hear ye: princess Annikah turned 3 & it was all about the pink!!

The pink princess party was last week but due to 2 of our computers being completely toasted in one week I have been unable to post pictures (as an aside technology breaking is particularly irritating and annoying when one lives in a place that it is not so easy to replace said busted item and one needs said item for work and communication with one's family...sigh...). Back to the party...It was a fun and low key small-ish party which I am sure will vary greatly from the party we will throw for our neighbors and friends after Ramadan! Anni dressed up in her princess gown complete with crown and wand, we had sweets, ton of decor (thanks Bibi), presents, crown and royal bracelet making, a princess dancing parade, and we were joined by some friends here to celebrate Anni's big day. Here is a taste of Princess Annikah's Pink Party.....
