This past Friday the girls and I, and grandma, went to a princess party. Cinderella's Magical Ball was put on by Once Upon Star--through the local parks and recreation department.
I decided to join the girls by dressing the part. I expected to be (and was) the only adult who dressed up. That is, other than the woman getting paid. Joann was able to borrow this particular princess dress from a coworker. It was NOT flattering. I thought princess dresses would be more flattering. Thanks to McKenna for taking this photo.
Meet Cinderella...
The party started off with some music and instruments.and then some felt stories. The girls were able to participate by guessing when their particular picture needed to be put on the board. Ella clung to me for the first 15 minutes. She likes to take in her surroundings before participating. But, eventually she joined in with the group.
This is Ella--taking in her surroundings first.
Cinderella, shaking her sparkle shaker on her toes (with the girls mimicking her).
Creating a glass slipper with sparkles. All princesses like things to sparkle.
There was face painting and posture practice. Just kidding, it was a game where you balanced a bean bag on your head, shoulder, back, etc...

I give you major kudos for dressing up for this, Jessica. What a fun day with the girls and they will probably always remember that you dressed up too. You inspire me to actually dress up with the kids for Halloween this year.
Wow. You're a good mom!
Thats a snow white dress you have on I think.
Yes, Snow White dress and head band. The woman putting on the thing was Cinderella.
I have to say you as snow white looked more natural and better than that sun tanned Cinderella . . . . . .
My "precious" always looks like a princess (said as I gaze at the photo of you in Hello Dolly - I remember, as the curtain pulled back and revealed your beauty, I began to cry and yelled, "That's my precious granddaughter!"
You are building memories that will last long beyond your lifetime. Good job, My Sweet! __Nana Z
