This weekend my cousin Pearl turned ten years old. She's a major history buff, and this spring she's delved deep into the world of the Romanov Family. She knows everything there is to know, and decided her party theme would be 1910s themed, with her family of four girls dressed as various members of the Romanovs.
She chose Anastasia, complete with sash and tiara, and my brother sported robes and creeped around as Rasputin. We set up a picnic at a local park and had traditional Russian treats and even played a trivia game.
This is the cutest thing I've ever seen!! I had the exact same interest when I was her age-- it started when I read Angel on the Square by Gloria Whelan, you should definitely recommend it to her :) It's so cool to see kids interested in history, and all the costumes are AMAZING!!
That is the cutest thing ever. Your cousin sounds like such an intelligent and exciting young lady! I have always loved this time period and this party is delightful! :D
I have longed to have a party like this (fashion wise)ever since reading Anne of Green Gables when her and her friends go on a "golden picnic". What a smart girl!
what a neat chick! To be into history and learning at such a young age is rare. Most kids want iphones, ipads, or to be on the Internet all day. Happy birthday Pearl.
I was equally enthralled with history at her age (and even now!). What a creative birthday party! Can I assume you helped put together a lot of the costumes? Or is your family just the most bad ass ever?... Or both ;)
Oh my goodness, that is the coolest idea for a party ever! I love that your brother was Rasputin - he looks a lot like him in that costume! It looks like you had a great time! Happy Birthday, Pearl!

Wow, you guys go all out for a party! Very unusual theme for a little girl to choose. I sense a budding historical novelist coming about. Gorgeous costumes!
Fantastically lovely birthday celebration! I was nothing short of obsessed with the Romanouv family as a child, too (in no small part because I have a bit of Russian blood in my veins). I so adore that your dear cousin opted to celebrate these famous Russian royals for her special day.

What a wonderful birthday party theme - and how exciting that a mini history buff came up with it?
You all look splendid (loving the dresses) but I think dedication to character must go to the mad monk!

What a fantastic idea for a party - I love seeing children embrace history and knowledge whilst finding it fun. It's what learning should be like!
You look so classically beautiful in those pictures - you're hat is particularly amazing!

Wow! Your niece sounds like such a cool ten year old.
That looks like such a beautiful day. So much prettier than a Justin Beiber themed party that I imagine most ten year old girls wanting.
I think you have what must be the coolest family ever!!
This is so adorable! What a loving family.

Happy birthday to your smart-cookie cousin! ...Beautiful photos as always.
