We all dressed-up for the birthday party. Daddy announced us as we can down the stairs in "royal fashion". I even found an old bride's maid dress to wear. We had a fancy dinner with china and crystal.
We played "Find the Pea under the Mattress". (Using three pillows and a small ball.) Elizabeth, in true princess style, sat on the pillows until she could guess which one it was under. (See bottom left corner.) Joshua marched in next and surprised with his prowess with the sword...poking and prodding the pillows to victory. =)
Next was our "Pin the Kiss on the Frog" game. I'd initially planned to cut out little lips shapes, but when Nathan asked (mortified) if I was going to make them kiss the poster with lipstick on...I knew that was the better plan! I think the picture one up from the bottom on the left is prime for blackmailing in the years to come. =)
We finished the night off with the castle cake and a daddy-daughter dance.
The honest truth is that Elizabeth has been a bit taxing for all of us the last few weeks, and it's been a really great thing to have a positive reason to focus on her and show her a little extra love! What would we do without our girl?!
