All that Kylee wanted for her 17th birthday was to have a Princess party with her friends. I really never thought I would be throwing my 17 year old a princess party...but whatever works!! She invited her 3 closest friends and told them to dress up like princesses. They were as excited as she was, with the exception of Shelby, who came dressed as Mulan! On the day of her birthday we went to the DI and she scored this lovely yellow Belle dress. Emilee told her it was "hairy" but Kylee loved it. She tried on many dresses in the dressing room and had the time of her life. How grateful I am that she is still fairly easy to please. She created the invitations herself...small princess castles. She made her own cinderella cake, with a lot of help from me! And she decorated the basement for her party. I thought it was pretty funny. Brinley thought she had died and gone to heaven. No wonder those two have a special bond...Kylee is a lot like a 5 year old!! I kept asking her what they were going to do at this party, and she told me she didn't need it all planned out and they would figure out what to do. She was right. They jumped on the tramp, swang on the swingset, took flying leaps off the wall outside, and played tetherball...all in their princess dresses. I know our neighbors were probably just laughing. They ate cake and ice cream and then settled in the basement to watch "Tangled". Of course...what was I worried about. She had it all under control.
Jumping off of the wall...in their dresses. Who knew what 17 year olds would find fun!! We did have a family party for her on the Sunday after her birthday. She had Grandma and Grandpa come and eat turkey steak...another dream come true!
We love you Kylee. I am glad you are so fun and can just be yourself. I am glad you have great freinds who can also have fun and not worry about what other people think. I hope you love princesses for the rest of your life! Your future daughters will think you are awesome.
HAPPY 17TH BIRTHDAY!!!
