A Party Fit for a Princess!

Saturday was the Grand Finale to Kamdyn's birthday week! To say that Kamdyn had a blast would be a complete understatement. She jumped in the princess jumping castle from the time it was delivered at 12:00 until around 5:30. She survived the day without a nap and was actually quite pleasant the entire day. Here are some highlights from the party! Well, maybe not highlights. It's more of a play-by-play! I am so horrible at choosing pictures to post, but I did leave a lot of them out.....believe it or not! 40 out of 115 pictures, that's not too bad! =)

She chose a princess theme this year....

She even picked out her invitation. It's hard to see it because I scanned it.





Nanny and Kamdyn prior to the arrival of the kids. Kamdyn was having a hard time being patient! Nanny was trying to keep her occupied.


Mama Lucy and Kamdyn. I LOVE this picture!!


Uncle Matthew's turn to occupy her!


You see that she did NOT want to have her picture taken with me. She put her fingers in her ears to show that she wasn't listening to me!!


A view before everyone arrived! We had to shift some things around once the sun started moving.


The Arts and Crafts table with Princess Mirrors and Treasure Boxes.


Princess Mirrors for the girls to decorate.


Treasure boxes for the boys to decorate. (Sorry it's sideways!)


Kamdyn closing her eyes waiting on her BIG surprise from Richard and me. We decided to give her the gift from us prior to the party starting.


Does she look happy or what? We figured we would start her out small on the motorized cars so she could get the hang of it!!


Daddy putting Kamdyn's shoes on so she could ride her new motorized car from Mommy and Daddy!


Kamdyn's Prince arrived and was WAY too cute!! We love Jacob!

Catherine and Kamdyn blowing bubbles.


All of the older children were such a big help with the little ones! I was so glad that they were there!!

Kamdyn was obsessed with decorating her princess mirror. Two of her favorite people were watching her! She LOVES anything related to arts and crafts: painting, drawing, coloring, etc.

Paden riding on the tricycle.


The fabulous cake made by Georgia! Yes, made by Georgia!! There's nothing that she can't do. She is awesome and we are so lucky to have her in our lives!!


Jacob resting and enjoying some snacks. Isn't he adorable??

The children enjoying the beautiful day on the playset.


Mommy couldn't get the candles lit. I had to call Daddy for some HELP!!


Waiting on Daddy to light the candles.


Everyone waiting for Kamdyn to blow the candles out! The wind wasn't cooperating with the flames on the candles!!


After blowing out the candles on her personal cake.


Blowing the candles out on her BIG cake!


The "Royal" Table completely set with juice boxes, paper plates, and paper napkins!! Ha! Ha!


The Princess enjoying some cake and ice cream.


Me trying to help Kamdyn understand that she must first open the cards to see who gave her the gifts. Not such an easy concept for her to understand!


The crowd watching Kamdyn open her mound of gifts. She is so blessed to have so many who love her!


Ruthie relaxing in the castle while Kamdyn was opening presents.


Kamdyn was so funny when she opened clothes. I guess she is finally to the age where getting clothes doesn't really constitute a present. She would quickly shove the clothes to the side and look for another gift to open. She did get some adorable clothes for Spring and Summer!


Mama Lucy and Uncle Matthew enjoying the festivities and Kamdyn opening her presents.


Doesn't Ana Blake looked thrilled? She was such a big help to me the entire party. She and her friend, Chloe (Jo Jo from Seussical), kept the children entertained.


Kamdyn and I were taking a break watching everyone else try to break their necks!


Kamdyn and I jumping away!


Kamdyn loved having both of us in "her" castle! We were trying to figure out all day how we were going to break the news to her that it wasn't technically "hers!"


Ana Blake was showing Richard how to cut a flip and trying to convince him to do it, too! The youngins couldn't understand why we didn't want to attempt these daring tricks. If they only knew how it feels to get "old!" We wouldn't walk for a few days after trying such a stunt!


Richard jumping "high!" This was about as wild as he got!
