We Remember Moments...: Breakfast with the Princesses

Breakfast with the Princesses

Okay, this was so funny. We knew the girls would like it, so we decided it was worth it. We didn't realize, however, that the boys would be so...awestruck by the Disney Princesses. When one arrives at the restuarant, it's time for a picture with Ariel. Then throughout the meal, each princess is announced by heralds with horns and everything. They go around the room to each table and sign autographs, chat a bit, and pose for pictures. It was by far the easiest way to get the autographs. When Snow White came by, she looked at the boys, then asked Abrie,"Are these your dwarfs?" The boys just stared at the princesses, sometimes with mouths open, and giggled when addressed. It was too funny. They were so smitten. The girls were delighted, especially Abrie. She was so excited when Cinderella finally made her appearance. Abrie has now decided to be Cinderella for Halloween and Elise wants to be Snow White. Elise got excited with each entrance, but never wanted to be anywhere close to the characters.

Anonymous said...: I read the first line, then went to the pictures. As I looked through the photos, I had a feeling that the funny part was that the boys enjoyed it too. I was right! You can see it in Jake's smile. Yep, that is funny.; 2:33 PM

Samuel, age 8

Sam is an all-or-nothing child. From before he was born he's been in a hurry to get somewhere and do something. Always busy, he's taken to getting out my cookbooks when he's bored and making something to eat. He makes excellent chocolate chip cookies! The wheels in his brain are constantly turning, and he needs a lot of direction to help him channel his energy and creativity. He is one of the most generous, nurturing souls I know and he is a wonderful older brother.

Jacob, age 7

Jake is our ray of sunshine. He goes through life with a smile on his face and something to eat in his hand. He is kind-hearted, and loves to be silly. He is also my most persevering child. If there is something he wants to do, he'll keep trying until he accomplishes it. He loves anything and everything on wheels. He has inline skates, a bike and a skateboard. He's taught himself to use all three. He also enjoys gymnastics. His teachers all love his sunny personality - he's just a charmer.

Abrie, age 5

Abrie is our song bird and sings from morning to night. When asked a question, she responds using a melody of her own creation. She can hear a song once or twice and remember many of the lyrics. She is very motivated when it comes to academics. She hasn't started school yet, but she can already read well and do basic addition and subtraction. She loves to dance and do gymnastics. She also loves to play with her sister. She is a very helpful girl and is my "listmaker". She is a very girly-girl and loves dresses, nail polish, jewelry and ribbons.

Elise, age 3

The baby of our family, Elise is proud to be growing up. She is so precious. She watches and learns from her older siblings daily. She loves to race people, but only if you let her win. She is our dancer. If she misses a chance to dance to music, she becomes upset. She even sneaks out of the pew at church and tries to dance in the aisle to hymns! She is petite, and speaks very clearly for her age, which always surprises people when they ask me how old my baby is and she answers, "My name is Elise and I'm three years old." She is a chatterbox and always has something to say. She will answer any question, and is full of questions of her own.
