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!

Skiing

Thanks to 2 wonderful babysiters (Brenda and Jann), Andy and I were able to go skiing yesterday. And thanks to Sports Authority for the free ski rentals and free Beaver Mt. passes!

Both of us have been snowboarding since Jr. High, so skiing was kinda new. Andy caught on much quicker then I did, of course. But we had a great time. We wanted to try out skiing so Andy could practice a bit before taking Maddie.
It was a beautiful day-we have the sunburns to prove it! :l
