The West Jordan Chick-Fil-A held a princess party and Abbie wanted to go to it so bad. It was scheduled for the same time I needed to drop Brandon off at the airport for his work trip to Seattle*.
So, Grandma Ellie, Syd, and Manda took her. She absolutely loved it. She learned how to properly drink tea (lemonade), how to curtsy, and other things. We also won a free family pass to the Princess Festival and a free kids meal.
Then Saturday we went to the Princess Festival. Once again Abbie loved it! The characters were awesome and made Abbie feel comfortable. She was able to meet Cinderella, Aurora, Rapunzel, Snow White, and lots of other princesses/characters, and walk in the parade. She was having so much fun we finally bribed her to leave with a snow cone. It was a really cute event and fun for all of us.
* I guess I might at well blog about Brandon's trip to Seattle here since I mentioned it. He found out the week before that he would have to go on the trip. He left Tuesday night and then got back Friday night. I was really worried about him leaving for many reasons: scary being home at night, sad to not see him for 3 days, worried about how Abbie would go to bed at night and how she would react in the morning when its usually their playtime, I wouldn't be able to go running in the morning, etc.. It turned out to be better than expected. We were safe at night, and I got the whole bed to myself :) and we were able to talk on the phone an skype. My mom was nice enough to come over each morning and watch the kiddos while I went for my morning run. It was also helpful that they were all off school/ work so that we weren't lonely and could see them everyday.
Brandon was excited to go because he had never been to Seattle before. In the evenings after work he was able to do a little bit of sight-seeing.
I am glad it was a quick trip and that things are back to normal.
