Disney on Ice!!!!

The BIG event came on Thursday when we got to go to Disney on Ice!! Papa splurged on our tickets and got us FRONT ROW SEATS!!! I felt like a little kid the closer we got b/c I KNEW Grace would absolutely LOVE it! Look at the girls all dressed up and ready to go.....LOVE the pose Soph!! haha After Nana insisted on getting the girls the "official" program and a toy of their choice we headed for our seats. We nearly died once we arrived b/c we were literally 2 feet from the ice! There was no barrier between us and the rink which made me SLIGHTLY nervous considering I had an almost two year-old to keep under control! I now fully understand the purpose of those child "leashes!" :)

Please look at how close we were to Minnie!!! Now look at the picture to the right and just imagine what Grace was thinking!!! She didn't quite understand why she couldn't go out and sit with Minnie.......afterall there was plenty of room on that bench for Grace's little tooshy! Mickey and Minnie did this "love" number and at the end of the song Minnie had a rose to give out to someone in the crowd. Much to our amazement, she came right over and motioned to Sophie to COME AND GET IT!!!!! We all sat completely frozen as if we were at a Keith Urban concert and he just asked us to come on stage and get a guitar pick! Finally once we got ourselves together, we told Sophie to go ahead and she got the only rose that Minnie gave out! Can I even tell you how exciting that was! Check out her picture below!

Intermission came at the perfect time b/c Grace was starting to get a little restless. I let her run a few thousand laps and then the show came back on. Nana saved the day with her tinkerbell snow cone. Once Grace got a hold of that, she forgot what was happening around her. Let me explain. You see she only drinks milk and water and had had juice 3 times up until that point. As soon as she figured out that she could drink that sugar water through the straw, she drank like she had never drank before!

We had SO much fun and I am SO glad we decided to go! There is nothing like seeing that through your child's eyes! And we saw those eyes until 11pm due to the overload on sugar water! hahahahahaha



Thank you again Nana and Papa!!

My little punkin' head was pooped the next day! We got to play with Grandma during her lunch break and this picture was taken right before she conked out on her lap!
