When Belle arrived, Sophie peppered her with questions such as, "Did you ride on your father's horse?" "Where are the clock and the candlestick?". Luckily, Belle was no shrinking violet, and answered satisfactorily...the horse was at home taking a rest, and don't you remember, the candlestick and the clock turned back into real people. Good enough to quiet her for a few moments at least.
Face Painting was the big activity of the day. All the girls were in awe as Belle did her magic on their faces.
That's Anna K. (the birthday girl) in the blue having her face done. Makenna as Pochahontas, and Sophie look on.
Sophie's almost finished face. I have never seen her sit so still, maybe I need to whip out the face paints the next time I need her attention!After everyone had her face painted, Belle read them a story, during which my daughter interrupted several times to inquire about Belle's friends: "Do you know Cinderella, Belle? What about Ariel? Ariel is my favorite except for you Belle! Where is your prince, did you leave him at home?" Again, Belle was the model princess as she handled each interruption with grace and patience. She then joined in the singing of Happy Birthday, posed for one more group photo and then it was time for her to be off.
It was very sweet how each of them had to give her a hug. This age really is so magical. I fully realize that all too soon believing in princesses, dressing up and the other innocent exuberence about the little things will be gone. How simple life is right now!

Peg, If you notice, she was wearing a T shirt underneath it. It is still itchy, even at 5! Funny thing is, another girl had on the exact same dress, complete with T shirt as well.
