Disney On Ice-Princess Edition

This girl was very excited for her first ice show experience and I couldn't think of any better way to introduce her to the wonderful world of figure skating than to see Disney Princesses On Ice!

We had seats high up so that Spencer wouldn't disturb too many people if he got cranky-which, he did-but they were still really good seats!  The show was over 2 hours, including an intermission, so it was a long time for the kids to sit still.  Spencer had to leave the arena a few times from just getting a bit too restless, but we had snacks that kept him busy most of the time.  Avery bopped in her seat and was probably most excited to see Mickey and Minnie who had cameos to introduce the show and conclude it.

I managed to snag some pretty good pictures so here is a sampling of what we got to see!

p.s. Thank you for all of the well wishes with my surgery and recovery.  I have to say I think it has been harder to get better from this than my two c-sections.  If you can avoid nasal surgery, please do.  After 11 days, I was finally able to sort of taste a little bit of my dinner last night.  I can't put into words how frustrating it is to not be able to breathe, smell, or taste for that long.  By this weekend though, almost 2 weeks out from surgery, I am finally getting energy back and starting to get my senses back.  I'm still pretty swollen so I don't know if everything worked but I have my stitches out and finally all of my bandages off.  I really hope it worked because regardless, I will not go through this surgery again if I can help it!  Once my swelling goes down some more I'll get some pictures up:)

Hi Steph! Thanks for the re-invite to your blog...I cannot believe how similar our kids look:) Avery reminds me sooo much of Elizabeth in her ballerina costume:) We also enjoy playing in the laundry baskets!
Great pictures, and so glad it's warmer out- we miss you and hope to see you soon? Maybe a trip to SMC/ND over the spring or summer...we all need a reunion.
Love,
