you say it's your (princess) birthday


the party-goers



on the 8th of November, it was SHEA'S BIRTHDAY! the darling little munchkin turned 5... and has not let us forget it since :). it was the cutest thing... Shawna decided to let her invite 5 friends over for the the party on the 7th. The back room (separate apartment, basically) has been finished for the time being, so the party was back there. sidenote: this room is going to be our work room/guest room/my room/whatever else we need. it was so cute... all of these little girls speaking dutch, all from different backgrounds.

here is the thing... we were expecting a room full of really off-the-wall girls, and they were super mellow. they played well, didn't fight, sat and listened to our friend Harmine read a book to them, sang to Disney Princess Music... it was adorable and really wonderfully low-maintainance. so fun. by the way; our friend Harmine totally came in and saved the day - she is dutch and was soooo good with all of the girls. she really made the day and was such a great person for all of the girls. Such a fun day... different from what i was expecting, but such a fabulous time hanging out with these little princesses :)
this little one was having a particularly hard time... harmine was so sweet to keep reading to her :)
