Genevieve continues to monopolize Miss Katie's time before, during, and after dance class.
Aunt Katie and Caroline came in town on Saturday and we had a family dinner at Pizzology up in Carmel. I do love that area. I would totally live there if it wasn't so far from my school!
We started G's party with the presentation of Cinderella herself with Jacques, Gus, and Lucifer.
Caroline helped open gifts.
Sunday was a gorgeous day and so we spent time on the porch too.
Caroline agreed to be the Fairy Godmother for like 2 minutes.
The gift opening was the best part!
I ordered her dress from a lady on Etsy instead of buying the Disney version. It was very comfortable and had a crinoline built in. It could stand up by itself!
That was her major gift from us.
Accessories from the Kenworthys.
I found these glass slippers at the last minute at Target.
Halloween costume complete!
We brought out the crown for an annual picture.
She loved her cake pops and a surprise visit from Lucifer and Bob.
Look at that regal profile. She is clearly destined to marry Prince George.
Love from Papi and Abby!
Love from YaYa and Bob.
It was a very successful day!
This week was super busy at school and I headed up to the Fashion Mall on Friday evening to return some things. I saw two of my pledge sisters from college. Jill lives in Arkansas and Amy is in New Castle. We laughed for at least an hour about our years as sorostitutes. (Kidding)
This picture brings back so many memories of how I have always been, and will continue to be, the tallest woman in most situations.
This morning Trinity ran my school district's annual Running South 5K event. He was third in his age group.
G wanted to run, so we pinned his number on her for the 1 mile fun run, which we knew would last approximately 5 minutes for our child.
She came off the start line like a flash of lightening. She wasted some much needed energy by hollering at everyone she passed "I'm so fast! I'm such a good runner!"
I could barely keep up with her because I was laughing so hard.
With any luck, she'll have a willowy physique like her YaYa and run like her father.
This mad dash suddenly came to a crashing halt about 100 yards later.
She stopped, turned around and said, "I'm tired, I need to rest. Where is my yellow blanket?"
And… SCENE.
Dunzo.
Her father had to carry her to the car.
She was out for the count about 15 minutes later.
She will have to work on her stamina!
