Taelin my little baby girl! Turned THREE yesterday! I can't believe that she has grown up soo fast! It really does feel like I had her just a little while ago. Non the less I am not OLD enough to have a THREE year old! It is crazy how fast life goes by, but it is SOOO rewarding!!!! I love my kids and couldn't imagine a life with out them.
A month ago we started talking about Taelin's birthday coming up. She thought we said that her birthday was "coming out" So ever since we talked about it she says " My birthday is coming out on June 10th " So cute! She let me know that she wanted a Pink birthday. Taelin has also been in love with dressing up like a princess so we combined the two and had a Prince and Princess party at the Robertson Castle.
Danny and I went around to Costco and RC Willey and collected boxes. Danny assembled them together and then cut windows and doorways then we painted them pink and purple the night before the party! They looked pretty good in the dark, and were wondering what they were going to look like in the light?! Surprisingly it turned out pretty good.
We had pink, purple, and white table cloths, balloons, and pink Cotton Candy! My Young Woman's leader from my home ward growing up let us use her Cotton Candy machine! It was a blast! Of course we had to test it out the day before to make sure it was going to taste all right! ; ) And of course it did! Who wouldn't like colored sugar? Danny was the Candy Spinner. All we needed was a Clown outfit and it would have been perfect!
Each child was given a gift bag full of royal treasures upon their carriages arrival. Each Princess received; a Princess hat, earrings, a necklace, a bracelet, a ring pop, and a wand. Each Prince received a sword and a ring pop and crown.
For our royal food, we had milk & cookies, grapes, bananas, and strawberries. Then of course we had to have a Cake worthy of a Princess. ( I found a cute idea for a cake online. ) Cinderella's carriage! I think that it turned out pretty good.
We played two games a water balloon challenge, they had to carry a water balloon on a soup spoon to the table without it falling off the spoon. The older kids actually were able to do it and asked how to make it harder. I then said walk faster! : ) it was fun! They had a good time breaking the balloons.
Then we played Red Rover! It was a little too grown up for the younger kids, but I think they had fun for the most part. Ring-a-round the Rosie. The kids seemed to have a good time. Then we sang happy birthday had food and opened presents. Then the kids went and played some more! Taelin was soo tired that night! It was great! She and Brick went right to sleep! It was a good day!
Thank you EVERYONE for making this a SPECIAL day for Taelin!
She loved it!!!
