New princess gowns.

Ok, by the end of this week, you are going to be slap SICK of princesses! Trust me on this! We ate breakfast with princesses, stood in 45 minute lines to hug princesses, bought $60 princess dress up clothes, and naturally had to have the princess gowns too!
Honestly, I DID exercise restraint in the souvenier department at Disney! In fact, I most of the time just decided to totally avoid the souvie shops so I (ahem... ELLIE!) wouldn't feel the need to buy every knick knack known to mankind!
On any given day, the "favorite" princess would change. It flip flopped between Ariel, Belle, Cinderella, and Aurora (Alora!).
I would say Gabbi stayed pretty steady with "Rella". She didn't really know this world until this trip! She was more of a Dora kind of gal. NOT now!! Now she wants to watch, "Rella" or "Boo-bies"...(I FINALLY realized that was Beauty and the Beast! Hahahaha), or even for the last day, "No White".
We dont' get to see Todd's parents all that often, so it is always fun for us to be there with them.
I gotta say, having in-laws in Orlando is pretty awesome! Not that we wouldn't rather have them here with us, but you know, visiting Disney World every time you see your in-laws is a pretty good deal!

In typical Ellie Sue form, she would rock it out every night and tell funny stories, and ham it up!
On this patricular night, she played her new pretend CD player that was the best 5 bucks I ever spent at Dollar General!
Please note the TORNADO WATCH on the TV in the background. Wouldn't you know?!
Didn't steal our joy though! We never missed a beat while down there. Our daddy kept his little smart phone on and was tracking that storm every inch of our outings! On this particular day, he said, "Ok, I think we should start heading to the car", and by the time we were exiting the DW gates, it started sprinkling. Yay for an organized daddy! If it'd been up to me, we'd been wearing raingear!

Anyway, back to Dance Dance USA!
Gabbi Girl INSISTS on wearing her crowns upside down. She won't let us fix them! ANd would you look at Ellie's face? Talk about giving it 110%! That girl is about to poop out a white glittery glove!
And Gabbi TRIES to be a big girl and dance, but she just can't quite let go of her baby Rella!
I have many, many Disney pics to share, so get ready peeps! Gonna be a crazy week! Mo

LOVE the photos....nothin like two little girls playing dress up in gowns and crowns! You're making such wonderful memories, thanks for sharing.

Oh, and saw Don & Staci's lottery story on tv yesterday. Still can't BELIEVE how blessed they were to be able to keep Jake's love alive by blessing others by winning! One darling little boy, continuing to touch the lives of so many. :)

LOVE IT! This Disney fan never gets tired of Disney stories. Give me more! Oh and that gown looks like it was made for Ellie. The coloring, fit length -- all of it. Too precious

Can't wait to see more pictures. Loving all these memories you are making with your girls and being able to share in those moments. I'm living through you vicariously since don't think I'll ever have my own princesses. I love having my princes though and know it's have me from a lot of dress up clothes buying. Loving forward to seeing more pictures from Florida and of course more talisman and home pictures to. Keep them coming because we are loving them all.
