Saturday we had a Mother/Daughter Lunch at our church. Heather has been busy, having just moved and wasn't able to come. Laura came and took Alaina and Ruby. The theme was a Princess Party with the reminder that we are daughters of the King.
There were about 120 women and girls there.
Our lunch had a variety of pasta, which included macaroni and cheese. This made Ruby happy because she had asked for it for breakfast and was sad when Aaron told her that wasn't on the breakfast menu!
After lunch, the girls had their picture taken in this photo spot.
They joined all the other girls to hear a story read. It was the book 'God made you special' by Max Lucado. The story reminds us that God made everyone special and unique!
Then we played Princess Bingo. The spots that are usually filled with numbers were filled with things that go with Princesses, Christian attributes and biblical queens.
There were 5 winners and Alaina was one of them. She was so excited to take this flower home!
They got to make wands with ribbons and stickers.
The finished wands.
Here are all the little Princesses gathered for a group shot.
Once they were all together, the little Princesses went on a parade through the room.
Before we left, we were served pink and purple cupcakes and ice cream. Ruby was busy making sure she got the ice cream back to the table, and forgot her cupcake. Alaina offered to get it for her. Ruby said "Alaina is such a nice sister". When Alaina came back with the cupcake, Ruby said "I love you Alaina, you're my best friend". Aww - melted my heart.
Ruby, me, Alaina, Laura
Sweet post and sweet little girls.
ReplyDeleteAww what a sweet thing to say. :)
ReplyDeleteMari why aren't you wearing a princess dress?
Awww, the last words melted my heart. Sweet, sweet memories.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet day to spend with all your princesses, Mari.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun day and I know the girls enjoyed all the activities. Along with the fun, they learn how God loves and takes care of us. How sweet that Alaina went back for the cupcake and that Ruby thanked her...and winning the plant was very special.
ReplyDeleteWhat a special event!
ReplyDeleteLooks like they had a wonderful time and sweet memories were made.
