A Princess Ball

Our city parks hosted a Daddy Daughter Princess Ball last weekend and knowing how Adelyn loves princess (and her dad of course), we got tickets.  Adelyn was VERY excited the days leading up to it and the night before asked Aaron what he was going to wear because she didn't think he had any "prince clothes."


So they headed off the morning of the dance to find Aaron a tie that would match her dress and got some flowers for the both of them to make it official. 


They had girls dressed up as the princesses, interact with the girls, and sing a song from their movie.  You can see that they were quite the hit...Aaron said the little girls tried to copy everything they did and be as close to them as possible while they were out.  Yes I'm thinking a trip to Disneyland lies in our future.

 

Aaron said Adelyn was pretty shy at first and didn't want to get out and dance until Moves Like Jagger came on and she couldn't hold it in...so much that someone from the local paper took their picture and put it in last Sunday's edition!!


 I can't tell you how many times Aaron has looked at the picture from the paper and the ones that he took himself from the dance...pretty sure Adelyn wasn't the only one that had a great time!


In case you're wondering what's up with Barett...here he is showing off his own musical abilities.  We were making lame rap/songs up at dinner to encourage Adelyn to eat her food (our nightly torture), and Barett started "singing" along.
