A Princess Tea Party

Ellie really wanted a Princess Tea Party for her birthday, and since her birthday is in the summer we decided to have a family party on her birthday and a party with all her little friends once everyone was back in school and done vacationing! So our little princess totally scored this year with 2 parties!! I have to say I think I had just as much fun throwing the party as the girls did participating in it :) The invitations requested that all the girls come dressed as a pretty princess and as you can see all the girls looked beautiful all dressed up!

Here are all the little princesses ready for their royal tea party: Katie, Peyton, Ellie, McKenna, Karley, Karlee, Berlin, and Mackenzie


We started off this Princess party by making some bracelets. It was fun seeing the different designs that the girls came up with!


Then the girls had a Tea Party minus the tea :) and while they ate they listened to some princess music. It was amazing to me that all the girls knew all the songs and were excited to be the first to say what it song it was :)

They made made picture frames which turned out so cute, they did a really good job!


We also played the "Poison Apple" game (a.k.a. hot potato). Mackenzie didn't want to play until she realized that when you are out of the game you get to pick a prize. So she quickly changed her mind and played the game :)

Ellie got some great presents! One of her friends (Peyton) was so excited about what she got Ellie that she could hardly wait for her to open it, and she even had me look inside the bag to make sure that she would like it! It was too cute :)

By the time we sang "Happy Birthday" and ate some princess cake Mommy's were coming to pick up their little princesses. So Ellie gave all her friends bags full of princess gear and hugs goodbye. I hope that all the girls had a great time, because I know I did :)
