Belle's Ball

Saturday the Foundation of Arts hosted their fundraiser, "Belle's Ball", featuring the cast of the upcoming Beauty and the Beast production.

So why is my first picture here of Kellen in her softball uniform? Because despite having had these tickets for weeks, Kellen asked to go to her softball game that night instead of Belle's Ball! Her team was in a tournament this weekend and they kept advancing, so an unexpected game Sat. night conflicted with the Ball. We were proud of her for keeping her commitment to the team, and she really had fun playing!

So, Owen was the lucky recipient of her extra ticket! He is going to the play with us in a couple weeks, and because of the influence of two older sisters, he enjoys a little princess stuff, too!

Belle and the other cast members were so friendly to all the kids. Peyton had a good little group of girlfriends that were also at the Ball. Here she is with Layla and Eva Grace.

There was a band, and they sure danced the night away! The kids loved it!

What cuties! Layla, Eva Grace and Peyton together again!

After awhile, even Owen got in on the action, and once the dancing bug hit him, he didn't want to stop!

Lots of twisting and jumping going on!
Peyton loved dancing with Belle! I'm afraid she dominated Belle's time most of the night!

We were fed dinner and there was a dessert bar as well, which my kids took full advantage of! I told them they could have whatever they wanted since it was a "special night". Apparently Owen just wanted to lick the icing off of about 5 cupcakes!

The five friends--Layla, Eva Grace, Peyton, Abby & Lucy. They all went to pre-school together, and really are a great group of girls!
