Natalie is Four

Natalie is four and we had a monster princess bash at our house. Mary went all out getting games and decorations for our big girl. We turned out porch into a castle with cardboard towers on the corners and a canopy overhead. It was the talk of the town, and the girlies loved it. We had Natalie's gal pals come over to celebrate and it was a blast. It was Sleeping Beauty themed, and all the girls dressed up in their best princess get-ups. The best thing was when Sleeping Beauty herself showed up. Natalie had mailed an invitation to Sleeping Beauty c/o Disneyland and had high hopes of her coming. When Beauty showed up all we had to pick up Natalie's jaw off the floor. Ol' Beauty stayed for a while, read some books, gave her gift to Natalie, played a game, and helped to pass out Natalie's presents. Natalie still hasn't stopped talking about how Sleeping Beauty came to her party. It was the look on her face that made all the work worthwhile.
