Princess Shelby's 4th Birthday Bash

Shelby decided she wanted a princess party for her birthday this year and of course I got completely out of control with the planning. We decided to combine it with her cousin Colton's birthday since they are only about 10 days apart and make it a princess and knight party. We outfitted all of the knights with swords and armor as they arrived and all of the princesses with jewelry, tiaras, and wands. Then we had princess horsey rides.



Next we had the luncheon with star shaped sandwiches and fruit with purple dip.


After lunch the knights played pop the balloon with the joust, shot a bow and arrow, and slayed a dragon pinata. The princesses played does the slipper fit and pea under the mattress. Then the doorbell rang and Shelby went to answer it. Believe it or not it was Cinderella, "the REAL Cinderella" with Prince Charming. She wasn't to sure what to think at first but once they got out the REAL glass slipper they had brought for her the smile came back. They sang songs and danced and took pictures with the girls then they delivered glass slipper party favors on silk pillows filled with candy. They helped blow out the candles and the kids attacked the dessert table. It was a hit but as my brother told me. "you know next year you could just fly her out to Disneyland for about the same cost and less work." This may be true but I may only get to do a princess party once. She's already informed me that next year for her birthday she wants to be a Rock Star. They just grow up sooo fast.















And last but certainly not least it was present time. The favorite by far: Two New Kitties!
