So I'm a princess. I admit it. I always have been. I actually never wore jeans until I was 12. I wouldn't. I used to run around in my dresses and a pair of shorts underneath. I played all sorts of sports and climbed trees, road my bike... everything.
But I was always a princess first. Years later.. and I'm still in this mind set. I can't shake it! I can't even begin to tell you how many people have teasingly commented that I was just like Giselle from the Disney movie Enchanted. Eeeh! Except i take that as a MAJOR compliment! LOL! I know some people might not, but I am a princess, so of course I do.
Well, as a princess, I have to do princess things right? I mean, it's only natural. So I feel it's my duty to host an annual ball every year.I used to sit around and wait and dream for my ball invite. Then about three years ago, I decided I was tired of waiting and dreaming of one day getting to go to the ball with my prince, i wanted to do something about it. So I started having my own balls!
So there you have it. I've been slaving away this past month preparing for my Enchanted Yuletide Ball... 200 invitations, decor, food prep and planning, dress, tiaras... LOL! Yes, I'm a crazy princess, remember?
Last year we had over 200 people show up to this black tie affaire! Wahoo! This year we're expecting more! This is the couple who it was in honor of... they're starting off the ball with the first dance. Everyone else is behind them.
This is proof! Guys like balls too! Hehehe! My hubby is the totally hot redhead giving a thumbs up sign! Our next annual ball is Saturday! Eeeh! I can't wait!
So here it is! Proof that my hubby and I actually hosted our third annual ball! These are my two sister out-laws who came to help us celebrate! The best thing about living in Europe for me right now, is that half of my family lives over here too!
Meet, Domi--the left of me--my Dutch out-law, and Becky to the right of me--my American, living in England out-law! My lil' brothers live in Holland and England! LOL!
Here is my hunka, hunka, burnin' love! Isn't he hot ( i mean HAWT) in his tux??? Eeeh! And yes, my hubby really is as sweet as he looks. I'm the ornery one! LOL! Poor guy.
Here's me with two of my lil' brothers. We're the three oldest in the fam... LOL! So of course, we consider ourselves the coolest! Brendon is to the left of me--he lives in Holland! And Trent--the one i've posted about lots lately, lives in England.. and yeah, he only has half a face... guess that'll lead to more issues! Hehehee! (Oh! And both of these guys are super tall! you have no idea how far they're bending over to take this pic with me! LOL! I LOVE sibling torture!
Meet my oldest, Dalen (Scottish, pronounced Dallin) This was our "Bulter" for the evening. He took everyone's coats and kept clearing the trash! LOL! Over 150 people... we created a lot of trash! Poor guy! He got the most compliments out of everyone and people actually gave him gifts after the ball! Isn't he so cute--he's also my future photographer--and took most of these pics! Oh yeah, and in case you're wondering... I do believe in slave labor! LOL!
Here's Brendon and Dominique burning up the floor. All of my family LOVES to dance... that's why you won't find many pics of Mark and I, we were never still long enough! LOL! Oh! But there is proof that we did dance... if you look closely on the left... that is my hubby's hand and my hair! LOL!
Here's Bren and Domi again, I LOVE this photo so I had to post it! Look! Four kids later and they're still smiling!
This is a hilarious spoof, some of my singles put together! LOL! Just for the record, we're really boring... we don't drink! LOL! What they're holding is sparkling cider! LOL! It's all we had at the ball, oh and real American lemonade! The Brits idea of lemonade is diet Sprite. Not kidding! LOL! We had to show them how it's really done!
This is soon to be the Swepsons... they're getting married on New Year's Eve. Cute date for a anniversary, huh? We love these guys! They're soo cool! 
Here are the Barrons! Some of the most funniest Brits ever! And our neighbors! Well, there you have it! Pics of my Enchanted Yuletide Ball! It was super fun! And we really had a blast! I can't wait until I move to Provo and get to host balls there! Wahoo!
