As part of Noelle's birthday celebration--her birthday is on the 7th--we decided to go to see Disney's Princesses on Ice with our neighbors, the Goodsons, whose daughter shares the same birthday as Noelle (and passion for princesses, too).
The morning of the show (probably about 6:30 AM), all the girls in the family were singing Disney songs to set the mood. It annoyed Lincoln so much that he prayed at breakfast that "everyone would stop singing princess songs". Immediately I decided it was a good time to teach him sometimes your prayers don't get answered just the way you want them to:
Here we are at the stadium, waiting for the show to begin. (Also, most of these pictures were taken by my friend Heidi because her camera is awesome and mine is not. But she ran out of batteries before the show ended. Bet you'll be able to guess when her pictures end and mine start!)
Noelle and Bethany walking into the stadium. Noelle was completely overwhelmed:

The totally amazing castle set:
Belle and the beast transformed:
All the "princesses" dancing with their "princes":
After the intermission, the rest of the show was spent retelling the Cinderella story, which we loved because Cinderella is Noelle's favorite princess:
The coach and horses:
At the ball:
Cinderella and the Prince dancing, Noelle's favoritist, favoritist part:
During which, she made her Cinderella doll dance in the air along with them:
At the end, when they had all the princesses come out in white dresses:
Yeah, this looked much cooler in real life. If you enlarge it, you can probably find Cinderella in white, ready to dance with the Prince.
Some cool pyrotechnics:
Noelle waving goodbye to all the princesses at the end as they skated away:
Maybe I'm just a sucker for the Disney cash machine, but, darn it all, it was a completely magical evening, and not just for the three-year-old!

I absolutely love the one of you and Noelle. Man I miss your family! Happy Birthday Noelle!
Maybe the wish your heart makes is to live in a family where there is a "No singing at the meal table" rule. If that's the case, I'm not sure that "Whatever you wish for you keep" line holds up under minimal scrutiny.
Glad you had a fun night!
The video made me laugh out loud-- I love Isaac's look of disgust.
A few years ago, City High put on Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella. Angie Rideout was the title role. I went with a friend and her 5-year-old daughter. When Cinderella/Angie came out, that little girl stood up and gasped aloud. Priceless. I mock the commercialism, but there's something magical about princesses.
So cute! She's a Peral Harbor day baby! There is just something magical about Disney-and they do it well!
We are huge Disney fans too. So much so we used to have annual passes for our family. How's that for lame. Glad you had a great time at the show. It looks like it was well worth it.
I've never seen any Disney anything on ice, but this looks really cool! What a fun birthday thing to do together!
That sounds so fun!! My kids would love it. Here's a happy holiday wish to you guys.
