Well, I had grand plans for Lucy's birthday! Annie was invited to a party with this theme when she was 4. Our friends the Tedders had this Cinderella party for their daughter Natalie. The children came dressed in old clothes and were given feather dusters to clean the house. Then the Fairy God mother appeared with a bibbidi bobbidi boo and they all got dressed up in dress up for the ball. While they were eating cake Prince Charming appeared with the glass slipper on the pillow. Natalie's Prince Charming was her Daddy. He tried the slipper on all of the little girls and it did not fit any of them until he got to his little girl Natalie. You should have seen her face. it was priceless. Absolutely storybook, and did I get some great pictures of Natalie & her Daddy having a special dance. Well...... I thought I would change it up a little bit for Lucy, and I had Charlie be Prince Charles. The most important piece to this story is that Lucy received a brand new Jasmine costume for her birthday. She had not taken it off much in nearly three days. It was definitely her favorite gift. She even got the shoes to go with it. I tried to sneak the shoe off of her foot for "Prince Charles" to use. As soon as he started trying the shoe on all of her little friends (as was in his script), she flipped out! That was her new favorite shoe & it appeared to her that her brother was trying to give it away to someone else. We had melt down city for sure. Had I only used a little common sense , and an old dress up shoe, we might have had that perfect magical moment also. Our moment was still memorable & pretty funny. Charlie tried hard to stay in character & carry out his duties even with Lucy losing her mind. He did a great job. She eventually pulled it together and was luckily smiling again before her guests had to leave. Enjoy the pictures. They are a little out of sequence. I still have a lot to learn with these blogs. Charlie's birthday is Thursday. We will probably have many celebrations again. He is going fishing with some friends for his party on Thursday the 28th. You can check back in to see if I have posted the pictures.
