For Her Birthday, She Dressed Like A Princess And Battled 70 People

October 2, 2025

Most kids want cake, balloons, and presents for their birthday. But one 4-year-old girl in Grand Rapids wanted something a little more epic — a sword fight.

Her dad, Steve Zaagman, shared that for her big day she didn’t just spar with a few friends. Instead, dressed in her princess gown, she took on more than 70 willing opponents in a playful “battle” to celebrate turning four.

 

Thanks to everyone that came out for a 1 v 70 sword fight against a very eager birthday girl.
