Princess Party

I took Annie to Caitlin's 4th birthday party today. It was a Princess Party, so of course she wore her tutu, dress-up shoes, necklaces and bracelets, and a tiara. The other little princesses were similarly attired. What do princesses do at a party? Well, they make their own pizzas, have princess dance parties, play a princess trivia game and princess bingo, listen to the story of Cinderella, break a princess pinata, have a princess gift exchange (Annie got some stamps), and get their picture taken with CINDERELLA (Ena's sister Kelda, who really did look like Cinderella). It was quite the two-hour whirlwind. Annie had to tell everyone she saw today:

"I went to a princess party. And guess who was there???? (eyes wide) Cinderella. Yep." Nodding seriously.

Being there made me exhausted; however, it made Annie very, very hyper. She (luckily) did take a nap when we got home, but then went on a tear for the rest of the day - moving, jumping, running, singing, talking in a very spastic way right through her tricycle ride around the block and our lovely dinner with Heidi, Patrick, and Jonathan. Thank goodness she's in bed and please, please let her sleep later tomorrow than she did today. (6:20. Happy Saturday.)
