By Royal Proclamation

Hear ye, hear ye!

I can hardly believe that my baby girl turned 7 last week. We thought we'd enjoy the chance to celebrate in high style while we have the room, so we threw a "royal ball" and invited guests to come dressed in their majestic best. What an awesome day it turned out to be. Lots of wonderful family and friends attended and the little princess just had a royally good time, surrounded my most of her favorite people! Here are some shots I captured and was able to upload this week:

The Princess Herself

The Royal Family

Heir to the Throne

Fairy Godmothers

Men in Capes

Ladies in Red

Sunny & Cory

Tie dye all across the land

The Royal Paige and her Pot of Potatoes

The Belles of the Ball

It's Good to Be King (of the barbeque)

So Sweet

Wheeeeeeeee!

That's all for now...

My camera went missing before the wrapping paper started flying, and all those photos are on my phone, still waiting to be downloaded. She made out like a real princess, spoiled with everything a little princess could ever wish for, including her very own chariot (courtesy of Grandpa George and Jack), a Princess-adorned battery-operated FJ cruiser.

Obviously not Kenna, but the stock photo will have to do.  She and Caleb ride ALL over the ranch in this thing, going about their business, and I'm pretty impressed with how well it handles the hills and rocky pathways around here.  She's lucky it's hot pink, or Daddy might turn it into a utility vehicle for ranch chores!  :)  She also has her days (and hands) full with the Easy Bake Oven, Paper-roni, Littlest Pet Shop, dress-up clothes, stick-on tattoos, makeup, and more.  She scored enough cash and gift cards to clear out the toy department at Walmart, most of which has gone to acquiring the entire cast of Toy Story for her collection.  She was so grateful for the gifts, but mostly excited for the awesome day she had, complete with a sleepover with friends.  I'm glad she enjoyed it so much, 'cuz there goes her sweet 16! ;)
