Cinderella

We already knew we had a princess at our house, but Madeline became Cinderella or "Norella", as she says it.  She had the gown, the wand, shoes that lit up, a tiara, and necklace. We had a great time decorating, finding pumpkins, and watching Kelly's "Disney's Halloween (Brain Washing) Movie."

Halloween morning, we went to a car show held at EverGreen Cemetery. We got to see Jake and Papa's car along with the whole family.

Madeline says: "Rock on!"

Later that night we saw the Hutchison's. 

It has become a tradition that we see them every Halloween since Evan was at least in Pre-school. Evan is now in 3rd grade (ahhh..time is moving too fast!)

After we saw "the boys" we went trick or treating with the Robles family.
Their kids did great, Madeline not so much.

We tried trick or treating, but Madeline was not having it. She cried and acted like a true princess. 

"Hold me, hold me, no walk!"
Emma, I mean Tinker Bell,  did a fantastic job.

Before Halloween we did a few projects.

We made cupcakes together and Madeline helped with the sprinkles.
Can you tell she loves cupcakes?

Jake and I had a fun grown-up Halloween this year.
We got to party at the Paino/ Mercadefe Halloween Extravaganza without kids.
I was 23 weeks pregnant and a flapper. Jake was a .....
one- night stand.
Madeline saw her Mommy and Daddy getting ready so  she decided to join in too,
 but do real princesses even need an excuse to dress up and wear their fancy shoes?

We got spiders on our toes too......

the picture makes them look like blobs, but they are spiders.

This a picture of Madeline leaving with Jake in the morning.

Halloweens from the past.

Next Halloween 2011, we will have another little pumpkin to dress up!
Maybe Jake will let me make him our little Prince.

Ice Ice Baby

We were lucky enough to get a late Christmas present from Nana, Papa, and TT to go see "Disney on Ice". Madeline loved it, and we enjoyed it too! We had great seats and Jake was able to capture some neat shots.  The music was fun and Madeline knew most of the characters and princesses! It was too much fun hearing her say their names and  pointing with excitement.
P.S. I will be working on past holiday pictures soon!
Sorry they are out of chronological order.

Lucky Girls

A few weekends ago Madeline got to experience her first official manicure and pedicure. She loved it of course!

She sat still like a statue.

She picked pink polish and got flowers painted on.

Grandma helped keep her still.

The cutest little toes!

Madeline and Mommy's toes

 Ann sure loves her! 

Whether it is Madeline's birthday, Christmas, or just any occasion at all, 

this little girl gets spoiled by Ann!

Oh, we got Starbucks too.

Such a happy girl, a perfect Saturday!

Little Model

We were also lucky enough to have a barbecue at the Josselyn's.

Madeline got to go swimming...aka: sitting in the water.

She struck a pose all on her own.

Little curls just like her mommy had when she was her age.

Couldn't resist the backside shot.

It is full of water, but oh so cute!

She is a lucky girl and I am a lucky Mommy!

We are very blessed to have special weekends like this, and special people to share them with!

G-L-A-M !!!

I couldn't resist this little diva post.

I let her play in my bracelet box, and as you can see she has every one of them on.

Not only does she have on the bracelets, she also has her Snow White high heel princess shoes.

She is a girly girl!!!!

I love it, 

but most importantly I love her!!!!!!
