Disney on Ice Princess Classics

On Friday my mom and I took the girls to see Disney on Ice Princess Classics. When I was a little girl, my mom and dad and many times my grandparents would take us to our nearest big city which was Salt Lake City to watch Disney on Ice shows. Those were some of my favorite memories of my childhood. For years I have wanted to take my girls but I wanted to wait until they were a little bit older and could really sit and enjoy and remember the show. So I called my mom and told her it was coming to Denver and she wanted to join us.

We had such a great time!!

When I was young, my sister was always right there next to me enjoying the show too. So I found it actually very emotional to be sitting there remembering the excitement from the past and having my sister with me. I teared up several times and almost lost it in the beginning when the lights, music, and skaters first came out. It was surprisingly harder than I imagined being there. (For those of you who don't know, my sister passed away almost 22 years ago.) I don't get choked up about her much anymore but I really did that night. I'm glad my girls have each other to experience this with too.

Her little face was so cute to watch, she was so captivated!

They each got to pick one toy from Grandma. Audrey chose a Belle disney doll and oddly enough Olivia chose a BIG stuffed animal of the Beast from Beauty and the Beast. Out of all the princess stuff to choose from she chose this big ugly beast. I think when the Beast came out on the ice my mom told Olivia that the Beast was her favorite and I think that is why Olivia decided he was her favorite too. Audrey wore her Tinker Bell costume to the show. Her little arm is taped up because she burnt herself on my curling iron earlier that morning.
