Princess for a day! Again!
Kaylie celebrated her 1st/4th birthday on her first real birthday... Leap Day! She had seven little princess friends come to her party and they all got little princess shirts that said "pretty" and Kaylie's shirt said "princess." (Being the talented mother that I am, I sewed toole around the hem to make them look like princess skirts. Not all the girls wanted to wear them so I never really got a good picture of them, but they were darn cute if I do say so myself!) We read the book "The Frog Prince" and then played Pin the Crown of the Frog Prince. We also played musical pillows because princesses don't sit on hard chairs. And we also played Pass the Frog, but in all honesty, it doesn't work very well to tell little girls they have to sit out of a game! I think they had fun - or at least I want to believe they did.Kaylie got clothes from her Ba Noi and Ong Noi, PollyWalks from her Aunt Linh and cousins Luke and Noah, a gift card from her Uncle Vu, a two-wheel scooter and helmet from her Grandma and Grandpa, a musical toothbrush from her Aunt Tammy and cousin Megan, a princess plate, bowl, and cup set from Tanner and Taylin, Polly Pockets from Mom and Dad, the Island Princess elephant from our good friends who came down from Fort Worth, the Clarks, a Littlest Pet Shop magnet case from Brittany, the Barbie movie Mariposa from Morgan, a High School Musical keychain, bubbles and candy from Kyla, and a Barbie phone from Nicole. With each gift she opened, it was proudly displayed as high above her head as she could get, standing on her tippy-toes accompanied with a huge smile! Thanks everyone for making her day so wonderful!!
This is the cake I made (so proud of it - pat my own back) and her invitation which reads...

Your cakes are magnifique! (A pathetic attempt of my latest greatest language acquisition- which would be the extent of it). The shirts sound adorable. I'd like to copy the idea. Would you send me a picture it? Please, Please.
I need to do that - take a picture of Kaylie in hers so I can share the details, but until then, my sister told me about a website that she saw them on which is what I followed (sort of) for a lot less $$$. Check it out... www.tufortee.com.
I am so impressed with your cakes!!!! They are beautiful. I suspect Tanner wouldent want me to call his cake beautiful but, oh well.
Kim I didn't know you like to make cakes. It's so cute! Tell the kids hi for us. Also Sophie wishes she had girl cousins around.
You are too cute Kim! Adorable cake and a very creative invitation!! See - that's why I want a girl!!!! And what a list of fun girlie presents! I'm sure she loved it! Hope you had a Happy Birthday Kaylie! We miss ya'all!
Princess Bubbas is the cutest in all the land! I'm completely bummed we missed her celebration. 7 little princesses...how adorable!
