Birthday Party

P2 had a Princess Leia birthday party. At first we were only going to invited girls, but since 3 of her girl friends were out of town, we decided to invited some boys. I made Princess Leia headbands for the girls, and Yoda ears for the boys.

The kids built droids: 

They all made Ewok puppets:

 

And they made their own light sabers:

From her friends she received: a Jasmine Lego set, Jasmine dress up accessories, a giant princess coloring book with glitter markers, a water coloring set, and a baby doll. All the girls wanted to try on the Jasmine accessories!

It was a fun party with no major mishaps!

Dear P2,

How can you already be 5? I can't believe you will be starting Kindergarten soon. You are the sweetheart of our family. I love how you (usually) share and play well with your brothers. You are an eager helper, and love to make lunch all by yourself when I let you. You enjoy princesses, dolls, and wearing pretty things. But you also like Star Wars, Pokemon, and chasing your brothers around. You can be quite stubborn, and struggle with some anxiety. New things are hard for you to do on your own, probably since you are used to doing everything with P1. You are patient with me trying to do your hair, since that is not one of my talents. You love playing with friends and going to the park. You are a light in our family, and we love you!

Love, 

Mom

P2 wanted a Princess Leia birthday, so I made this cute banner for her birthday:

 

Family came over to celebrate:

 

From family she received a plush dog, a giant coloring book with colored pencils, a dress, nice smelling hand-soap, the book Miss Rumphius, and a pink scooter!
