Lilly's Princess Party

Lilly turned 5 on Friday.  Man, where has the time gone?

While we had a little celebration as a family on Friday night, Saturday was the "Princess Party" for all her friends from school.  The community room at the local library served as the "Royal Palace" for fairy tales, a lot of coloring, cake, and of course a piñata.

  4. Your right, Michael, it seems only a few posts ago when I first met a very young LillY through your blog.

    No time for boys at a party like this.

  5. First, I gotta say that you are one cool Dad. :) Second, the kid is super cute as always. Third, that cake looks awesome! Very colorful and fits the theme! Fourth, I gotta echo Clif....pinata's and princesses? This old guy is scratchin' his (thinning)head. :)

    I'm sure they all had a blast and I hope Lilly told you you're the best dad ever. :)

    #1 - Every party should have a pinata. Period. I don't even care what the occasion is...it's candy falling from the sky.

    As far as the ribbons, I guess princesses don't swing sticks or baseball bats(?) so this piñata had ribbons. Only one opened the trap door at the bottom, but the kids weren't following so we had them all pull at the same time.

    Agreed. Haven't been around so many beautiful young ladies in quite some time.

    No boys allowed. I was allowed, but only because I was the King.

  18. They grow up too fast. I'm due for a princess party in a couple of years once my daughter is a little older. Can I count on a troutrageous tutorial?
