Even more exciting? Getting to watch a girl become a real-life princess with your daughter. Um, hello! That's pretty much awesome. My sister felt the same way, so we planned a very special Royal Princess Breakfast to watch the big event together with our own little princesses. We didn't watch it live; there are very, very few reasons to wake a child at 6am, and Royal-Wedding-watching is not one of those reasons. (What is, you ask? Leaving to go on a Disney vacation, for one...November needs to hurry up!) So we started our breakfast and the Today Show coverage we had recorded around 9:15 instead. The girls dressed up for the occasion, because duh - it was Princess Day!
My mom & I made princess crown cookies for each of the girls (chocolate sugar cookies, yummmm!) Brooke got to enjoy her very own cookie. This is one of my favorite pictures of her lately! (She got her princess jammies in her Easter basket - not for this occasion, but what perfect timing!)
She wasn't into the cookie so much, but clearly she loved the icing!
The anticipation was great while waiting for the princess to appear. Due to a small glitch, we ended up coming home just before the Big Event started. My sister tells me her girls were in heaven watching the princess get married, especially seeing her ride in her royal carriage. My little nugget cuddled with me on the couch and we watched the whole wedding together (she wasn't feeling great - tummy troubles - so she was extra cuddly this afternoon.)
Something tells me I won't forget about this wedding for a while. And not because of the royal procession and the crazy hats, but because of the lovely little girly day I had with my daughter, my princess.
