Cinderella is NOT the Only Princess

This past weekend the girls and I joined Grandma Sue for a production of Cinderella at Eagan High School.

We always love plays and shows, however this one was very extra special as they invited girls to dress as a princess!!  Can you imagine the excitement?!?

After much deliberation the girls decided that they would like to wear the beautiful gowns that Aunt Shari had made for them to wear as flower girls last summer in Jeremy's wedding.  They also made it very clear to me that they expected to wear lipstick, because of course all good princesses wear lipstick.

Here are the girls all dolled up, fancy hair and lipstick complete:


And here are the girls with Grandma Sue:


As you can see, Grandma made their day by making them true princesses and crowning them each with a tiara. 

We had a fancy lunch at Perkins, where the girls were bombarded by compliments of their beauty.  This was enjoyed very much by both of them, and made mom and Grandma both very proud!

We then headed to the play - which started with the girls being registered as Princesses and being whisked away for the Princess Parade.  The crew members of the play started the show by announcing each girls name as they walked across the stage (with a glittery take-home septor in hand of course!) and then the LARGE group of Princesses all took a curtsey and exited the stage to watch the play from their seats.

Here is a photo of all the Princesses on stage (my apologies for the poor quality).  Tehya is the one with her hand up waving:


What a fun day -- thank you Grandma Sue!!!

Present Time!


"Gramma" Jean bought each of the girls a pretty new Easter dress.
What a great way to start a weekend!

Sunday

Pretty Ada





Ada recently discovered the bead necklaces in the dress up box and she loves them! She insists on putting them all on at once and she says "Pitty!" We all agree that she is pretty!

Monday

Pretty New Christmas Dresses






Aunt MaryJean always buys the most beautiful dresses - and this year is no different! Tehya and Ada both look like Christmas angels if you ask me!

Tehya the Dancer




Grandma Sue found a bunch of my old dance recital costumes packed away in one of her closets...and lucky for Tehya a few of them just happen to fit her perfectly!
Miss Tehya has also officially started dance class this month - she goes once a week for a ballet and tap lesson with a class of six other 4 and 5 year old girls. So far she seems to absolutely love it... Hopefully it will keep her interest long enough to make it to the recital in May!

Friday

Princess Tehya

After dinner last night Tehya informed me that she didn't want to be called Tehya anymore - "that's boring mom" I was told. When I asked her what I should call her instead (yes, I know, big mistake on my part) She said "My new name is Princess Tehya. You and Daddy can only talk to me when my crown is on. Thank you for understanding."

Oh my do we have a diva in training!
