A belated surprise for Junie


We finally got around to giving Kate her "friend" birthday party, only three months AFTER her actual birthday! To make it more special for her, we did it as a surprise "Pink Piggy Princess" party. She was really excited.


We didn't invite a ton of kids, just Kate's four best friends, three of whom are in the photo above: Angie, Rachel, (then Kate) and Izzy — and, of course, Max had to be there, too!


Each person made her own pink princess crown, personalized with glitter and Sharpies and stick-on jewels (Max personalized a green visor, otherwise I would have been strangled by his father).


Then we played, "Pin the Pink Pearls on Miss Piggy" (aiming for her ears; she was already pretty well accessorized otherwise).


Then we took some time and did a service project making puppets to go with story books for kids at the Primary Children's Hospital.


Kate and her friend, Mary, working on the service project.


And, to eat, of course we had pink fizzy punch and SOUP, Kate's favorite food.


Blowing out the candles ...


... and sitting on the pink princess throne to open presents!


Finally, we did a game where the girls took 1 minute to make a princess outfit out of various scarves, fake jewels, a crown and a pink plastic tablecloth. Their results were very cute!


We love you, Katie June! You are our pink piggy princess forever!
