Hail to the 6 year old


Claire turned 6 last week. We had her party at a place called Kiss A Frog. It's the best concept ever...all inclusive! You'll understand as I tell the story. Claire and 16 of her closest friends showed up Friday night and jumped in a bounce house with a slide, played with a huge doll house, and put on puppet shows. Then a princess appeared and guided them all into the wardrobe room where they were outfitted in about any gown possible, and then were given makeup and glitter to boot. The girls had fun twirling and changing out crowns, while the boys were being very brave and attempting to stay away from the girls. After everyone was decked out, they moved into the tea room, where tables were set with china and tea pots, with fruit and cakes in the middle. Everyone sang happy birthday and then enjoyed lemonade (we decided tea may not be enjoyed by everyone), cake and fruit. This was a hoot...everyone was practicing drinking with their pinkies up and being very proper in their beautiful dresses. After present opening, everyone disrobed and went their separate ways. We had a hard time getting Claire out of the building, as she was in awe of the princess and the wonderful gown she was wearing. She declared more than once that this was "the best day ever"! Mommy thought for the price it was probably the best birthday ever, all I did was walk in and walk out!
Make up by a princess and best friends!
The princesses telling the knight what to do, and making him bow to the queen. Plus some pirates tried to crash the party!
Tea party fit for a princess.
