A Garden Party

The day was filled with anticipation.  The weather was perfect for a Garden Party at The Princess Ladybug Palace.  So tiny Princess Ladybug, stood at the front door to welcome her friends and invite them in from the cold for some flower nectar and green leaves to climb upon.

The Tiny Princess was very excited about her party, and so, she waited and made sure everything was neat and orderly!

She knew that these round puffy things would make for some fun and soft landings.


She made sure there were  tieras too for her Ladybug friends! 

She was a stickler for details and made sure there were enough flowers for any shy ladybugs to hide behind or perhaps play with. What Ladybug doesn't like a pretty flower to sit upon. There were also random petals strewn about so if any were to loose their way, all they had to do was follow the petals home! Princess Ladybug was so happy, everything was in order!  

OH MY, she exclaimed, I hear the Ladybugs arriving!  So she hustled to the front door and saw beautiful little Ladybugs arriving, each smiling, greeting her with a soft hello!  Princess Ladybug was very happy and couldn't wait to show them her special surprise, but she waited till all the precious Ladybugs were safely here.

The Palace was a buzz with sweetness.  Here are Ladybugs Sydney, Jade and Hayley, gathering closely as ladybugs often do.



How happy Princess Ladybug was, seeing her friends dancing and laughing, even stopping to pose for pictures!

So Princess Ladybug decided it was time to share her BIG SURPRISE!

HERE'S THE SURPRISE, THE BEST DIRT ON EARTH WAS HERE!  YEP FULL OF WORMS, SPIDERS AND OTHER LUSCIOUS, EDIBLES...WHAT A SURPRISE TO ALL HER LADYBUG FRIENDS!  
AND STILL MORE, FLOWERS AND LOT'S OF YUMMY, TASTY FLOWERS!  THIS GARDEN PARTY WAS MORE THAN A PRINCESS LADYBUG  COULD HAVE EVER DREAMED OF!  

(The dirt was delicious, email me for a recipe)

The festivities continued and Princess Ladybug was just in awe of her new twirly dress, the music, the dancing and the fact that she could have anything she wanted to eat this day!  She jumped, twirled and ran through the Palace with laughter.  In fact the entire Palace was full of little Ladybug giggles and laughter (the result of too much sugar).  However, there was still the issue of a flowered, cake that needed some attention.  So all the Ladybugs and their escorts gathered around the table for a new song that the Princess has heard earlier that week.  Everybody started singing Happy Birthday and she stood up and clapped her hands too.  Momma Ladybug made sure the Princess didn't try to step on the cake as it really looked like real flowers.  All in all the cake was cut, the cupcakes eaten and then on to more fun with play.  

NOW THIS IS A CAKE (we made sure it didn't go upside down into some bag, like the first one, these pastry chefs knew that special Ladybugs were depending on this cake)!

Happy Birthday Kira!  May your life be full of love, happiness and good health!   You will always be my sweet, darling button nose, Princess Ladybug, who has already made me the happiest Momma in the world!
