Princess Jane

Audrey Jane is 3!

Jane's birthday was last Friday. Saturday was her party. Her party request for this year was "Pink Princesses"...easy enough. She invited three friends because she turned 3: Claire, who came all the way from Logan, Emmaline, who came all the way from Missouri, and Sara, who came all the way from around the corner.


Sara was the only one lucky enough to get a bonafide invitation. This will actually be the first post of a new Paper Crafting Blog I am feeling brave enough to start in the next week or so...keep an eye out for that if you're brave enough to read it.

The party started out with dancing while we waited for everyone to arrive. I was pleased that all the girls were able to wear pink.


First official item of Princess Business: Crowns.

Each girl was able to decorate her own tiara that she could wear for the rest of the party. Cute!

Once everyone's head was properly adorned, the princesses all set out on the Treasure Hunt.

Picture clues led the girls from room to room...

Note the tricycle.
That was Jane's present from Mom and Dad that we gave her at the family party on Friday night.

...until they finally found the hidden treasure:

more princess clothes!

Everyone had their own skirt, shoes, and necklaces to go with their new crowns.

And what is a party without cake and candles?

Apparently, if you ask Jane, it's a better party without cake and candles. Such a sad face.

At least Megan and Lottie were excited.

Let the gift opening commence!


Thank you to Claire and Tannie for the Belle barbie doll, Sara for the singing princess shoes, and Emmaline for the beautiful butterfly picture.


The party wrapped up nicely with all the girls playing with Jane's new princess puzzles.


All in all, I thought it went very well. Hooray for birthdays and hooray for small parenting/party successes.

Happy Birthday, Jane!
