Hey Jen!
great pictures of Claire and the dress is really cute. I hope Michael agrees to do the family shot; I have a really hard time getting Dayne to take pictures. But, than he has to the nerve to ask why he is not in any of the shots?!? BOYS!

That is a great dress! I am just starting to try and figure out what we will wear for our photoshoot... my dad doesn't want to do black, which I understand, but it's something everyone looks good in, and it looks good in black and white shots... I'm going to start looking this week.

Thanks. I texted him about doing it, and he has yet to answer...24 hours later.

Thanks. I actually copied a family that posted pics from theres. I just loved how the colors turned out.

Welcome

Typical guy not wanting to have his picture taken lol

Well I hope you can at least get one of Paige & Claire then ! One of them walking hand in hand would be soo pretty !!

Can't wait to see them !

Yep. I texted him last night and told him that Paige was coming over Thursday night for a few shots with her and Claire, and I would like him too, but he has yet to respond back.

Today we got a little Magical mail from the Princesses for Claire...Thanks to Brook.
Claire was very excited. She kept saying, "they are my friends, and they want me to know they are thinking of me".

I also took some pictures today of things I will be bring along as princess/character gifts for Claire. If you can remember, I had mentioned we did this last trip and it was a hit. Each morning she would wake up to a note and a little gift.

I bought these off ebay awhile ago. They are little Cinderella coach charms for a necklace. I read about these in another TR. You can then go to Epcot and do the pick a pearl and put the pearl inside. So I got one for Claire and one for me and it will be given on Epcot day, so we can then each pick a pearl together.

Here are other random things I have been picking up when on sale or clearance.

This is the Tiana dress I bought over the summer. I hope it fits. I planned to give this one to her on her b-day of we go in Dec. I got a 6-6x, but she has really grown and some things she wears now are size 7.

These are nightgowns.

And you can't see it well, but in this package on the right side it has a dew drop necklace.

Excuse the mess. I keep all these things hidden away in one of the unused bedrooms upstairs. I have stuff stored in there from Paige's graduation party and a zillion empty boxes I should get rid of.

I am kinda obsessing over the Coach necklace! I may buy some and steal your idea! My friend Jenna would flip! She is going to be like a kid in a candy store I can feel it! She has never done Disney the "proper" way. She doesn't really know what she is getting herself into with my BFF Brianne and I lol. I did the pearl at one of the water parks years ago, 2001 I think. My mom and her friend did it at the CBR WAAAAAAY back in the day too.

 

[brookelizabeth]

I'm so glad she enjoyed the postcard from the Princesses. I was honored to send it on to her from the Ladies.

As I mentioned on my TR, sorry about the mess of the state the writing was in! The whole story is over there.

I love all the gifts you have gotten her! She is going to have some wonderful surprises waiting for her. I hope the dress fits! I know the Disney Store still has them, could you still return it and get a bigger size?

I was obsessed too. I read it on Rinky tinky's report (I have seen her around the boards lately) quite awhile ago and ordered them right then and there. They were really cheap too. I think it was less than $10 for the 2 of them including shipping. I've seen pick a pearls all over, but I have never actually done one, since I never wanted to pay to get them mounted. Now I have something it will pop right in to.

I haven't read the story yet, I'll read it next. But it was exciting, and Claire doesn't care what the writing looks like anyways.
I got the dress on ebay from Mrs. B. There are no returns. I have debated on trying to resell it and get the next size up.

 

[that's nice]

Wow.. you've been busy on the shopping front! LOL

Love the pic of Claire checking out her post card! Too cute!

I have bought these things over several months though. And most for very cheap. I'm a bargain hunter. My one friend said she wants to follow me around the stores so she can find stuff like I do.
The Toy Story Barbie was only $3! I think it was regularly $15, but Kroger had them on major clearance, so I picked up several to give as gifts.

 

[brookelizabeth]

Ooooh, that's a bummer about the eBay purchase!! I bet you could get a decent price if you decide to sell it, being it's so close to Halloween.

Great job on the bargain hunting! $3 is awesome for that Barbie!!!!

Hi Jen,
I'm new to joining the boards and was lucky to find your posts. Still trying to catch up on your newest PTR, and then will go backwards to read your other reports.

Your photographs are beautiful, and so is your family. I miss those days when my daughter was young and would dress up. I also like to take pictures, especially when we go to Disneyland. Hope that Skip gets well so your family can go this December.

Welcome to the Dis!! So glad to meet you!
Thanks for joining in too. I sure hope we make it in Dec, but if not ,then hopefully in March. My mom has mentioned if Skip isn't feeling well enough, maybe her, Claire and I can go on a trip to California instead sometime...which will of course include DL.

The cards are so nice. Claire also got one from another Dis friend about a year ago. It was right after she had her tonsils out and the card said something like, hoipe you are feeling better. She was very excited that they knew she had them out.

Welcome,! Thanks for joining. Now are you the Diser that used to be someone else and then after not being here awhile, you account became deactivaed? I know the name, but can't spell it. LOL! I believe you read my other TR too, right?
If you aren't...then just ignore me and call me crazy! Everyone else I know does!

What cute little goodies you've collected for Claire. I have seen the coach pearl cages on Ebay too. I think I'll probably order one before our next trip. I think my favorite item is the Tiana dress. I'll keep my fingers crossed that it will fit.

A girl's trip to Disneyland can be a lot of fun. I've been doing that with my daughter since she was in preschool. My husband couldn't always get the time off from work. Did you know that DL just recently opened Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique? If you have any questions about DL feel free to ask me, and I'll do my best to answer them.

I think it will fit, but be shorter than I was hoping it to be. Her dang legs are soo long. And unfortunately, won't last for a couple of years like I had hoped.
Claire tried on the white Ariel dress she has worn on other trips the other day and it was like a min dress and the sleeves were so tight, that her arms stuck straight out. I was laughing so hard I had a hard time getting it off her. I may try to list it on ebay. I should check and see what they are going for. I could save it for my neice, but we have so many dresses, and she might not be very girly. Her older sister isn't at all.

Yes, I am subscribe to a DL BBB thread! We definitely would do it if we go...well if Claire still wants to.

I have to just tell you all how much I love my new phone. It's really paying off having it.
About 2 weeks ago, I had to drive Skip up into Michigan, about an hour away to get a part inpected for his pulling tractor. He knew how to get there, but only going through a city and then doing a little backtracking. So on the way home I typed in our address in the GPS, and we go home so much faster, and esier. He was impressed!
Then when we were at a tracotr pull, I went to the offical website, and we could keep track with live updates on how everyone was placing. He cmae in 6th that pull and he was excited to know it before most others did.
ON Sunday, my mom took me and my sister, Aunt and Uncle and nieces to breakfeast. I rode along with mom in her car. After we ate, she wanted to go to Gymboree to shop. She wanted to get some outfits for the girls to have at her house. She ended up getting Claire a couple of outfits for our house too. Anyways, I told her "dang, if I had known we were coming here, I could've printed off the 20% off coupon I got in my email"...then the light when on I have access to my email on my phone..so I brought it up and at check out the lady was able to use the code and get an additional 20% off everything. YAY!
