A Birthday for a Princess

We usually try to have a Memorial Day BBQ every year and this year we figured, "why not combine it with M's birthday since we'd only be inviting the same people anyway?" It seemed like a good idea at the time...Actually, it was a lot of fun, the weather cooperated and the kids even went swimming in the river for the first time this year. If only we hadn't tried to poison off our guests with a bout of strep throat, poison ivy and a tick! I wonder if anyone will attend next year's party...M has not put down her Ariel doll since yesterday. I think at the age of 3, she will remember this birthday and all her princess friends who attended.
