The Princess Birthday Party

Yesterday, we had a joint birthday party for Lizzy and her 2 friends, Lauryn & Jordan (all who turned 4 in October). It was a blast for everyone (including moms and dads). All the girls came dressed up in their pretty princess dresses, and the boys showed up as knights. We had a treasure hunt, make a crown craft, pizza, cake & of course, the princess pinata!

The 3 of us moms also got excited about the party - we went to the local used clothes store, and we found some great dresses (and the cost couldn't be beat - 4 items for 10 pesos - about a quarter each).

The girls were excited that their moms were also princesses. I completely surprised Lizzy with my outfit! She had no idea that I had bought the dress until we were leaving to go to the party. The bible study that the moms at the base are doing talked this week about how we are all princesses in God's kingdom - we thought it was very fitting that particular study occurred this week. Now, if we could just figure out how to wear these dresses in our everyday lives...
