Beauty & the Beast

 
So excited to see Caroline!
 
The Beast & Belle
 
Trying to wake up the Beast
 
2 Cinderellas & Santa watching Beauty & the Beast

We got to Douglasville on Wednesday night & Matt, Natalie & Caroline didn't arrive until Thursday morning, so it was a long wait for Daniel & Laura Ann. They have been looking forward to seeing Caroline for quite a while & were beside themselves when she finally arrived. I would say they spent 75% of our 2 day visit playing Beauty & the Beast. Caroline was Belle, Daniel was the Beast & Laura Ann said she was Snow White. I'm not sure how Snow White fit into the story, but as always, Laura Ann did her very best to keep up & fit in with the older two, which sometimes resulted in a quarrel. Bless her heart- maybe she'll get to be Belle next time! The girls were constantly changing in & out of all of the princess dresses & Daniel kept a blanket around for the Beast's cape. My favorite part was when the Beast would go into his deep sleep & it usually took a while for Belle & Snow White to wake him! :) Daniel thought it would be fun to play Santa, so he of course had to have something to wear. He came up with Laura Ann's red coat & his black socks. I asked him about red pants & he said he was just going to pretend he was wearing them- works for me! He also filled a pillowcase with toys, but Caroline & Laura Ann weren't too big on waiting for him to decide when it was time to pass them out! What a fun Thanksgiving. They are already looking forward to playing with Caroline at Christmas!
