THE almost MIDNIGHT MASQUERADE

Josie's Princess Party
I am not sure why but I can't seem to bring myself to host a strait from your local Disney store Princess Party. Tressa's turned into a Nights and Ladies jousting tournament and Josie's ended up being a dance. Neither of which ever had a single mention of a Disney Princess. Oh well, maybe with Aspen I will be able to conquer my phobia of all things pop-culture.

With that being said, Josie's party had to be the best children's party I have ever been to. Not because of my great party planning skills but simply because the kids made it so great. The played, laughed, screamed, and generally had a ball with absolutely no tears (at least not until their rides showed up to take them home). They listened and participated, they cheered for each other and never complained about anything. About half way through the night I was began to wonder if it was the calm before the storm, but it never came. Not to say that it wasn't crazy and chaotic-but it was happy and fun craziness, which is so much fun. So to all of our little princess guests and their wonderful parents who taught them to behave so splendidly. THANK YOU!

And one more huge Thank You to Krista who stopped by to say hi and stayed to help with , well everything. I really don't think it would have gone so well without her.

And finally some pictures of our

Almost Midnight Masquerade
All the little Princesses running out to meet each new arrival.

The beautiful corsages that one of the Mom's brought for each girl Wish I had thought of it myself. They were such a hit and looked absolutely darling on their little arms.

The girls dancing

Making the masks (which they didn't get to wear because the glue wouldn't dry in time).

Aspen's mask that had so much glue it didn't dry for a week! She loves glitter glue.
