Natalie's Princess/Gym Party

Natalie turned 3 this month. Truly can't believe it's been three years since she was born. Susan had a great idea to have Natalie's sitter and her friend dress up as princesses and come to a Princess Pre-party at her place. Vivie can dressed as Snow White and Natalie was Belle. Here they are with the two "real" princeses!



The boys were not too excited about the princess theme, mostly making themselves scarce upstairs. But we did tell them we needed the princes for a dance and they obliged. This video is admittedly rather boring, but if it is not a window into the awkward experience of middle school dances, I don't know what is.

Later, there was an awesome party at the Gymnastics Academy where Natalie takes classes. Pip and Viv LOVED it. We literally has to separate Pip from this rope swing forceably or he would have never left it.


There was also a huge trampoline and high jump into large foam squares. I found myself wondering whether it would be possible to construct something like this in the new house. I mean ... HOURS ... of free time ...
