Fairy Tale Ball

A local nonprofit had a great fundraiser called the Fairy Tale Ball. The girls dressed as princesses and Jack and I wore our finest to meet all the characters. Grace had a hard time deciding what to wear- she tried on all of these... She finally decided on what she decided was "Snow White." For someone who is usually a perfectionist I'm not sure why she thought she was Snow White but she was beautiful as was Kate as Sleeping Beauty.

As soon as we walked in we met Belle and the Beast

Things were going well until Grace saw the characters from Star Wars. I really thought we were going to have to leave after being there only a few minutes. I'll admit- they did look a little scary. Apparently there were several others scared of them so they moved into the corner where they stayed for the rest of the evening. Grace relaxed a little bit but kept her eye on them the entire night- especially when her daddy and Kate took a picture with them.

Grace loved this carriage. She loved driving it and "riding" in it. We spent about half the night there...

Kate was very interested in knowing what was coming next

The food was very cool. Grace's favorite was the candy "bar"

The girls met Goldilocks and got to feel all the bears' beds to find the one that was "just right"Grace and Peter Pan. She said he "looked a little different from the book." As we were struggling to think of what to say, she answered it for herself- "I think it was his hair." Ok then... Kate was very interested in the Gingerbread House

There were lots of characters!

We all know Grace LOVED the dancing. She kicked off her shoes like a real woman in high heels. The best part of the evening was when she decided to try the line dances. She's wasn't half bad. She was barking orders at me about what to do next after watching everyone else. It was hysterical. Next year we will know to bring the video camera. Everyone had a great time!

Grace stared at this young lady most of the evening. "That not Tinkerbell- look at her hair!" Finally as we were about to leave, Grace demanded to meet her and find out just who this girl was. She told Grace she was "Tinkerbell" and Grace just gave her a strange look... Oh well- we had a great time and can't wait until next year!
