daddy daughter dance 2011

The best time during the winter!! My mom, Kira's Nana has made her dress every year since she was 4. This year's creation is amazing and such a pretty color for my princess!! Kira picked the material and the dress pattern. I think she did a good job! Mom did pretty good too!! LOL

Here she is without the jacket. Kira's arms get cold in a short sleeve dress (found that out the hard way one year) But it is so pretty I have to take a picture of it without the jacket.

Here she is with her daddy!! Amazingly enough, he had a shirt that matched her dress perfectly. Doesn't show that too well in the picture but it is the same color in real life!!

Every princess needs a fur cape and muff to keep her warm in New England in February!! Another Nana creation!!

Me and my girl!! She is getting so tall on me!! I'd like to say I was sitting down or something but she is catching up to me!!

Back of her hair. No it's not professionally done, but for not being trained, I got it up and curled for her. And it is coated in glitter mist!! She sparkles from head to toe!

I finally decided this year to send the camera with hubby so he can take pictures of Kira with all her friends at the dance!! Not sure why I hadn't thought of it before. Better late than never!!

I have now started working on my PTA scrapping goodies basket for our Turn Off TV week basket raffle. I am working on an exploding box and making some headway. I have gotten all the layers done. See previous days for the two outer layers. I am working on the inside layer, inside panels. I need to do two more panels before I can show them off. But I am working!! Thanks for the pep talk Alien. You are too kind. (((hugs))) across the country! Love you girl!

Hoping to post some pictures tomorrow of the penguin layouts I finally got done and the inside layer!! Crossing fingers!!
