Beauty and the Beast - 114/365

Today we were heading up to Cleveland to see Beauty and the Beast! It was only in Cleveland for the weekend, so we were happy to go!

Reagan was pretty excited and wanted her "Belle Hair" again! It was so cute! She got all decked out in her dress and was ready to go.

Once the show started she sat perfectly still and was just mesmerized by the whole thing.

They did a fantastic job with the show and all the actors were great. Our two favorites were Lumiere and Gaston. They were amazing!

At intermission we peeked over the edge so Reagan could see the orchestra. She was fascinated and we had to stop again at the end to check them out!

It was a great day!

Our little Belle

Mr. Fuzzy even had to come!

Pumped!

Our little family.

 

Princess Brunch, Animal Baby Shower - 102/365

This morning, we were heading out to Drakes Landing for a Princess Brunch!

Papa, Nana and MJ were all meeting us for the brunch, too!

Reagan decided she wanted to wear Anna's Frozen Fever gown. She looked so adorable! I even did her hair in little braids!

When we got there, we found our table and got settled in. They started with a little meet and greet with Ariel, Cinderella, Belle and Snow White. Reagan was so excited!

After, we headed over to the buffet. They had eggs, French toast, potatoes, bacon, sausage, and fruit! YUM!

Finally it was time for the program. They did some dancing, Q&A, and some more dancing. Reagan made friends with a little Merida that was sitting at our table. They had a great time! Even holding hands through most of it!

After the brunch was over, we headed over to the experimental farm for the Baby Animal Shower. It was pretty crowded, but we still got to see everything. Reagan especially loved the kangaroo! She sat by him for the longest time! It was so sweet! There was a little TINY white goat that took a liking to Reagan as well. He ran right over to her and let her pet him for the longest time. So sweet!

This evening, we just took a walk around the neighborhood an Reagan spent some time on her bike! It was a nice family fun day!

Princesses on Parade & YSU - 66/365

Today we were doing Princesses on Parade at the Dutch Haus Village Inn. It was a really fun event.

Reagan dcided she wanted to go as Belle. I was happy, because we have photographed her in her other nice dresses, so this would give us some new pictures.

We wanted to give her some authentic Belle hair, so Reagan and I watched a YouTube video on how to do it. It was relatively easy and really came out fantastic. I was so proud of myself! LOL! She looked amazing!

Nana, Reagan and I headed down right at 2, to get registered. It was so darling how they had everything set up. They had chair covers with blue ties, glass slipper and flowers for centerpieces. The runway was amazing! It was decorated with lots of tulle and twinkle lights. Reagan was in awe of everything.

Next, we went over and got her make-up done. They had a couple makeup artists from Mary Kay there to do the girls makeup. They did it nice and soft. It looked perfect on them.

After, they had a professional photographer with a beautiful backdrop take pictures of all the princesses.

Finally, everyone was settled at their tables and the program started. Cinderella, Belle and the Royal King all stood up and said a little something, then the princess parade began.

Reagan was acutally number one! It was too cute! She was the first one to hit the runway. It was probably for the best, so she didn't have time to get nervous. She walked right up and down the runway. You could tell she was shy. When she got to the end where they take pictures, her eyes were a little watery, but she was holding it together. She turned around and headed back to the stairs to get down. When she got down the stairs and back over to me, she burst into tears for a minute. It was adorable and pitiful all at the same time. She said she was a little bit scared with everyone looking at her. After she settled down a little bit, she loved watching all the other princesses parade down the runway.

At the end, they had a yummy dinner of turkey breast, mashed potatoes, corn, green beans, ham and bread. It was delicious!

After we ate, all the girls had a fun time parading up and down the runway again. They went up an down and up and down about 100 times! It was a hoot!

Jim and Papa came a little bit late to the Parade. Papa made it for the runway walk, and Jim made it for the dinner.

Jimmy already had plans with Greg and Frank to check out the YSU woman's basketball game. They had a nice lunch at O'Donald's first before taking in the game.

The game itself was a blowout with a score of 80-57 over Valparaiso. With that win the girls earned a first round home game in the playoffs! Go Guins!

They guys were stoked because they saw Jim Tressel at the game. They also got a picture with Pete the Penquin. They had a fun time!

This evening we just hung around and watched TV. Reagan was exhausted from her princess filled day!

Line Leader Day - 336/365

Today was Reagan's second line leader day at school! She was so excited to go!

She brought her Belle and Elsa doll for show and tell. The book she picked out was her new Snowmen at Christmas book. She gets so excited to be the line leader. They get to be first at the class activities and get a special sticker to wear.
We always give Reagan's iPod touch to Mrs. Scanlon on Line Leader day so we can have a few pictures of Reagan talking to the class. They are so great about it and we just treasure the pictures. It gives us a little sneak peek into her school world. 

After school, her and Alivia wanted to get their picture taken with the new Christmas project wall in the atrium. They just love seeing all their projects on display!

She had a great day!

Princess Brunch - 47/365

Today, we were having a family fun brunch at Tippy with the Princesses! 

Tippy hired, Belle, Snow White, Rapunzel and Cinderella to come and host a brunch for all the little princesses! 

Pam, Ed, Ray, Jenny, Nana, Papa, Jim, Reagan and I all met over there around 11:00. They had it set up beautifully, with pink tablecloths and magic wands and flowers for centerpieces. 

The buffet was fabulous! They had eggs, bacon, pink pancakes, hashbrowns pasta, buns, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches cut into crowns and hearts. It was great! The hit of the lunch, was this amazing pink punch they had. We kept going and filling up our glasses! YUM! 

All the girls had a meet and greet with all four princess and get their picture taken. Reagan was so into it! After that, each girl got to get crowned a princess and walk the runway. Reagan walked right up on stage and got crowned. It was adorable! After her crowning, Belle escorted her down the catwalk and Reagan gave a sassy princess wave. We about died!! LOL! 

Next, they had story time, where some of the kids got to act out characters from the stories the princesses told. They seemed to really like that! 

To close out the brunch, they had a little dance party. This was a hit! They had a ball, especially doing the Hokey Pokey. 

It was such a fun event. Reagan did not want to leave! It was a great day! 

This evening, the princess fun continued with Reagan hosting a Frozen dance party in her Elsa gown.

Finally, an Elsa dance party!
