the things I do for my niece.......

So my sister Misty asked us - her sisters and mom to participate in my niece Mercedes 4th birthday party.  It was a princess theme and she wanted each of us to dress up as Princesses.  Well we agreed but weren't really thinking about the lack of adult Princess costumes.  So Misty did her best to come up with some free "princess" dresses for us.  I told her we were gonna look like the "ghetto" disney princesses.  But the kids enjoyed us anyways.  I pulled out my wedding dress from 8 years ago and with the help of Sam and my brother in law Tim they were able to stuff - and I mean stuff my body into it and barely zip it up.  I am not kidding - my ribs hurt so bad, I could hardly breath all night and I could not bend at all.  Even after the party was over and they released me from my dress, my ribs were still sore for at least a half hour. 

Addie and Gwen were so excited to see me in my dress and wanted to dance around with me.  All the kids dressed up in their own princess dresses and it was a fun party.  Plus I got to get another use out of my wedding dress. :)

Me as Cinderella, Alicia as Belle, Jessica as Sleeping Beauty, Mom as Alice in Wonderland and Paul as the Mad Hatter ????
