Zoe's Princess Birthday Party!!(This is a long one)

So, Zoe is finally 3!! We are out of the terrible two's. On her actual bday which was the 21st (last thursday), she wanted to go to McDonalds and get a happy meal because they had Star Wars toys in them, so that is what we did. Then that night we had oreo ice cream with sprinkles and she opened 3 presents. She got a princess cd player (plastic cds) and some barbie plates and cups, and 2 shirts from the Disney store.
Then, I spent the ENTIRE next day making her birthday cake. She has been waiting for MONTHS for me to make this cake for her.

Then the next day, which would be saturday, was her Princess Tea Party. So we got up, and I curled hers and Kamryn's hair ( kam and boston were staying with us that week.)

First all the kids had a tea party, complete with real tea cups, pink "tea", and cute little doo dads to eat. Once that was over, then they made their own princess crowns. Yes, Austin and Addison did too. Then I gave them all necklaces and rings and we quickly tried to take a picture of all of them together. This was not a success.

The kids then got to play "Pin the glass slipper on Cinderella". Zoe went first and she very concerned about why her slipper wasnt on the right spot. She kept saying "But No Momma, it goes HERE!!" Kamryn won this game and got a prize.





Next was the "Pass Snow White's Apple" game. It is just like Hot Potato. So we turned on some muzic from Snow White and off they went. Abbi won this game. Zoe was the first one out!! But she was cool with it because she got a consolation prize- princess fruit snacks.




Let's see, then she opened some presents....




We then sang Happy Birthday to her, which she was very embarrased about, and ate some cake. After the party, she would NOT take off her princess dress, and she played with all her new toys all day long. She loves them!!! Thank you to everyone who came. It was A LOT of fun and Zoe loved having you there!! Oh, and thanks to Shannon who motivated and helped me get this party going in her bday month instead of 2 months later, Jana for fixing the zipper on my dress so that I could wear it, Cassie for saving my bleep when my camera batteries died, and Wendy and my Mom for helping me clean everything up, and Travis for running to Goodwill at 7 am to get all the teacups for only $2!!!! (We washed them), and Zoe for being such a girlie girl so that I can throw you a PRincess PartY!!!HAPPY BIRTHDAY PRINCESS ZOE!! WE LOVE YOUR ROYAL LITTLE GUTS!!!

Amy- The party was awesome! We need to get your Bell and my Cinderella together to play they would have a blast! I loved the cake so pretty too bad you had to eat it! I'm finding that 3 is more of a challenge then 2 was!!
