Transformations

 Today happened to be a school holiday and Lydia's actual birthdate, so we had planned a couple months ago to go to Disneyland.  What the girls didn't know was that I had booked appointments for them at Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique to get them all princess-ed up.  So, after Lydia's 7 year old well child exam, I busted out the dresses of their favorite princesses and they changed in the patient room.  They didn't know we were going to the boutique until we physically walked into the store and I told them they were going to be all made up.  Even though they didn't show it, we could totally tell that they were thoroughly enjoying themselves.  Lydia asked if it was free, no, my dear, but it was worth every penny.  :)

 The entire process took about an hour per child.  Fortunately, Sophie got started with another stylist halfway through Lydia's session.

 This hairdo reminds me of the little Siamese kids from "The King and I"

 First, Lydia wanted her extensions in black to match her hair and to look more like Jasmine, then she wanted blonde to have her friend Mia's hair color, but then finally settled on pink after seeing the girl next to her get pink.  Plus, what other time will she ever get to have pink hair?

 From my little girl to a royal princess (which she already was in my book)!

 Introducing Princesses Sophie and Lydia

 Sophie's stylist didn't think her hair would stay very well because it is so fine, but Sophie was happy with how it turned out.  Some of her hair did start coming out later in the day, but no one really noticed.

 Lydia and Trung went on Space Mountain a couple of times with Fastpasses, so Sophie and I found rides with short lines.  I was pleasantly surprised how short the wait times were for all the rides thinking that everyone would be at Disneyland for the Rosh Hashanah school holiday.

 Lydia found out the day before at school that her good friend Sydney was going to be at Disney too, so her mom and I texted back and forth and we were able to finally meet up for a quick show before they had to leave.
