Making Wishes Come True

We celebrated Katie's 4th birthday last Saturday, although her b'day was really on the 12th--she was confused for most of the week, actually...

Anyway, we invited all of her friends and then invited Cinderella to grace us with her presence! Katie was speechless, which is very uncommon for her, but she warmed up quickly and was so excited.

Cinderella came in her "work" clothes and gathered all of the kids around her. She began to tell them her story and let the kids fill in the parts they knew. Of course Katie knew EVERYTHING even before Cinderella could say it! Then she said that since her Fairy Godmother couldn't be with her that day, she would have to get ready for the ball like the rest of us, and she dashed off to change her clothes. When she returned everyone danced like they were at the ball and everyone had a picture taken with the princess. It was a lot of fun!




This is a picture with as many kids as we could get together. There were a whole lot more running around, who could have cared less that Cinderella was there. (Note: George admonishing his friend, Samantha! He gets his bossiness from his big sister)








This is Katie and one of her best friends, Jace, with the Cinderella birthday cake I made at the request of the birthday girl.









I promise that not all of my posts will be about the kids, but I thought I'd share Katie's birthday surprise with all of you since you could not be there. If you want to see more pics, let me know and I can email them, we have a ton and they're really cute!
