, rings, bracelets and magic wands for all the girls. We had different stations set up where the girls could do a foam princess project or could get tattoos. Here's some pics from the start of the party...

Charlotte's Tattoo
Aidan "I want to come to the princess party!"

"Can't I get a princess tattoo?"

Then came the big surprise - Lauren didn't know, but Cinderella came to her party! Imagine how surprised she was when Cinderella rang the doorbell?


Lauren immediately changed out of the Snow White dress and into her Cinderella dress!

Cinderella read a book to the girls, taught them a dance, sang a song, taught them how to curtsy and wave and made them all official princesses. I think the girls (and the moms) had a great time!






After Cinderella left we had cake, opened gifts, did a pinata and played a game. I think Lauren and the girls had a great time and Lauren will remember this birthday forever!

We still had one more party to go this day! Next post, the family birthday party!

Summer Camp and a First Bike

June 1 - Lauren's first day of summer camp. Her school holds a summer camp, and the early childhood teachers take turns teaching each week. This week is her teacher from this year, Mrs. Steckler, so that has made things easy!

June 4 - I can't believe Lauren is 4 today! We brought Dora and Boots cupcakes to school today which she was very excited about and then tonight Shawn and I gave her some gifts. First was a bag with some little things - a Princess notebook, Princess blanket and Princess swim goggles (see a theme here?). Then she got her big gift - a Princess Bike!

Seeing her bike!

She hopped on and started riding right away - no fear at all!


Lauren loves her new bike!


And Aidan seems happy with his "Dora" tricycle hand-me-down!
