Princess Ball 2011

First of all, I still think it's so weird that it's 2011.  Don't know why...I just do.  That said...there is lots happening in 2011.  Tonight, there happens to be a Princess Ball.  Our gym does a father/daughter dance every year.  A night for the little ladies and their daddies.  It's SUCH a fun time for the girls.  Not sure about the dads...but the girls love it for sure.  It's a bit rough on the mommy.  At least...getting her ready for it!  This girl is TENDERHEADED!!!!!!  Oh, she wants the curls and the fancy do...just screams like bloody murder the entire way through it.  We are definitely heading into the salon next year.  No way I am going to take on this job again!  Geez!  I need a serious glass of wine by the time we are all done that that traumatic experience! Anyway...There is music and fancy stuff, feather boas, chocolate fountains and dancing!  This year's theme is a Princess Ball.  They are giving away a princess bed (the exact same one already sitting in Clara's bedroom, so we'll PROBABLY win it), and there are to be horse and carriage rides.  Dinner will be served, along with chocolate covered strawberries and all sorts of other goodies.  In short, according to Clara,  it's "the best night of her whole entire life".  She headed out the door tonight feeling very much like a princess, in the dress SHE picked (my opinion counts for little these days)....complete with her (semi) glass slippers!  A handsome couple, this prince and princess!  Enjoy!
