My daughters were invited to a princess party recently celebrating the birthday of their friend "A." Elauna was so excited to go; she tried on her princess dress 3 or 4 times that week just in anticipation of spending the day with her friend. When we arrived to "A"s house, we were welcomed by her mother "Miss L" who had decorated the house so nicely for the party. She had planned the most lovely party for all the girls invited, and the moms sure enjoyed watching their daughters play. Little girls in cute dresses with their hair done up.
"Miss L" had set up a photoshoot area with a pink linen backdrop and a white lace overlay, and balloons dangling around - very cute. There were tubs of dress-up clothes and a full length mirror. There were so many fun things for the girls, but I want to share why I was so impressed with this party. "Miss L" gave her daughter something much nicer than just a princess party, and she let her sweet spirit shine through. She gathered the girls around to share a princess story, and she told them they are true princesses, because God in Heaven is their father. She told them he loves each little princess there very much.
When it was time to eat, she asked the little princesses to join her in the kitchen to help serve the meal to the mothers and grandmothers. Each girl was given a task, and each did it with a smile. It really was a delight. After the meal, the girls gathered round to watch "A" open her gifts and were delighted with her joy. "Miss L" then had them sit around the table to decorate cookies. They could decorate one cookie for themself and at least one to give to someone else. Through their creativity, they were learning to share and make something beautiful for another person. Elauna made her cookies to give away for her Papa and Mimi.
The love of the Father, a servants heart, sharing with others.
These are the things every true princess should know! Thank you "Miss L" and happy birthday "A"!
