so ella's PrincessParty™ was this evening, and it was awesome! Many were decked out to the nines with beautiful dresses, sparkly tiaras, sweet shoes, everything! There were party favor cone princess hats, a crafty moment where many made/decorated princess wands, and fun princess games. Every decoration, activity, and food item was well calculated and, oh so, thematic! Dawn has always been a super mo!
noteworthy: I had a bit of a blunder, aka a dress disaster, before the evening even began! I had intended/planned, all along, to wear my 'princess' dress (like at the 'bring something party' last year) ... lo & behold, the thing is falling off of me! I could literally pull it off & on without unzipping it! too much for a strapless *eek* So I had to make a last minute wardrobe change/descision... and went with the current classic: my lovely blue moh dress.
Ella had many little friends, as well as a plethora of big friends. So princesses were a plenty. Some of my favorite moments were watching all the little princesses on the treasure hunt... cute as can be, trying to peek under the couch for the next clue! and you can't count out the excitement as gifts were opened. girl is set for life in the dress-up department!
