Surprise!!!

The weekend before last, our friends (Kevin, Jamie, and Amanda) came up from Dallas so that us girls could go to the Oklahoma State Fair. Jamie and I were surprising Taylor and Amanda with tickets to Disney Princesses on Ice. The morning of show day, we went shopping and got the girls outfitted to be "little princesses". When we got home, they proceeded to get in the dresses (which they thought were just dress-up clothes to play in) and model in front of the mirror, like a true girl should always do! Then we got back in the car and started off to the fair. When the girls asked, "Where are we going?" that's when we told them. It was so cute to see them dancing and screaming in their car seats.

OK, so you might be thinking at this point, "Why didn't you tell them sooner???". Imagine, for a moment, two 4 year old girls trying to contain their excitement to go see ALL their favorite princesses...yep, you guessed it, you can't! So, in an effort to avoid the, "Mommy, are we there yet?!?!" or the "Is it time yet?!?!" or even the "Why can't we go, NOW!!!" we decided waiting until the last possible moment to tell them was the best decision we have EVER made as parents!

It was worth it anyway...the girls had an absolute blast at the show. I didn't even mind buying her the $12 snow cone (although I did have to pick my jaw up off the ground when the vendor told me the price!) After the show, they got to spend the rest of the evening riding rides, eating cotton candy, and of course getting their pictures taken about a thousand times. All in all, it was a great girls day out! Here's the link to the slide show:
