Are You Ready?

It's that time again - a great escape for just the gals. Are there any takers for a Girls Day Out (GDO) on April 11th? It would be so much fun! Remember these outings?

Davis is still so young, we could include him in a girl's day if his mommy were interested!

We Found Nemo!

Oh gosh, we had such a good time!
-- Click on TJei's picture and check out her eyes. She wanted to have the picture and share her smile and enthusiams but she was captivated by the characters on the rink. It was great! --

I was somewhat worried, our tickets from Ticketmaster hadn't arrived. I suspect Mike may have tossed them thinking it was junk mail. Fortunately, I did think of the tickets before leaving out from home and contacted Ticketmaster. They were the best - exceptional customer service. We picked up replacement tickets at Will-Call on the night of the show.


TJei was ecstatic! She didn't sit the entire evening. She stood and danced to the music and sang along with the songs. She had a wonderful time!

Even little Mia enjoyed the color and movement. Anytime Jodie tried to turn her around, Mia would fuss to turn back so she could see all the activity. She, too, was having a good time ... as were Jodie and I.

I am so glad we could all go together to see Finding Nemo. It was a lot of fun.

Finding Nemo GDO

It'll be here soon ... Another Girl's Day Out is planned for April 10th and I've managed to score tickets to the opening night performance of Disney on Ice, Finding Nemo!

Unfortunately, Kelly and Baylee won't be able to join us. I'm sure they'll have bunches of fun with their guests from out of town. Jodie and I will have loads of fun with TJei and Mia while watching the performance.

We had so much fun! Glenda and I have been planning this outing with our young granddaughters for many, many weeks now. We had a wonderful time. Glenda's sister, Debbie, was there, too. Debbie didn't get to go to the show, she wasn't here (from Virginia) when the tickets were purchased. I think she enjoyed all the advanced activities though.

Times three: TJei, Chantelle, DiDi
Plus three: Glenda, Debbie, Karen

The girls enjoyed an evening of crafts as they added gemstones, glitter paint, ribbons and feathery boa strip to headpieces and sceptors and they fashioned bejeweled bracelets from colored beads. The girls had pizza for dinner and Glenda made beef noodles for the grown-ups.

The girls loved opening little gifts throughout the evening and in the morning. They each had an abundance of little gifts to remind them how special they are and help them remember this special weekend. They had their tiaras, a photo album, a beautiful picture frame, a magic notepad, nail polish, and a pencil in their gift bags. They cuddled up in Glenda's royal boudoir to watch princess movies as they drifted off to sleep.

Glenda took advantage of my visit to learn how to blog! She started her own blog and listed her home for rent during the Super Bowl!

The girls loved being fussed over and getting their nails polished, make-up on and having their hair curled. TJei had plenty of natural curls but Chantelle and DiDi didn't mind waiting on the curls. Glenda and her sister, Aunt Debbie, added all those special touches to bring out the glitter, glow and grins of our little princesses.

TJei was just tickled pink to finally be able to put on make-up and not be in trouble. ;-) Once she was all blushed and glitered and glossed she went to the living room mirrors to check herself out then pirouetted to show us her lovely dress.

Our girls were dazzling when we left for the show. I'm not sure who was more excited - me or them!

All the princesses at the show. For a time, TJei traded off her tiara for a crown. A $10 bag of cotton candy included a crown with mouse ears. Glenda donned the tiara while cuddling with her little princesses.

After the show, we went to Scottsdale and had dinner at Black Angus. This picture was taken at a fountain near the restaurant. The girls were treated like princesses and even a guest at a nearby table commented he didn't realize they'd be sitting across from royalty for dinner.

It was wonderful to spend this time with Glenda (and Debbie, too!) and to do such a fun activity with our young granddaughters. We definitely need to make this a tradition. :-)

Princess Wishes GDO

Mike and I were able to get five tickets to Disney on Ice, Princess Wishes for January 26th. We got five tickets thinking I could ask Glenda to go and take along her two little granddaughters and I could take TJei for a wonderful GDO (Girls Day Out) activity.

I talked with Glenda this morning and she said, YES ... she'd love to go and take the girls. She also said the 26th was Derek's birthday.

I am so grateful Heavenly Father provides the means and opportunity for me to be a better friend to someone I care so much about. I just know it will be a special outing.
