Princess Breakfast

Leila is well-rounded. She can be the girliest of girls at moments and then turn right around and pull out her Hot Wheels. I LOVE this about her! She dances around the house in her tutu and crown during the day and then informs us each night that she is gonna be a hockey player when she grows up...a goalie no less. This weekend we took Leila to a princess breakfast in Bonney Lake and boy was she thrilled to pull out ALL her girly-girl gowns, jewelry and tiaras. No hockey sticks today! Of course, Leila chose her Cinderella gown to wear to the ball, as that is her favorite princess. We sat at Cinderella's table (they let you choose between four princesses). We had a great time!

We met up with Leila's second cousin, Chassidee. Auntie Lynn, Gramma and Papa were also there.

Princess Aurora and Miss Leila.

Visiting with Ariel.
"Mine favorite!"
Riley, Leila and Chassidee.
Leila ALMOST went over the back here!

Sleeping Beauty chose Leila out of all the little princesses there to be her dance partner. Oh my! The look on Leila's face was priceless....pure JOY!

Explaining the steps...

The funny part of this was watching the parents "dance" around with our cameras trying to get the perfect shot!
Singing the "Heart Song" (A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes) as L calls it. She has known this song since she was about a year and a half. There was a time when we sang it many times every night before bed. Special memories!
Each princess sang a few songs from her movie.
Gramma and the Cinderellas.
Daddy and the girls.

Posing with the princesses. I love that Leila is staring at Jasmine.

One more photo with Cinderella before leaving. On a side note, the young lady that is playing Cinderella here is a former drama student of Chris's. Luckily, Leila thought she was the real deal!

Randomness

In looking over our photos, I realized there are several single shots here and there that are pretty cute and probably should be posted. There is absolutely no rhyme or reason to this posting except to share the adorable Miss Deeda in all her wackiness. Enjoy!

Sporting her new Eskimo hood that she made at daycare. The kids are learning about the Arctic.

"What a feeling!" She costumed herself.
Quite the princess outfit...
We spent some time over Christmas vacation babysitting a few friends.

Tevyn and Leila sharing some books.
Different day: Kenzie and Leila make some silly princesses.

A new dress from one of Daddy's students. Didn't want to try it on, but once she did we couldn't get it off of her.

To Neverland!
