Current mood for Wednesday....

Wake us when it's the W E E K E N D 

A Royal Event with my Princess ♔

Our Chick-Fil-A is always throwing such fun, cute and creative events

 so I was excited when I learned they were doing a 'Royal Event' with Princesses.

I mean, I hang out with a princess every day, 

but it was something cute to make our Tuesday Night a bit more exciting than normal!

So Prissy Pants and I got ready, she went with a modern-day princess look...

rocked a fancy pink dress with a gold glitter tulle skirt, gold sneakers and of course our signature piece, denim jacket to really dress it down some. 

Oh, and of course, a tiara headband!

I, not having such a frilly dress... actually that's a lie, I do, but this was not the event to rock such, so I just added my Cinderella crossbody purse

 and threw on my favorite pair of heels.

When we arrived we were greeted with a Knight...

At only nine, she's already found her Knight in Shining Armor

Even the Cow got into the whole Princess thing...

Oh you know just chatting with some princesses, just another typical Tuesday night

After that, it was time to craft a crown...

Her finished crown...

It was a cute little event and we had fun, 

plus Prissy Pants got Chick-Fil-A before we left so she was a super happy girl!

Valentines ♡

We kept the little Valentines simple this year...

the boys got dinosaurs and the girls got unicorns

 and then we just attached a box of cute little stickers

heart-shaped chocolates for her teachers and bus driver

I couldn't forget about my girl... she got both a unicorn & a dinosaur

This year she was allowed and encouraged to decorate a box for her Valentines.

So we did just that... 

Jovi approved!

While she was at school I wrote out her 14th heart for her door...

I absolutely love and adore this tradition.

We started this last year and it's the best thing ever!

I also put together a basket of goodies for her, kind of like her Birthday Basket...

Jovi also got a little goody bag...

he seemed more interested in the bag than the goody though.

it was a lovely LOVE DAY!

Miss Priss turns NINE ♡

She officially turned nine at 10:40 AM, but since she was going to be in school then, we celebrated with a sprinkled donut before we had to leave...

While she was at school I put together a little surprise
'Birthday Basket'
 for when she got home!

I decided to take it with me
 and surprise her with it once she got off the school bus...

She absolutely loved it!

 Once we got home she got to see her table I decorated...

I always try and use her 'Wish Tree' every year on her birthday, somehow.
The gold branches were used at her Baby Shower, they weren't gold then though, so I love that it's been used since she was in my belly. Although I've added to it year by year.

The CAKE!

This  wasn't the cake we intended to have, but once she saw it (without the lashes, ears and horn) she had to have it! I'm so glad she went with this one though, it was the best cake... tasted like a wedding cake, and as a previous wedding coordinator- I'm pretty much a cake connoisseur- I've tasted a lot of good cakes (and not so good, too)

I cannot believe my girl is NINE, now. I have a nine year old... oh my!
And then, next year she'll be in double digits... oh em gee.
Birthday's are so bittersweet,
 I love seeing her grow and turn into such a little lady- yet at the same time
 I cannot believe she's a little lady!
I think I say this every year, but please time slow down.

Magical Time with Mommy on the Eve of turning NINE

Since her birthday fell on a Monday this year, 

we decided to have an "on the Eve" day celebration Sunday.

A twist on our "Mommy and Miss Priss Day" we did a...

We made a special list of things she wanted to do,

got dressed and went on our magical way...

The biggest thing she wanted to do for her birthday was to get her ears pierced... 

A few months ago Justice, her favorite place (sorry Target), 

announced they were offering services for such. A part of me really wanted to take her to the same place I went when I got my ears pierced because I thought that would be such a sweet thing to share,

 but I know how much she loves Justice so that's where we went!

(she's squinting because it was sprinkling)

Waiting...

Sitting in the chair, and we brought along something to squeeze!

'Twinkles' 

Ears PIERCED!

She did so so good, I was proud! No tears, no scream... nothing! She's definitely braver than her Momma... I can't remember exactly how old I was when I got mine done (hello Mommy Brain), but I know I was not nine... I was definitely in double digits.

After getting her ears pierced we did a little shopping since after all we were in Justice!

Did you even shop if you didn't try on a pair of silly sunnies?

Looking at her newly pierced ears!

We could not leave the store without these cute bow earrings...

Leaving Justice a new girl with pierced ears and the cutest little earrings to wear in SIX weeks!

Our next stop was another favorite place of hers...

PARTY CITY

I let her pick out candy and also picked up a few things for her party, too!

Surprisingly, I did not take a single picture.

Up next was Target, well actually the Starbucks in Target...

Checking off things from our list...

Did a little shopping in Target and then we went back home!

It was a memorable day with my girl!
