because every princess has her admirers...

The day before Grace's birthday, we threw a backyard party with a princess theme, per her request. The funny part is that, of all the kids that were invited, only the boys ended up attending. Oh well, they didn't mind that the cake was a pink castle or that they had to eat it off of Disney princess plates, because...well...it was still cake, so who cares, right?
The cake was made by our friend, Erin, and it was amazing!
Grace's birthday is at the very end of May which is officially summer where we currently live. We could have never counted on being able to include the sprinkler and a kiddie pool in Ohio or Michigan at this time of year! All of the kids and the adults had fun and thankfully, no one was injured in the process of busting the piƱata open.
It may be the last time I ask Kris to retrieve a whiffle bat from the garage, though, if I can expect him to return with a broom handle, instead!
Funny final story: Since the party was held the day before Grace's actual birthday, everyone who called her to wish her a happy birthday on Sunday had to argue with her that yes, it was her birthday and no, it was not over yesterday!
