Annabella's 4th birthday party

So you can only guess what Annabella decided to have for her birthday party?!?! But of course, a princess party, what else?!! :) When I was looking up ideas for a princess party all I could find was themes like "kiss you prince", or "must escape from the evil witch", or even "get all your makeup on SO your prince will come and capture you (like he wouldn't otherwise?? haha)." Yuckk! All of those ideas sounded terrible. Call me old fashioned, but seriously... why don't I just stick her in front of the Disney Channel all day,hand her a teeny bopper magazine and be done with it! haha THEREFORE...I had something else in mind! :))

First things first! I had all the girls (and boys) make little tiaras and crowns for the royal celebration! :)

My little princess!!!!

All the princesses..and Malachi the Prince!! hehe

For story time I couldn't find anything I was looking for so I decided to make up a simple little story and print out pictures to go along with the story! Premise of the story- That we are all God's children which makes us princes and princesses and someday He will come back for us, but untill then we will wait and remember all that He has promised us! :)

The "treasure box"!!! This is when they got to dig in the chest and find a token and then cash it in for a special treasure. This treasure is to remind them that they have a wonderful inheritance in the Lord ..or in little kid language..they have a REALLY COOL GOD that loves them!! :)

They lined up to get their "treasures!" hehe

The little token they searched for...aka a poker chip! haha

Then after they all got their treasures I said the best thing we could give back to Our King is to Worship Him..soooo we made worship sticks! :) And Grandma is leading the team!

At their feast!

But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into His wonderful light.
