Princess Party Part 1

I realize I have not been a good poster on Adaline's blog lately, but I knew the grandparents would start to complain if I didn't post birthday pictures soon! :)

Adaline decided she wanted to have a Princess Party for her fourth birthday, and we had such fun listening to her describe what she wanted. I don't know if we ultimately did all she planned in her mind, but she seemed to have a grand time! We had all sorts of outdoor games planned, but the weather report called for rain - so the day before the party, I made all sorts of changes to the event so it could be moved inside. The good news is that there was no rain - and everyone still seemed to have fun inside.

Here are the pictures from the arrival time at the party...

The girls had a chance to get their nails painted by Auntie Mary and Mimi. If they were particularly girly, they also had the chance to get glitter on their cheeks!
Princesses Amari, Adaline and Elizabeth


Two of Adaline's all-time favorite people, Ms. Cori and Ms. Erin, were kind enough to come and help out with the festivities. It was such a blessing to have them there to help keep the kids excited! Here Ms. Cori is helping Caroline decorate her princess hat.

Princesses Keira and Elizabeth

Princess Lillian

King Bryan helped the girls put Cinderella in her castle - with their eyes closed! :)

Princess Katie went first...

After everyone arrived, King Bryan announced "hear ye, hear ye - the time for the Princess Parade has come!" All the princesses followed the king in to the house to the music of "Bippity Boppity Boo!"

Princess Parade

Well, the princess parade fell apart while I was videotaping - but here is what I caught. They were very cute...

Last Day of School 2009

Today is Adaline's last day as an Older Toddler. Mommy is trying not to cry - we love, love, love Adaline's teachers and will be so very sad to not have them next year. Adaline has been with Elaine since she was a baby and has been with Cori for two years... Elaine, Cori, and Daphne have been a great team and have really helped Adaline grow and develop this year. What a blessing they are!

Adaline Dancing at AthFest

Adaline is the little one with the pink hat on (second from the left) - we hope she is only a groupie at this age and not later in life. :)

Art Gallery

Adaline made an art gallery recently, and here are the fruits of her labor. :)

Ballet class 2

My ballet teacher, Alice DePass, is the woman standing against the wall in a black shirt. I feel like I have come full circle with Adaline taking ballet from Alice! :)

A quick video of her walking on her toes.

Not the most exciting clip from ballet class - but the little girl next to Adaline is pretty funny to watch. :)
