Our Princess Party

Yesterday our family had what we like to call a "Princess Party". When we were little girls, this involved dressing up in fancy dress-up clothes or dresses, sometimes wearing tiaras, and eating dinner without the boys. (Well, all two of them. Actually, this was usually before Peter was born, so we just kicked Daddy out.)
Since then, our "Princess Parties have become decidedly more adult. Usually we go out to dinner and then come home and try out various beauty routines while my Daddy, brother, and brethren-in-law watch hockey. But it was great fun. Some highlights included:
- Ivy's chocolate face mask. Her little brother Blake came up, looked at her, and said, "Why is your face brown?" Then turned to his cousin Ben and snickered, "Ivy looks goofy!"
- Ben coming up the stairs and getting his fingernails painted, much to his father's chagrin. Cut him some slack, he's three years old! Although, they were bright red.
- Ben coming up again and telling me, "Your face is all white, you skunk!" (Apparently "skunk" is his new pet name of choice)
- Kylie's princess cake- what a masterpiece!
- Seeing all the old princesses after 18 months- priceless

Wow. That blog read kind of like a Mastercard commercial. Sweet deal.
