Princess for a Day (or 2 or 3...)

We went along with Daddy to Anaheim, Ca for a few days. While he worked we played! :-) We went to the Santa Ana Zoo (yeah they have a zoo there), Adventure City (a super fun, super Cheap place to take kids under the age of 12 to ride all kinds of rides). Then we finally talked Dad into letting us go to Disneyland.

For our kids Disneyland is the most magical place on earth. For Lilly that is now even more so that it was before. Especially now that we discovered the "Princess Pavilion". All day we kept seeing little girls everywhere dressed up as Belle, Jasmine, Cinderella and Snow White... and hearing all kinds of good advice that we should take our girls to the "Princess Pavilion". So finally I talked my 15 year old son into finding it and hanging out in a REALLY long line for it, not knowing at all WHAT we were waiting for. Turns out we were waiting to meet a few princesses and have our pictures taken with them ahhhh! However there was also a really fun interactive show with other Princess Characters that we got to do too.

Afterward we were shown the "Princess Makeover" area... uh, oh!... Daddy is going to poop his pants when he sees the bill. Anyway how could I resist to give Lilly her very dream to become a "Princess". It was like she completely transformed right in front of our eyes. Even her brother was impressed with how different she became, from the inside and out. She carried herself differently and had a the most fun and sparkley personality to match her sparkle dress and makeup. Everywhere we went people noticed her and thought she really looked like a princess. She loved the attention!

Now three days later and she hasn't taken the dress off except to sleep or bathe. She says she feels pretty in the dress and like a princess. I think it is so cute to see her face light up just at the thought of her experience at Disneyland and being a "real" princess.

I am so happy that she had her dreams come true.
