The princess adored the treasure box KC made her, the craft kit Rob got her and the Tinkerbelle stuff that Chet got her (and that KC covets LOL) She also got the sweetest pink holiday dress from Nana. She is going to wear that a lot. I don't believe in saving pretty things for special occasions. Kids tend to grow out of them before they get a chance to really enjoy them. So she will wear it on regular days and some special ones too.
The cake came out amazingly well. It had the 3 princesses on the top and the spun sugar snow flakes and the jewels all along the sides. The fact that you could eat the snowflakes and the gems was a source of great marvel and amazement.
There were only a small amount of tears after the party. We have a rule that the first day someone has a new toy they can use it just themselves for as long as they want. After that, sharing is required if it is an age appropriate toy for the other party. Thus when Lissa was not asked to share Tinkerbelle and her fairy cottage with KC he was very sad. It was one of those sort of funny moments but I felt bad for him as well because he felt he had done so much to make Lissa's day special and she would not let him near Tink (and he had really been amazing from making her bed for her, to decorating he was all about it being her day--till Tinkerbelle came on the scene!). He cuddled a bit, and I had him choose a music CD to play in the kitchen boom box and then he got to add some decorations to the Yule tree in the mural. That was so much fun for him that good humor was restored for all.
I still can't wrap my mind around the fact that Lissa is 4 though!
