Pony Party

Today we celebrate (in the heat) Kara's party with friends and family. She was blessed to have Angeli, Rachelle, Samantha, Asa, Madison, Laura, and Kyra attend her Princess' and Pony Party. Her gown was hand sewn by Grandma and each princess arrived in royal attire. Daddy bought her a castle pinata which was filled with hair accessories and candy. Thankfully we only put a little bit of chocolate in the thing because when it fell it immediately splatted because it was all MELTED!! Grandma and Grandpa, Aunt Dion and Uncle Nick all pitched in to get her the ponies for the day. Thank you Family! The ponies arrived at 11am and each girl got several opportunities to ride. Stamp activities and color pages kept everyone else busy while waiting their turn. We ate hotdogs, snacks,, pink punch, and then had princess cake (thanks Ya-Ya) and ice cream. Kara gave each person a gift and then took her picture with them. She opened her presents and thanked everyone. Daddy went shopping for her and got her a God's Little Princess video and Tea Set Book. He shopped and shopped for her to find an Ariel necklace. The one he found even had earrings. Grandma knows she loves sundresses so she made a white one, a yellow princess print, and an aqua blue Ariel one. She also found a long sleeveless Ariel gown for her to wear and some cute princess T-shirts. The Princess toaster was too much! It imprints a glass slipper on your bread and sings a song whent the toast is done. We'll be eating toast for weeks! Grandma also got her a Hannah Montana mike which lets you sing off of the radio. She also got her a Hanna Montana wig to add to her collection (she has Ariel hair too). Aunt Ya-Ya got her several Hannah Montana hair products (she always fixes Kara's hair so good) and two halter dresses :a lovely dark pink and a terry dark pink . Aunt Dion and Uncle Nick got her the party decorations (I might leave the vinyl clings on permanently) and plates, nail polish, 4 beautiful princess' ornaments, flash cards the cutest princess lunchbox for storing her stuff, and some Dora rings. Uncle Sammy got her T-shirts and Hannah Montana lip gloss. Granny and Granddaddy got her a stuffed horse with its pony and a growth chart. They also sent her $$. Aunt Steph and Uncle Jeremy and Brooke sent a gift certificate to Target. Aunt Angela and Uncle Tom, Seth and Tate, sent her $$. Angeli got her a Write a Bear that you can use markers to design the stuffed bear. Laura got her a design your own ballet set which looks so fun. Kyra got her a sticker art studio which big brothers played and played with. She had to remind them it is hers! Madison, our neighbor, got her a My Little Pet Shop set and a fairy princess. Rachelle and Samantha got her a character building DVD video (thanks Cindy I wanted to get the kids that!), and a Prince Caspian book. Daddy will enjoy reading that to her because he is a C.S. Lewis fan. Thanks Albert for your great photography! Thank yous to everyone who made her day special!!
