A few months ago, not really knowing what to expect, but knowing that this event sold out the first day last year, I signed her up the second I heard about it. In fact, I fudged her birth date by 11 days so she would make the 3 year old age requirement. {BA, I know!}
Last Sunday afternoon, Jordyn {along with 70 other girls} went to 'Glitterazzi.' When I dreamt of becoming a girl mama, these are the events I was picturing. Glitter & Sparkle everything. plus a whole lot more! The theme this year was Frozen {last year, the first year they held it, it was Tangled}. The girls went to different stations and then took their photo with Elsa. She got her hair and makeup done, her nails painted, and an airbrush tattoo. Then she made a crown and sang/danced with Elsa. Afterwards she got to take a photo with Elsa {if I had known how she was going to react, I would have video taped it! She has been afraid of all characters in the past {Santa, Easter Bunny, Disney characters, etc.} so I expected the same thing, but she ended up RUNNING up to here and hugging her! It was so sweet!} Then she had a little coronation ceremony and was given a ring pop to take home! :) She's been talking about meeting Elsa ever since! Worth every cent of the $35 I paid! :)

| 'Before' |
 |
| aren't these balloons adorable?! |
 |
| SO MANY girls! The lines moved pretty quickly though! |
 |
| She picked the lightest shade of shadow they had -- daddy would be proud! :) |
 |
| Here comes the beginning of many tired smiles/eyes photos! She was so excited she couldn't fall asleep for her nap ahead of time, so she was a TIRED girl by the end! |
 |
| My personal favorite part of the day! :) |
 |
| Clearly most girls wore princess costumes. I'm pretty sure the only princess J knows is Elsa/Ana since that's the only movie she's seen. We don't haven't character anything at our house...and I'm 100% okay with that! :) |
 |
| This is actually a really good picture of the hair. I must admit {while I don't really care, because Jordyn was happy with it} the hair was the only thing I was really disappointed it. The front looked terrible! :( |
 |
| I was so proud she did this, I thought for sure the sound {& cold air} would freak her out! Just another reminder how much she's growing up! |
 |
| BEST part of the day! :) |
 |
| SO tired! |
Cully {& Aunt Ashley} got to enjoy the afternoon with us, too! :)

so many places we've been and things we've experienced around this city that I haven't even mentioned. I'm assuming others would like local suggestions.
*None of these places have any clue who I am or what this little blog is. I pay for our entrance/membership like any other customer and blog only my honest opinions.
