Since Shenzie is suddenly a Princess and only cares about all things Princess we thought she would really enjoy Disney on Ice featuring Ariel and Tinkerbell. Cars and The Lion King also made an appearance along with Mickey, Miney, Donald, and Goofey, but all she really cared about where the Princesses. I was hopeful Heaten would like it even though it was mainly “girly” themed. Shenzie was all dressed up in her black tutu, princess shoes, princess wand, princess bag, and of course her princess crown. When we got to the venue Jeff was blown away by all of the little princesses. He thought Shenzie would be one of the few dressed up. Ha, little girls just LOVE to dress up and they were out in full force this day!

We arrived early so we could see the Meet and Greet Princess thingymabopper. Oh my heavens, when Shenzie saw Cinderella up there her little eyes lit up and her whole face smiled. It almost made me want to cry. She was SO excited to see Cinderella and Tiana and just waved and waves and blew them kisses. Every little girls dream I’m sure. She told me that Cinderella was sooooooooooo pretty and sparkly. Later when we were reading her Princess book she again told me how Cinderella was cute with sparkles and then turned to me and said “Mama, not cute. No Sparkles”. Hahahahah, I guess I need more bling!

When the lights went down Shenzie immediately got scared and started to cry, but after climbing into my lap she was ok. She sang along to the songs, clapped, and watched with magic in her eyes. Heaten sat quietly in his chair for most of it just taking it all in, pure Heaten style. After a bit he got tired and climbed into Daddy’s lap for a little cuddle (they missed naps to go and Heaten still REALLY needs his nap). It was a two hour program and they did fantastic. I’m so glad we waited until now to take them and we’ll for sure go back next year! What a fun family day and oh so joyful to watch the twinzies soak it all in!
