A Fancy Festival Fit For A Princess!

Hear Ye...Hear Ye...Princess VivyAnn has officially turned 3 years old!
She was graceful and grateful on Saturday for an afternoon of fun with family and friends.



The Festival took place here at Widdowson Castle and all of the kingdom was in attendance. The Good King and Queen Wella and Wello graced us with their presence.  And the Evil Queen Mommy also infiltrated the scene.  [So maybe my character choice was not exactly flattering, but every good "Fancy Festival" needs an Evil Queen right?] 

We had a delicious feast of "Fancy Junk Food" and bubbly pink Magic Potion to drink.  The Royal Court put on a delightful puppet show that was a hit amongst the commoners and real treat for the Royal Princess.  Next the entire kingdom hunted for the magical unicorn that was the keeper of many tasty delicacies for all to enjoy.  Thank you to the STRONG Daddies who helped relieve the magical beast from it's tasty burden.

Next the Royal Choir sang not only once, but TWICE a beautiful rendition of "Happy Birthday" to the princess.  This really was her high point of the afternoon.  All morning long she followed me around asking if it was time to sing "Happy Birthday to You".  It was the moment she had been waiting for.

And finally, the Princess was adorned with a spectacular pile of beautifully wrapped packages! She tore furiously through the packages looking for toys, but unfortunately the Evil Queen had previously told all of the kind gift bearers that the princess didn't need anymore toys!  The Evil Queen felt very bad about this.  Nevertheless, the princess was spoiled with a wonderful assortment of gifts.  
A special thank you to all of the well wishers who came to show their love for our little princess VivyAnn. What a memorable afternoon for all of us here at Widdowson Castle!  It would not have been as wonderful as it was without all of her friends and family!!  (Please check out the above slideshow to see all of the fun pictures.)

Vivi, Vivi, Vivi.... we love you! The party was so much fun! Thanks for letting us be apart of it. The pictures are so cute and Vivi looked just like a princess! I am so glad you have girls so I can get my "girly" fix without actually having to have any!
