Sidney Kate's cousin, Grace, turned 5 recently and a group of little princesses gathered at her house to celebrate. The theme was PRINCESS, which fits so perfectly with this age. Sidney Kate took awhile to "warm up" even telling me she'd participate "after I warm up a little."
(facepalm)
So after warming up she determined she wanted a long dress (cheers from Daddy) and would be Snow White. She started playing alone, I guess another part of her "warming up" and ventured into Grace's room. My thought as I took this picture "That will be the only horse she ever rides." Not because I won't let her, because I don't forsee her ever overcoming her quirks of transitions and doing new things.
So off to the party we go...
The girls had the change to get hair and makeup done, which was a big hit! Sidney Kate, however, wanted none of that. This is the birthday girl getting all dolled up.
Toward the end of the party we were able to get all the girls together for a few shots.
Crowns, lemonade, cupcakes and more...
Grace's house has all sorts of animals, one being a horse named Macs. So after our group shot the horse came out to play. Here we are watching. She made sure I knew she wasn't going to ride that horse.
So we watched the other princesses ride. Kambreya was up first.
Then after a few more, Snow White turned to me and said, "I think I want to ride that horse." This is where I was questioning if she really would but inside I was so excited that she might try. I had the camera and handed my phone for another mom to video because I was sure she'd cry at the first step of the horse. BUT SHE DIDN'T!! She proved her mommy wrong and I was so very proud of her! She was brave! She rode for 2 laps, then let others ride THEN she asked to go again. What a day!

Poor Grace had to wait till the end to ride her own horse. But she waiting very well and look adorable riding in her princess dress!
