Princess brunch!

far fewer princesses, FAR better experience.

lily takes handing out balloons very seriously.

with fewer princesses lily had time to get her hair and makeup done, play in the cardboard castle, even got to eat food! (this has not all been the case in the past, unfortunately)

our little charlie enjoyed princess brunch and got a nice break while rah rah took him for a nap mid-day (THANK YOU rah rah!)

sweet prince charlie!

Thanks for thinking of our little guy and sending him a costume so he didn't feel left out, Grammie Betty!

in celebration of our Nainie, who passed away at the end of October (and who LOVED princess brunch, and was so looking forward to seeing all the dear princesses) we let our balloons float up, up, up after one of the readings. fun!

can i just tell you how happy i am that my little girl loves being fancy? because i love it, a lot.

You may not know this, but a little PRINCESS turned five! today.

(Birthday Princess! Click this pic and make it bigger. Could she get any prettier? Look at that sweet face!)

Liliana is FIVE!!!

I cant believe my darling baby is a kid! A big kid!

We woke her singing happy birthday and carrying a candle laden tray of cupcakes. Then we hung out and opened gifts and waited for my phone to ring with a call from Princess Ariel to wish lily a happy birthday. This kind of blew lilys mind a little. The rest of the day was up to Lily, her birthday wish was an afternoon out with mom and dad (read: no brother please) so we had our nanny come hang out with charlie and we took lily to lunch. She requested we "try something new" so we took her to a sushi place to try some types of sushi. Then we took her to the movies. She decided to wear her Rapunzel dress all day. Now she's at the restaurant because "its Liliana's birthday and Liliana's' birthday, so I should be there. For just a little while. Customers will want to see me." Totally the cutest kid ever.
