Princess Party

Abby had a princess party today, just so she could get some of her friends together for a play date. As we were getting some items for her party a couple of days ago, she told me she wanted presents at her party. I reminded her that this was not a birthday party, but a party to have friends over. She didn't seem so hit on the party without presents theme.

Both girls put on their princess attire. As a side note, both of these fit Abby and Tori doesn't look small in them at all. Tori is sure growing up fast. Tori loved her outfit so much, she twirled and danced. She didn't take it off all day.
When they got dressed Dad did get a little teary as she watched his cute girls look so pretty (boy wait until prom)!!

Here they are all dressed and ready to go, they both even let me pull their hair back, which in of itself was a special occasion.
Tori got to take a ride in the baby stroller, given by her sister. Abby tried to do the same, but it ripped, guess that 30 pounds is just too much for even this well made baby stroller.
The girls all had fun at the party, we had little sandwiches in the shapes of butterflies and leafs with some drink and chips. We decorated cupcakes and they even took some home to their family's. One of the last things they did was play in the basement. They wanted to watch some Dora, and set up their stadium seating to take in the show.
Tori and Maren didn't make the cut, so they had to watch from the sidelines.
It was a really fun time, sorry I didn't get more pictures, I forgot to pull the camera out, something I need to get better at.
After all the kids left we headed to see Great-Grandma. On the way the girls found great joy in covering their ears and screaming. You see the screaming is much louder if you cover you ears as you scream.
Great-Grandma really wanted KFC (by far not my favorite) but I did let her choose so we decided that we would pick some up when we got close to her house. What I didn't know was although it was really only 2 minutes from her, it would take us 30 minutes to find it. Everyone was grumpy and hungry by the time we got there, but soon forgot this and enjoyed our time there.

The girls were really good and didn't get into too much. We need to go visit her more often, it is good for all of us and I am sure she enjoys our company as much as we enjoy her. Next time, I will make sure to take a picture or two.
