The Princess and the Frosting (a Modern Fairy Tale Birthday)

Once upon a time in a faraway land called Portland, there lived a beautiful little Princess named Addie. As her first birthday approached, her amazing mother, Queen Tanya, decided a celebration was in order. So e-vites were sent to the far corners of the kingdom, and people traveled from near and far the help the princess celebrate the miracle of her birth!

Queen Tanya is very wise, and decided that Princess Addie should have special memories of this day when she was older, so she created a time capsule for all the subjects to fill with memories of 2008, the first year the Princess ruled her kingdom. When Auntie Meg arrived from CA, she wrapped the time capsule in Mickey Mouse paper, since Princess Addie loves Mickey!



When they day of the party arrived, the King and Queen posed regally with their Princess. Everyone was awestruck at what a beautiful and perfect family they made!



Then the King presented Princess Addison with a specially baked birthday cake. Before she could dig in, everyone sang to her...



Then it was time to eat, and eat she did!! And she smeared icing all over her face and hands, to the joy of her subjects looking on! But the Princess did not care if she was covered in icing. "It's my birthday, and my kingdom, so I make the rules," she thought to herself.



And not only did she get cake, the Princess got presents! Piles of beautifully wrapped boxes and bags! So many, in fact, that Princess Addie was a little overwhelmed by all of it. "Have my servants guard my treasures, and I will open them tomorrow," she decreed. "This Princess needs a nap!"



The next morning, the presents were opened, and Princess Addison reveled in the love and admiration of all the friends and family that stayed overnight in the castle as guests of the King and Queen. And Princess even had one last smile for her favorite Auntie Meg, who gave her a pink teddy bear backpack as a gift. The Princess knew she would be walking soon, and needed something to carry her tiara, of course!



And the Princess lived happily every after!
