Ella has wanted a princess party for over a year now. I had SO MUCH fun putting it together with lots of help from my mom. For Christmas this year my family did a service exchange instead of our traditional gift exchange. My parents got our family and as our gift my mom made Ella's birthday cake, eclairs, chocolate covered Oreos, play dough (for gift bags), and a pin the kiss on the frog game. We invited Ella's friends from preschool along with Gabe and Makaylee. We were so excited they could all come and that they dressed up in such fun princess and prince costumes. We had a great time playing frog, frog, princess (our version of duck, duck, goose), "Who's got the button?", pin the kiss on the frog, and having a tea party. Ella talked about her princess party for weeks before her birthday and after all of her friends left, she asked if we could have one again later that night. She had a great time and so did we. We love our little princess and are so lucky to be her parents.
