We have a four year old, and the princesses have invaded

Eszter turned four this last Saturday. She is such a sweet girl, and so smart! She is reading short words and having so much fun being a big sister. At AWANA she has every verse memorized from the beginning of the year. We are so proud of her, and love her so much. We can't believe she is already four!

Several months ago, Eszter informed me that she wanted a Princess birthday party. Fortunately for us, this doesn't mean a Disney princess party. The only knowledge she has of the disney princesses is that they were on her pull-ups while she was potty training, and the occasional drawing item she has received as gifts. Talk about a money-saver!
We had royal invitations, complete with a "hear ye, hear ye" and a castle cake. We gave Eszter a crown as a gift,

and she wore her flower girl dress from Teffy and Ha-er's wedding.
Brian very much wanted to escape. We ended up with 9, yes, 9 princesses in our home! The girls all looked so cute and they had so much fun. We played games, and they danced. It was so cute to see all the tulle floating around as they spun and jumped!

My friend Jen and I decorated the cakes. She makes the most delicious REAL (like, bakery real) buttercream frosting. Each princess had her own castle cake. Chara, feel free to make fun of me.
