Can we say 'princess obsession'?

So Malia is a total girl...through and through. She wants to play Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, or Cinderella...or any other princess, EVERY single day. She will be very persistent about it until someone finally gives in and plays with her...and does it at least 8 times before they can find some excuse to break away. I love playing with her, but it can wear on me sometimes doing the same thing over and over and over. Her 'princess playing' consists of you each taking turns being the princess while the other person is the prince, and you either eat a poison apple and collapse onto the floor, or you prick your finger on a spinning wheel and collapse onto the bed (and don't forget to hold your flowers). Then your handsome prince comes and falls deeply in love with you and gives you you a kiss that wakes you up and you ride off to your castle together and live happily ever after. Then we switch roles and do it again. Then switch to the other princess and do it again...and again...and again! She is quite the dramatic little lady. Maybe we should get her into acting or something. Which, by-the-way, she loves to sing...and especially the 'Ariel' song, where the Sea Witch is taking her voice and putting it into the magic seashell...Malia is our little opera singer. It's amazing how loud she can get too!
Anyway, so here are a few short videos of Malia suckering Grandpa into playing Snow White with her. She is explaining to him how to play correctly...and Grandpa is trying to get out of doing it...it's quite entertaining!

Oh, and just an update, we are pretty sure now that we are going to get this house in West Jordan now. It's taking forever because it is a bank owned property...but I think we are safe to say that we will get the house. I won't be 100% certain this time until we close and have the keys in hand, but still! It will probably be about 2-3 weeks at most till we can close, then a week or 2 at most to do a little cleaning, paint, and carpet before we can move in...but I can't wait. I'll let you all know for sure when we know for sure. It will be nice to be in our own house (finally) and not have to live out of boxes anymore! It took me a while to find the camera so I still haven't got any of our Christmas pictures posted yet, and haven't taken any since Christmas either - until these videos today anyway! Anyway, hope you all had a great new years! Enjoy!

What a cute little princess! You really need to come over for a princess play date. I'm free any day but Wednesday's. Let me know. :-)

BYW, I think it's funny that Cole's nickname is "dude," because that is Steven's as well. :-)

Cam Ballou

I hope you get the house - it will work out. Bummer that the one by us fell through!

Damaris

Congrats on the house. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you that it all goes well.

Malia's fascination with princesses sounds familiar. All the girls up here love princesses, so Gordon is practiced at being the Prince. We just have them pick something other than a kiss to wake the princess up!

The King's

That was very entertaining!!! What a good grandpa Lee is.
Also good luck with the house, i hope everything works out!

Bethie

is it a HUD home or just a bank owned?

if it is a HUD home ( government owned) it can take A LOT longer *** we bought our last home that way and it took us 2 full months to get into it - the gov't take FOREVER!!!

good luck and congratulations

Jamie

You should have her come over to play with Kayla more often. They could spend hours playing princess as Kayla does that too.

Deanna
