Ali's Princess Party

Ali chose a Princess Party and had three cute friends there to help celebrate: Leah, Cambrie, and Addison. We played a dress-up relay race where they decked themselves out in jewels, ran to check themselves out in the mirror, then ran back and took all the jewels off so the next teammate could do the same; pin the crown on the princess (both the princess and crowns drawn by Ali); a treasure hunt for Cinderella's shoe that she had left behind on an earlier visit (the girls were super disappointed when I fessed up that said Princess hadn't really been here earlier); charades where they pretended to be a certain princesses and the girls guessed which one (these little actresses loved this game and we had to go through the list a second time because they wanted to keep playing); musical chairs where the chairs were Cinderella's coach that was changing back into a pumpkin, which was why it was shrinking; Freeze tag where the girl wearing a mask was the Wicked Witch and froze anyone she touched who could then be unfrozen if a friend tagged them (they loved this game and played for a long time, taking turns being the witch about every minute, and had to have a water break when they finally called it quits). We also made and decorated crowns and strung fruit loops on string to make necklaces. 

Because these Princesses were so sweet and kind, Musical Chairs ended in a three-way tie (Ali chose to control the music rather than play).

The Pinata, cake, and presents rounded out the party.

Jason and I love our Princess Ali and feel amazingly blessed to have this fun, thoughtful, funny, friendly, helpful, smart, silly girl in our family.
