Princess/Knight Party

Blair wanted a Princess party but because she wanted to invite everyone from her preschool class (boys included) I decided there needed to be a boyish theme too!  Nathan came up with knights so knights is was. Blair had a great time!  The only complaint she had was that all her friends took all the candy.  She REALLY wanted a Pinata for her party so she helped me stuff it.  I guess she thought all the candy was for her?  Silly girl!

We had the party at the park just down the road from us.  Most of the preschool kids just walked down with Ms. Valerie and Ms. Laurie after school was over.  When everyone arrived the girls got tiaras and the boys got foam swords.  It was ridiculously windy that day so the crowns didn't stay on the girls very well.  The swords were a huge hit and I think the girls would have preferred them over the tiaras.  Oops!  

We ate pizza and fruit.  Valerie helped me make fruit wands (fruit on a kabob stick-I forgot to take a picture) and fruit on swords (sword toothpicks-again I forgot to take a picture).  They were cute though and I got lots of compliments.

The kids played on the playground and also wrote with chalk and played with the bubble machine.  Then they each got a turn to hit the pinata.

Pinata time!

Dyer was very excited for his turn!

Blair was the last one to hit and she went to town:

Afterwards we sang Happy Birthday to Blair and since it was so windy we weren't able to light her candles.  I think she was a little disappointed with that too!  I tried several times to light them but it wouldn't work.

She wouldn't even pretend to blow them out because it wasn't the real thing.

Girl cupcake (We also had all different kinds of princesses).

We tried opening some gifts but it got way too crazy with everyone handing Blair their gift.  Plus with the wind all the bags and tissue paper kept blowing away.  She really only opened about three gifts before I told her she would have to wait until we got home.

Blair's real birthday isn't until June 8th but we wanted to make sure and have her party before school got out.  Blair is now officially finished with her first year of preschool!
