Princess Pottery Party

Today was a fun day on what would have otherwise probably been another boring winter day.

We went to Tia Rosa's work (eventually one day maybe she'll be Aunt Steph, but for now I love that these girls still stick by the nickname I Christened her with back when Maddie was a little baby) at her side job, a place called 'Jen's Pottery Den.' Today was a Princess Pottery day, which combined 2 hours of crafting 4 different things and princess themes; in other words, this was an awesome time for both Maddie and Faith.

One of the helper girls was even dressed up as Pocahontas, who happens to right now be their idol. Boy, were they pleased! I took their Aurora and Snow White dresses, and they were so happy to be "so fancy" for the afternoon. They got their cheeks painted, they got to paint an awesome pottery light for their room, they fashioned a princess hat, wand, and necklace, and had some great snacks. Maddie just loved the red velvet cakes that they served and they loved the pretzel princess wands, which we have made before. The owner of the place, Jen, was very nice too and so creative with what they did. She had each of the girls help put a story together using the fun that is Mad Libs. They thought the story was hilarious, and kept doing their fake laugh over and over again.

And, our little Beeba Show was not to be outdone. She and Daddy had a little "date" together. Dan took her over to Oregon Dairy (which used to be a favorite of ours when Cran was a tiny baby and we lived in Lancaster with Nene for those 2 months) and he said she loved it. She saw the cows and the deer, and they picked up some delicious apple sausage. She was quite happy to see me, but she and Daddy had a great time together.
