This was the look we were waiting for! Let me explain.... Our dearest
Auntijen sent me an email letting me know she could get tickets for the
Disney Princesses on Ice show that was coming to our area. Did we want to go? Wouldn't Catelyn just LOVE to see real live princesses?! My answer: ABSOLUTELY! :) We're in! So Jen orders the tickets and the date was set. We didn't tell Catelyn ahead of time because we wanted it to be a surprise. Hind sight being what it is though, we probably should have told her. She was a bit overwhelmed when we first got there: kids and kids and more kids, long lines, kids, endless shelves of souvenirs lining the halls..... Did I mention there were a lot of kids there? It was certainly a lot to take in! I think if we had told her ahead of time, she would have been better prepared and probably would have even wanted to wear the princess dress that I had packed for her. Ah well. "If we knew then what we know now!"
So we survived the lines of excited kids and their families and made it to our seats, with the kids holding the souvenir that they got to pick out. Catelyn chose an Ariel (Little Mermaid) "wand" that played music and lit up. Caleb chose a Flounder (again, Little Mermaid) cup with the makings of a sno-cone inside.
The show was FANTASTIC and much enjoyed, even by the adults! Catelyn's favorite was the
Aladdin part of the show and she has been eating, sleeping, and breathing Jasmine ever since! Mickey and Minnie Mouse came out between the different parts of the show and that was by far Caleb's favorite. He sure does love Mickey! The kids were mesmerized and sat through the entire hour and a half production. It was a wonderful way to spend a Sunday afternoon, and make some new memories for our family.
THANK YOU, Auntijen, from the bottom of our hearts. The love you have for our family is truly felt and you constantly remind us of that. You are a blessing in our lives and we are so lucky to have you as "Aunti"! We love you!

I thought the Little Mermaid section was particularly well done, and of course I liked Belle from Beauty and the Beast!
I'm super-glad that after all of the scheduling drama that we were able to go! It was awesome to watch both kids so absorbed in the show, with their eyes all lit up!
Thanks for allowing me to be a part of your family! xox
LOVE YOU!
