Dress up

Maribella and Finley were so excited to be able to have our sweet little princesses come over to play one evening.  Ainsley, Emma, and Gillian were coming over to let their mommy and daddy have a little grown up time.  We had a ball having a few extra girls in the house!  They promptly ran into Mari's room to put on some proper evening gowns.... and apparently Finley couldn't be caught underdressed, so he thought that a bee costume would suffice. 
This is Emma; she is 2 1/2 and absolutely adorable.  She has Maribella's independent personality and apparently lets her mom and dad know ALL about it!  But she is an absolute angel to me...  Look at those big brown eyes and dark curls; who could resist?  Oh yes, and every time Finley greets her he offers her a big embrace and plants a kiss directly on her cheek while she stands as stiff as a board... it is quite hilarious.   In fact she used to run from him crying whenever he approached her.  Is this a marriage in the makings; I dunno...
This is Gillian, she is 2 weeks older than Killian and she was none too happy that her momma left her with this crazy lady!  You can see her thinking, "get that stinkin' camera outta my face!"  She fought through tears and arched back for about an hour or so before relentlessly falling asleep on John's shoulder.... what a sweetie.
And precocious Ainsley is a princess in the making.  She never causes a fuss, but instead lives her fantasy being whatever princess she can imagine.  It has been so great for Maribella to get to know these sweeet girls; Maribella enjoys these times so much!
And who know what this bee is up to?  Karate... kick boxing... I'm not too sure

Wow! What cute children! They look like they have a lot of fun together. I do have to say when I saw that first picture of Maribella with the scarf on her head, I thought Channing had dressed up as a girl ~ they look so much alike! And Killian and Gillian (were those names planned on purpose?)
