disney on ice

We were spoiled again this year by Grandma and Papa with tickets to see Disney on Ice at the Allen Events Center. We love this tradition of a family Christmas date, and it's always a win when you start at In-N-Out. 

Of course it's my kid who poses with her grilled cheese sandwich, haha. 

These kids are so spoiled!!  They all wanted to wear princess dresses, and since Colby didn't want to be left out, he chose to wear his Spiderman costume :)

The show was amazing, but was a bit darker than years past with the story of Aurora. When the huge dragon came out, complete with real fire on the ice, Aubrey and Brooke grabbed for each other and held their hug until the dragon was off stage.  It was the sweetest thing, and thankfully the hug lasted a while so I could catch a picture.

Three pretty princesses who are also best friends.

When Colby saw these pictures, he couldn't understand why he wasn't in them.  I reminded him that he was sitting by Papa, and that it wasn't intentional, but he seemed pretty hurt by it :/ I told him that next time he should just ask to be in the picture.  He might always be the only boy, but he still wants to be included in everything.

The kids were pretty good about showing their gratitude to Grandma and Papa, which was good because it was definitely a huge privilege to go to a show like that!  When I found out how much they have been paying for these tickets, I made sure to voice my opinion that we don't have to come every year.  It's been fun the past three years, but definitely not a NEED.
