A Royal Ball

Weekend before last, we celebrated Caroline's birthday with a princess tea party.  The girls had fun posing before the royal guests arrived.
 
Caroline was most excited about Ariel's Grotto (also known as the dining room).

 

Inspecting the Sweets

 
Our castle had quite a staff!
The Princess Greeting Her First Guests

The girls painted seashells as they arrived.



After some painting, it was time for tea.
I gave the girls a little lesson on Princess etiquette before the staff served their tea and refreshments.
Caroline made sure her napkin was in her lap.




The girls thought it was a lot of fun to drop in sugar cubes!




 Making a Wish
 Ariel and Cinderella arrived at the end of our tea time.




 Ariel and Cinderella led the girls on a treasure hunt, danced and did makeovers for the remainder of the party.









 The Treasure Hunt





After our guests departed, Caroline and Abby had a little private time with the princesses.  Caroline was showing Cinderella all of Ariel's human treasures in the pic below. 


We had pizza and opened presents with the family for the after party.  Caroline and Abby got new bikes from Brent and me.



Caroline was thrilled to get this Unicorn stick horse she had been wishing for from Little Bubba.
Nonnie, Pops, GiGi and PawPaw gave both girls their first American Girl Dolls.  These dolls are already well loved!
 
 
Abby couldn't wait to give Caroline her homemade card and Sophia tea party game she picked out.
Caroline was so sweet hugging each person after she opened their present.   It was a fun day fit for a princess!
