Megan's Friend Party

Megan has been so excited for her friend birthday party and hasn't stopped talking about it for many weeks.  She finally decided she wanted a Princess Party and only wanted to invite girls to come.  The day finally came and she was beside herself with excitement.
Amy was able to have Lydia and Cora come to the party since she was down for her baby shower that was earlier in the day.

Half of the girls came in princess dresses and the others we offered to wear one of Megan and Allie's dresses.  Only one girl didn't want to wear one.  They all looked so cute being princesses.
Megan had three kids from her class come plus one sister of a friend who is also in our ward and a good friend of Josh (Brilynn).

We started out by letting the kids decorate crowns.  They were able to put on sticky jewels on the front and color on the back if they wanted.  After the princess had their crowns it was time to make bracelets.  The girls got to choose what color they wanted and we had a big container of beads for them to choose from.  They had fun being creative and each girl did a great job.

I had planned for the girls to play for a little while before starting our next activity.  The girls were not so interested in free play and really wanted to get on with the next activity.  So I got the Princess Bingo all ready for the girls to play.  Tony called the squares and I think they liked it but it only held their attention for a few times of bingo.

So Tony turned on some Princess songs on the TV and the girls liked dancing around.  He then let each girl pick which song she wanted to hear and they all danced and sang to the songs.  It was pretty cute to see them all get into the music and twirl around like princesses.
After everyone got a turn to sing their song we moved onto opening presents.  Megan was so excited to see what everyone gave her.  Everyone was so nice and she loved everything.

Then it was cupcake and ice cream time.  I decided to let Megan pick out a cake from Sam's Club.  This one was a mermaid small cake with cupcakes around it.  It was perfect.  Cute mermaid rings and two different choices of cupcakes.  Each girl enjoyed their treat and then played some more before their parents came.  I think the girls had a good time and Megan loved her party.  I am glad that she had a good time and I am even more glad that I don't have to do another kid party for many years.
