Princess Cupcake Party….

So I, stupidly I might add, asked what Gracie wanted to do for her birthday party since we will probably be going home around the time of her birthday which means we are going to have to celebrate.  I gave her the choice between princesses and Elmo.  At first she wanted Elmo, but quickly changed her mind (which made me happy) to princesses.  I began my search right away for ideas considering that we are only going to have 4 short days with each family so the more prepared I am, the less stressed out I will be come November.  Plus, as all of you know, I am a tad bit of a procrastinator so I figured if I get a head start on it now, then I won’t have a problem in a few months.  (We will see how that works for me!)

Anyway, Gracie spent two days talking about her princess party.  Many conversations along these lines happened through out the later part of the week, especially when it was time to leave the house:

Gracie: Going to my happy birthday princess party?

Me: No baby girl, we have to get a plane to go to your princess party.

Gracie: Get on a plane and go to Maca (Jamaica) to my princess party?

Me: No loviebug, we have many sleeps before we go to your princess party.

Gracie: Ok, mommy, I go to my princess birthday party.

At some point you just give up and move on.  So I came up with the idea to have a princess party here at the house over the weekend.  So I went and got cupcake stuff so we could make sprinkle cupcakes and cookies and cream cupcakes which are daddy’s favorite.  We got all dressed up in our dress up princess clothes and aprons and made cupcakes.  We had so much fun.  Our friend Jamie came over to help us too!!!!   

Getting ready to have some baking fun!  You can see she opted for the tutu instead of her princess clothes…I was kind of surprised!

 

She had so much fun with the sprinkles…there were sprinkles EVERYWHERE!  It was a little nuts! 

Finished product (can you see the sprinkles that didn’t make it on the cupcakes?) 

Other then our princess cupcake party, we had a very relaxing weekend.  Only 4 more days until I get a four day weekend, well an almost 4 day weekend.  I am definitely looking forward to it.
