Princess Prep School

We signed Maci up for Princess Prep School and it was last week. She had the best time learning what it means to be a true princess, a daughter of The King. I was very impressed with the camp, and she really seemed to learn a lot. On a more shallow note, I loved getting to fuss over hair and dresses every morning. She insisted on wearing a dress every day, and so that is what she wore. What a doll! Anyway, I hope to see the seeds that were planted this week come to life in her little heart. On Friday, she had a Royal Graduation. She dressed in her Cinderella dress-up clothes. Cute. She sang a song, said a "Princess Prayer" and did awesome. Her Granddaddy blessed us by driving to Houston for her big day. We were thrilled that he could make it. After her ceremony, we celebrated with a McDonald's meal. When Alan came home, he gave her a graduation present to let her know how proud of her we were. What a special way to celebrate being a girl in God's Kingdom!

A Princess Date in the Middle of Princess Week

This was the week of Princess Prep School and we knew there was to be a graduation the last day. Alan would not be able to attend due to a training at work and was seriously bummed. So, when Tonya sent me an email letting me know that the princesses would be at Chick Fi la on the second day of Princess School, we thought a princess date was only fitting for the week. Alan really appreciated it since he was going to miss graduation. Anyway, we got them all dolled up in their royal attire and took them over to Chick Fi La. They loved it. Cinderella was definitely the woman of the hour, but they enjoyed getting to see the others too. Tinkerbell (Payton was a big fan) Cinderella (by far their favorite)

Salt Lick and The Oasis

We went to Austin for a Tonya's bridal shower and for dinner went over to The Salt Lick. I don't really care for bbq, but I hear that its about as good as it gets in the bbq world. We had a good time and got some cute pictures. I have been trying my hand at photo editing. I would say photography, but I don't have a cool camera to take great pictures with, so I am having a little fun with "post production," thanks to Stacy for the tutorials! Anyway, we went over to The Oasis for a little dancing and to watch the sunset after we ate. Maci was unbelievable on the dance floor. That girl can move. Talk about freestyle, it was hilarious! I don't have any pictures of her dancing that her hair is not flying up. Very fun to watch. Maci dancing by herself in the middle of the dance floor all 4 of us dancing
