Princess Fun!

Last night Sara and I took our daughters to Disney's Princesses on Ice. We dressed the girls up in princess dresses and had a wonderful evening. The girls were so excited, they could hardly hold still. They loved guessing what princess would come out next. The show was awesome, but definitely didn't wear the girls out-they were still ready to party when we got back to Sara's house at almost 10pm. The girls stayed up and watched The 12 Dancing Princesses and ate popcorn. In the morning Maddie and Abby got to color their princess pictures with their princess crayons (thanks Brenda). And then we played Princess Memory. It was fun to have this mommy/daughter time. I was glad Andy was able to work his schedule out so he could have Garen!
Here's a few clips of some of the show-

As soon as we got back from Sara's house Andy and Maddie headed up to Beaver Mountain to try out skiing. This was Maddie's first time, and she loved it! They only did a few runs because it was later and it was snowing and blowing a bit. Andy said Maddie had a great time and was not afraid of going by herself even though she didn't know how to stop.

Andy told Maddie to stop there for a picture, and next thing he knew she was skiing down the mountain on her own. She said "look dad, I'm skiing." Andy tried to catch up and finally Maddie just kinda fell back to stop when she heard her dad yelling. She can't wait to go again!

USU Gymnastics

I took Maddie to a USU gymnastics meet last night. It was fun for her to see the girls on the beam and bars just like she does in her class. And she got the chance to see what she will someday learn how to do. She watched very intently and loved to cheer for the Aggies. But even more then the gymnasts she loved to which Big Blue the bull. He was dressed like a hippy and Maddie found him pretty humorous.
We had to leave the meet just a bit early so we could get back in time for Andy to go to his basketball game. His team won again and are now 3 for 3!

Enchanted

This afternoon me, Maddie, grandma Jann, and great grandma Margaret went to Enchanted. The movie was very funny and all of us loved it. It was fun to have the grandma's join us. Before the movie Maddie was upstairs in the bathroom for a long time. When she came out, she proudly showed me how well she did her hair. She was so happy with her hair that I let her wear it like that to the movies. I few people took a second look at her, but just smiled. After a group of young girls were looking at her, Maddie's Great Grandma said to her "when those girls get home tonight they are all going to do their hair like yours." It was an enjoyable time. We need to have family girls night out more often!
