big papa's b-day

Katie wanted to have a party for Papa. She was also insistent on wearing her Cinderella costume.

Hence, we had a prince party for Papa today.

This week was a flurry of coloring, cutting, pasting and gluing to make decorations and a prince costume for Papa complete with shield, sword, crown and cape.

Katie was adamant about the cape. She even brought out her beloved reference guide/Bible (a.k.a. her Disney book) to show me how Prince Philip wore one.

We put Katie's big albeit appropriate dragon costume on Maddie and voila...



We played princely games.

And colored some princess coloring pages.

Katie and Papa created other games to play with the shield like throwing Memory pieces at each other.We played out back.
Including "tunnel," a current favorite of Maddie.

Happy Birthday Prince Papa. We love you so much and more.

Happy Birthday to your prince. What a good sport, the cape makes him look quite dashing and the shield quite brave.

Oh my goodness! That is beyond precious. I love that there isn't one picture of him looking remotely bored.

I am so impressed by the prince's devotion to his ladies and the work the queen and her princesses put into his day! Very cool!

Super cute you guys! You seem to be naturals at the whole royal family thing. Does this mean Halloween costumes are done?
