american girls, ariel, and dance recital

We had the girliest of weeks!! I know B loves having daughters, but after this week he may need some baseball and beer and male bonding. So much glitter and dolls and tutus. He’s such a good dad and I found the week positively delightful.
We kicked off the week with American Girl Doll camp at the Kitchen. This event was all Gwyneth’s idea and she has been counting down. We had a great turnout and it was blast. 
Gwyneth’s dear friend, Ella joined her.
Annabelle’s dear friend, Olivia joined her. 
American Girl doll hair salon:
mini root beer floats: yum!
To keep these ladies entertained, clean, and out of trouble before dance rehearsal, we spent the morning at the aquarium. 

Greatest photobomb. They had no idea what was behind and the jump when they turned around to find the stingrays was fabulous.

They are not allowed to have visible temporary tattoos for recital so they got creative.

Lunch at the aquarium:

All Annabelle wanted was soup….and a giant bowl of soup, she got:

Who doesn’t love a princess? We had our first visit to the kitchen today from Ariel. We decorated aprons, sang songs, Ariel read a story, the girls danced, we ate lunch, and decorated cookies. I’m glad my girls still love princesses and we’re looking forward to our next visit from Tinkerbell. 
Finally, dance recital!!
Annabelle had 5 dances and was in both finales. Gwyneth had 4 dances. They both danced beautifully and rocked their hip hop routines. I’m so proud of them. Its so much work and practice leading up to the recital. They absolutely love the costumes and Annabelle LOVES the make up. The entire production is quite popular at our house. 
So proud of my beautiful ballerinas.
