I just can't believe the princess is FOUR!!! What a great birthday celebration we had- with presents throughout the day and a Posh Princess Pedicure party! The girls got to soak their feet with a massage and lotion then the moms topped them off with some pretty sparkley polish and fuzzy flip-flops to fit the theme.

And who would have thought we'd have Thanksgiving here less than a week later?! What fun the kids had with our Thankful Tree and making turkeys too. We had a Thanksgiving Mad Lib story just for fun and some trivia I thought I'd share too. Good luck and enjoy!
