C's princess party was a blast. Although there were only 2 princesses among the many princes, everyone had fun. We started the party by having the kids colour their loot bags and design their very own crowns.
Then we had the kids scrambled about the garden to search for the king's missing jewels (we used glass marbles and scattered them among the garden pebbles, flower pots, etc). It was then lunch time. Everyone washed their hands and sat down for lunch. It was also rest time for the adults to catch up and mingle :-)
After lunch, it was games time again! We played 'Princess Walk' in which teams had to balance a bean bag on their head and walk the length of the garden without dropping the bean bag. The little ones were busy playing with home-made glitter playdough. The kids also made wands - we used the same wands for both boys and girls, and were initially worried that the boys may not want to participate. But kids have such great imagination. The boys happily made the wands and played 'wizards' with them.
Then it was cake cutting time. Poh-Poh made this really cool pink castle cake for C. After chomping down the cake, we gathered the kids around our hand-made castle pinata. The kids were so excited and we had to keep them from pulling the ribbons before everyone was in position. Upon the word 'Go!', it was raining candies, chocolates and lollies, and the kids were happily stuffing them into their goodie bags :-)
When it was time to say goodbye, C got rather upset that her friends were leaving, but we managed to distract her by getting her to open her presents. And we finally got to sit back and relax, and gave ourselves a pat on the back for yet another great party!
