Cora's Big Fun Day

We had such a great day on Saturday, especially Cora! It really was a big day for her. We started off with a relaxing morning after a good night sleep for everyone (thankfully!).

Cora and I then headed downtown to see Disney on Ice, the Princess Show. I waited to tell Cora about it until the week before, and that whole week was filled with questions.... Will Belle be there? Will Ariel be there? Will Cinderella be there? Pretty cute. Cora wore her princess dress... and a warm coat, and was so excited. She didn't want to look around or anything before the show, just wanted to find our seats and wait for it to get started! It was hard to get a good picture of her, her eyes were glued to the ice even before anything started happening on the stage.

It was a fun show, and it was pretty cute. Cora loved it, and watched it intensely the whole time. When it was done, it was snowing really heavy outside! I was glad we had scored a great parking spot and didn't have to walk in the blizzard very far at all.
Next we were off to a birthday party for cousins Aubriel and Brianna. I didn't take my camera in, but it was a really fun time. Due to the heavy snow (up at Suncrest), I just stayed and watched. They had a magician come, and it was a hoot to watch the kids faces as he performed his tricks. Cora was most impressed by a balloon popping and turning into a bird and loved petting the bunny. Luckily, they had plowed the roads during the party, and we didn't slip at all on our way home.

Cora was so worn out by this point, but so hungry too, we stopped for a quick hamburger, but she couldn't keep her eyes open long enough to eat it! I tried to take it away for it wouldn't spill, but that just made her angry. She just wanted to hold it and sleep.

It was still snowing lots at our house too, and Kevin took the girls out to play in the snow. Wow, it took quite a while even just getting them geared up! Cora had a blast playing with Kevin, Violet kept saying 'Don't like it! don't like it!'. Sh didn't want to go in, but she didn't want to walk in it, she just wanted to be held! It'll b interesting to see if she still doesn't like it when she might not be as tired or if we can go out when it's not still snowing and blowing in her face a bit.
Of course, they were so excited to go out, all we got were blurry pictures!

Sounds like a fun and busy saturday. Thats good you were able to get good parking spots and get to all the places you needed to with the snow storm. It snowed a lot in Ogden. I remember going to Disney on Ice when I was little, it was a lot of fun. It sounds like Cora really enjoyed it. It was great to see you guys on Sunday.

That's so fun. Lacey's husband took the girls too. I heard it was fabulous. Glad Cora was able to go. They sure look cute in their snow clothes!

I heard that Disney on Ice was a great show, so I'm glad you and Cora were able to go enjoy it. What a fun day for her.

I was just noticing how you're almost 32 weeks....crazy! I can't beleive how fast your pregnancy has gone. I hope you are still feeling okay. Hope to see you soon!

Sounds fun. Sarah and Benjamin went to Disney on Ice a few weeks back and Benjamin LOVED it. He loved the blue guys (Genie's) that came out of the Zamboni machine.

How fun! What a cute picture of Cora enjoying the show with amazement. I love Violet's face in the snowsuit picture of the girls!
