Our Princess Gianna is Turning 4!

Tomorrow our little girl Gianna will be turning four years old.  This weekend we celebrated by having a Knights & Princesses Birthday pizza party at Lorenzo's Pizzeria.  It was a lot of fun!  We called all of the "Knights & Princesses of the Land" to our  "royal celebration" full with pizza, cupcakes, ice cream, knight's sword fights (the little boys were sword fighting in the background) & a little coloring fun!

 The princesses & knights had a lot of fun & the moms & dads did too!   It was nice to see all of our hardwork to pull everything together payoff. Honeycombs Cookies Company was nice enough to make a special fondant crown to go on top of Gianna's homemade 4th birthday cake.  Thanks Jill!  The party credits are as follows:
