Princesses in the house

The kids had a harvest party at their church last Friday night that they missed so that they could spend time with Nana, Auntie Christine and their cousins. Since they missed their party, they also missed their opportunity to dress up in costumes. So, in tote with them this weekend were all the kids' costumes and we had a special dress up time on Sunday. Nate (unfourtunately) didn't want anything to do with his awesome red dragon costume. Emma and Abby on the other hand didn't pass up an opportunity to dress up in their beautiful gowns! We were in the presence of two very lovely princesses on Sunday afternoon!

Abby had a couple costumes with her and one was an actual GORGEOUS princess dress, but she insisted on wearing this other (also lovely but not as elaborate) pink flapper dress. Abby is a princess everyday whether or not she is wearing the dress!

And Emma also had a beautiful gown! She dressed up as Lucy from the movie The Chronicles of Narnia. Doesn't she look just like Lucy?

Though Nathan and Abby didn't wear theirs, the kids' new costumes were bought by their friend Jenn. I know they missed their party but I am sure the kids will all find plenty of opportunities to play dress up in their new costumes. Thanks Jenn for being so generous to the kids!

I am so sorry that we had to leave
before the kids could play dress-up
Emma came down the stairs with all
her gowns all neatly placed on hangers so anxious to share with
her cousins..next time.
Emma is so beautiful in her gown
and Abby makes a great "flapper"!
Great job Jen..and thank-you Nik
for a wonderful blog. I really enjoy this!

Love,
Nana
