Princess Night

One of my very favorite aspects of my job is getting to watch development.
This can be within traditions, friendships and people.
In the case that I am thinking of today...

I have planned a "Princess Night" on my floor in each of the past three years.


These have been a fun combination of a relaxing social event and a spiritually uplifting one.
They always begin with a long gathering time of eating princess food (such as frog shaped cupcakes or chocolate covered strawberries), coloring pictures, listening to music, playing board games (Disney Princess Uno being the top pick), then a new Disney movie is played.
At the end of the night, my SLA (Spiritual Life Assistant) always finishes things off with a devotional time on the subject of being treasured by God.
One of the most exiting aspects of this event for me this year was the fact that I did not have to plan it. This is not to say that I do not love planning events (Because I do <3). What is more exciting is watching my residents plan them. This year I turned the whole thing over to some of the girls who had attended the event for the previous two years.

They did an awesome job! I am so proud!
