Princess Party

It's not a secret that one of Dakota's very favorite people in the world is their babysitter, Brittany. Brittany just finished her first year of college, so they haven't seen each other as much, but every time they get together, they pick up right where they left off. Last summer, Brittany won a local pageant and was crowned, Miss Marigold of Pekin. One thing Brittany decided to do as Miss Marigold was host a Princess Party for girls ages 3-12. She sent invitations to churches, schools and had advertisements all over town. I don't remember the final count from that day, but there were hundreds of little girls who came that day to be treated like a princess. Brittany encouraged the girls to dress up and she had activities set up to make the girls feel like a princess for the day. It was a really cool experience and just last night a little girl came to our church for the first time and said she came because she remembered having so much fun at the Princess Party with Miss Marigold.

Princess Dakota



There was a cupcake decorating stations, of course!




Dakota felt so much like a princess that day, that she came home and immediately got dressed up in a princess costume. She also found "her" red lipstick from Halloween.


Her babysitter that night tried her best to scrub that red lipstick, but when I got home, this is how I found her:
