Jessica's Princess Party

Before we left for Spring Break, I sent out evites for this Princess Party and then put it out of my mind.

Simply maneuvering the days of a vacation and meeting 5 people's needs without losing one's mind, money, momentum and memory is a major accomplishment. After doing this for 11 days, I was ready to relax.

On the way home from California, Brad dropped Jessie and I off at my sister Tanya's house in Windsor Co and he proceeded to travel home with the boys to return to school and work. We shopped for 3 days, watched movies and went out to lunch. Jessie and Lauren, of course, came along wherever we went. What a beautiful relationship for our daughters.

I planned to help Tanya with her kids drive to KC for her Spring Break. Her and my parents would then travel to Greg's home in Georgia to welcome their 3rd girl, Sara. Due to a late Winter Colorado snow storm, we ended up leaving one day after we planned and it just so happened that Jessie came down with a fever and threw up the night before we left. Typical for a road trip---some kid gets sick!!!

After arriving home late Thursday night, I needed to complete a long list of tasks EVEN BEFORE thinking about the party. Of course after EVERY vacation, I get bad headaches, mostly caused by let-down and withdrawal from caffeine, which I use medicinally to survive vacations.I fought a headache for 3 days, but managed to get ready for Jessie's princess party.

Lauren is the ultimate PRINCESS and wears a disney dress almost everyday so how appropriate for her to be at this party. Tanya dug out our wedding dress that 3 of us Evans girls wore and practically forced me to put it on!  Since I have no PRIDE, I did and had a blast being a grown-up princess.
 Oh the joys of having a daughter.
