Disney on Ice. . .

What a blast. . .we took Gracie to Disney on Ice this weekend! It was a slight glimpse into what Disney World will be like when we go next Christmas! She was completely overwhelmed by the vendors with the Disney Merchandise (of course, several items made it home with us!) as well as the idea of the ice skating. She can not wait to learn to skate. . .she often scoots around the hardwoods on two paper plates pretending she is skating:) Anyway, she was amazed by the show. . .until the Incredibles Villain showed up! For the remainder of the show she had a blanket on her head so she could cover her eyes at a moments notice. I'm a bit mad a Disney for making the event "scary". Granted most of the other kids seemed to love it and overall, so did Gracie, but as the parent. . .I thought it was a bit much. The good news is she was not scared of the large creatures. I have been concerned about her reaction at Disney World because she is petrified of Chuckie Cheese (can you blame her ~ he is pretty creepy). Overall, I think it was a great introduction ~ for both of us. This kid can be very demanding. . .she nearly had a meltdown when she saw the Cinderella Barbie! Through this process, Mommy also learned a bit more about about sewing:) I can honestly say this is the first thing I have ever made that was worn out of the house! I think I am totally addicted to applique! Here is a picture of Gracie and Cinderella. You can imagine how much she loves this photo. . .she keeps it on the table next to her chair! I will add more pictures to this post when I get them from my friend that went with us. . .
