It's still in the playroom almost three weeks later looking like it's been under constant siege by a band of roving marauders (or to be more precise, under constant siege by Max).
And now, the party photos!
Aunt Brenda, Cousin Jordan, and Grandma.
BB and Max. (Max is reminding everyone that, "Yeah, yeah ... Scarlett's three years old now, but let's not forget who's ONE, people!")
The Princess and the Queen.
Casting a spell with her wand. (She turned Max into a frog several times over the course of the day.)
Papa Tig and Max check out the balloons. Balloons are almost as awesome as balls.
Much to the delight of the Birthday Princess, a "real" Princess came to the party (not to be confused with a "pretend" princess ... be warned, there are pretend faker princesses everywhere it seems). Her name was Pink Princess. (Seriously. She pretty much politely refused to give us her real name. A little strange, but we just rolled with it.) The Pink Princess painted faces and made balloon animals and other balloon creations. Here's Scarlett consulting with the Pink Princess to decide what she wants painted on her face. The verdict: "a star princess." Since that was a little tricky, the Pink Princess drew a crown with a star on Scarlett's forehead so she she would look like a princess. With a star on her forehead. (Again, we just rolled with it.)
You may recall that I purchased mass quantities of blow up swords. Here's Scot getting whacked in the head by his daughter Megan, while Max looks on approvingly.
A wide angle shot of the living room. Note that Scot is still under attack, but his miniature attackers are multiplying.
Alysse loved her sword, and was too little to do much damage with it. She had a firm grip on it almost the entire party.
Bouncing!
Just in case Cousin Jordan was feeling nervous while she got her face painted, Scarlett showed her Pinky. Pinky can calm anyone's nerves.
Making crafts.
Inspired by crafting, Scarlett bedazzled baby Claire.
Getting ready to serenade the birthday girl, who was NOT pleased to have a roomful of people staring at her and singing.
There were even a few tears. But guess what made up for it? ...
CAKE!
Katherine shows Scarlett her lady bug balloon bracelet. When it was her turn, Scarlett asked the Pink Princess to make her a balloon carrot. We managed to talk her into a balloon bunny.
Michael and Henry showing off their ferocious cheetah faces.
Max and Peggy catching up on the back patio as the party was winding down. (Note that Max managed to snag one of those pink balloons he'd been admiring with Papa Tig.)
Opening presents after the party.
The little princesses and knights had a great time at the party. It was exhausting for some of the adults, and there's still a fine layer of glitter over 60% of our house, but all in all, the Pink Princess Party was tons of fun. We are looking forward to another great year with our smart, creative, and beautiful girl!
