Princess for a Day!

Today is Birthmother Day! With Kya's creativity, we decided to make our birthmother's "Princesses for the Day"
When I asked Kya, "what does a princess need to be a Princess"?...this is what she came up with...
1. A crown
2. A dress
3. A bracelet
4. A pedicure
5. Breakfast in Bed (I helped with that idea and hubby's are helping pull that one off...thanks)
6. A wand
So, we made Princess Packets for birthmothers.
Here are the kids wearing their "attire" before sending the packages off to Birthmoms.
Zander had a lot of fun coloring (and even more fun wearing) Tess's crown

And then of course Kya designed Jerica's dress...its a "ballerina" dress. (and this is how you wear it, Jerica, in case you were wondering).

HAPPY BIRTHMOTHER DAY!

Enjoy being a "Princess for a Day"

Once again, you did it!! Not only did you make Tess feel like a princess, Bailey was very worried about how Tess would feel on Mother's Day and was asking if she would get a Mother's Day card from Zander. BUT OF COURSE, you go way beyond to bring love and joy to others!! Thank you for being so wonderful!! xoxox
