Makenna's 4th Birthday - A Princess Tea Party

Makenna LOVES princesses and tea parties so it was only fitting to make her 4th birthday party a princess tea party. And the added benefit was that Makenna got to wear her Halloween costume one more time. We held her party on November 23rd.

A lot of little princess and knights (we had to incorporate the boys somehow) came to the party.  Their first stop was to get outfitted at the "Princess Wardrobe" or "Knights Armory".
(The "Princess Wardrobe" had felt crowns, necklaces, rings, and bracelets)
(The "Knights Armory" had felt swords, felt helmets, and shields)
After the princesses and knights were properly dressed they went off on "The Quest For Lost Things".  Each of the princesses had lost items around our house that had to be found.  The kids had a great time looking all over the house for all of the princess' items.


Next we went on a scavenger hunt for Princess Makenna's lost shoe.  There were clues given from various princess movies and at the end we did indeed find her shoe and candy treasure.

The last game that we played was "Pin the Kiss on the Frog".

We had lots of Princess inspired snacks to eat.
  • Rapunzel's Lovely Locks Pasta Salad
  • Snow White's Apple Slices (It was brought to my attention that I should have put "non-poisonous")
  • TinkerBell's Pixie Dust (Pixie Sticks)
  • Cinderella's Pumpkin Muffins
  • Jasmine's Magic Carpet Cheese and Crackers
  • Belle's Chip and Dip Bowl
  • Snow White and The Seven Layer Dip
  • Merida's Teddy Grahams
  • Ariel's Dinglehopper (Forks and other utensils)
  • Mulan's Green Tea
  • Aurora's Sleepytime Tea
  • Princess Makenna's Pink Tea


And princess tea tea party inspired table decor.

The kids were able to color their own tea cup and then it was time for cupcakes...

Cupcakes were made to look like teacups

and PRESENTS!!

Makenna cannot stop talking about how much fun she had at her fourth birthday and that makes it all worth it. She is getting so big so quick and it was nice to be able to celebrate our not-so-little, little girl with our friends and family.  Happy 4th Birthday to our little princess!!
