Princess Festival

When we got to Utah, a friend of mine invited Morgan and I to attend the Princess Festival with her and her little girl. We jumped at the chance and I registered Morgan for Friday, which worked perfectly because Matt wanted to take the boys to Cabbella's and The Dinosaur Museum. Daddy took us shopping and we found this cute little Rapunzel dress/pj's and some slippers and a little flower wreath for her hair.

Everywhere we looked there were prince's and princess's dressed up, and things for the girls to do.

Since it was set in the Garden at Thanksgiving Point, Morgan managed to get in some play time at the Noah's Ark water area.

It was a hot, sunny day, so we played around quite a bit.

Every princess was so willing to sign the girls books, and pose for pictures. It was like being at Disneyland. Here she is with Prince Charming, Cinderella, Fairy Godmother, Wicked Stepmother, and the bottom center picture is Morgan at the ball, watching the Prince dance with Cinderella.

Then we met the Princess and the Pea, the 12 Dancing Princesses, and Bell and the Beast. We also learned about the different charities we were helping out with our registration fee, and participated in several service stations like making little butterfly hair bows for unfortunate little girls, tying quilts for babies, and writing letters to the soldiers abroad.

Of course Morgan's favorite was Rapunzel. But we also met Ariel, the Frog Princess, Snow White, and her Prince Charming. Also there was Miss Provo, in the bottom left corner. The girls were very excited to meat the beauty queens there.

Here's our group of moms and Princesses. Holly and her little girl Aria on the left. And Stephanie and Alivia on the right. Thanks ladies! It was a wonderful day!

Dancers Workshop Recital!

I can' t believe its been over a month since my last post. Morgan had her big Ballet Recital earlier this month, at the same time the boys were all gone on an office fishing trip. So it ended up being a girl's weekend. It started with Pictures on Tuesday.

Then Dress Rehearsal in Anchorage Thursday. It was a long day for the littler girls, starting at 3pm, and not getting done till almost 8pm. Morgan was exhausted.

As chaperones, we were in charge of our girls dressing room. Keeping them organized, looking cute, and entertaining them for 5 hours each night.

They were pretty good about entertaining themselves most of the time.

Opening night flowers from grandma and mom!

I chaperoned Saturday night all by myself, and these girls were in rare form!

After their amazing performance! They did so good.

Final Bow!

The next weekend was the dance companies end of the year BBQ. We played badminton, had hot dogs, hot air balloons, and Morgan got her face painted.
