Happy Birthday Michelle

Last month we celebrated Michelle's birthday, and since it is almost Ben's birthday I thought I better put up pictures from her party.  We had a princess party with two of her friends.  We were going to do a more generic knights/princesses but the boy she invited couldn't come so we went all girly.  She loved it of course.  Here is a shot of the princesses being flown around with Ben along for the ride. 

We had all the girls put on princess dresses and then headed out for the obstacle course.  Jump over the barrel:
 

joust the dragon (Hannah helping here)
 

and then they threw beanbags at a tower of boxes to knock down the castle walls and rescue a pony.  Then we headed back inside to decorate wands.  These were dowels wrapped with ribbon and foam stars glued around.  They added stickers, jewels, etc.
 

We also searched for jewels.  They enjoyed this because there were a ton of jewels in there and to add to the difficulty we had them where fancy gloves.
 

Here are the princesses with their wands and bag of goodies (pony, jewels and stickers).
All in all, a good time was had by all.  We love our Michelle!  She is such a cutie.  She's a very determined little girl and very smart (sometimes, not such a good combination).  Happy Birthday Michelle!
