So my girls put on their favorite princess dress-ups joined the festivities. Tynley had costume jewelry for them to put on and sparkly crowns to adorn their heads:
She even had manly crowns and knight armor for Mr. Monkey and the two other boys who came along with their princess sisters.
There was a beauty station, where the girls got their hair done and their nails painted. And there were games, such as trying to walk like a princess with a book balanced on your head. Check out Snappy. Such poise! Such balance! Such beauty!
They also rolled out a big sheet of paper and let the kids draw castles, fairies and whatever else struck their fancy. But everything came to a halt when a ladybug joined the party. We made it an honorary princess. After all, it is a lady!
To top it off, there was a colorful pinata...that was apparently made of steel. I think the kids spent a half hour beating this thing, and it got nary a dent. Finally, Tynley pulled it down and pried it open, revealing ring pops and candy necklaces and bracelets. Yum.
A lovely time was had by all, as demonstrated by my demure little princess:
