A Royal Occasion

This morning was the big party. Josie has been determined to have a princess birthday party, so 5 friends, 4 younger siblings, and 11 parents converged on the Chateau du Joe. It's hard having a princess party when most of your friends are boys. I tried to sell her on my idea for a service station attendant theme party, but Josie wouldn't hear of it. Maybe Jasper will redeem me. Amanda outdid herself I must say, with princess themed games, make your own crown crafts, gloves and tiaras for the (two) girls and homemade fur rimmed capes for the (four) boys (plus Jaspie), homemade wands and other favors, a giant cardboard castle with drawbridge, tower, windows, parapets, and a dungeon (OK, the engineer handled that) and although Josie wanted a princess cake like the store bought one with the Disney princesses printed on the top that she saw at the neighbor's kid's party, far be it from us to have a birthday without an over the top cake, so only a 3-D princess carrot cake with cream cheese dress and icing um, top half of dress, would do! Amanda's the one in the princess/bridesmaid's dress:

Jaspie want's to know who's in charge here, and where's his cake? Clockwise from Jasper we have Carter, Josie, Amelie, Sam's mom Celeste, Sam, and Wyatt. Don't know where Nico is:How do you put candles in a princess dress cake?

Later, Josie in the Tower:

Everyone wanted to camp out in the dungeon, but no one would go to sleep!
Even Dada and Kippy got in on the action:
