So lovely. Both of them.

I am jealous. I can't walk in heels to save my life. It's the one skill that's eluded me.....(well,one if many) Those shoes are drool worthy!

Amylou, I spent my life wearing heels to work. I worked in an office that had a dress code, which included "skirt/heels/hose". Yes, heels. No open toes. Pantyhose always, never bare legs. The male attorneys were required to wear suits and ties. Heck, I could run in 4 inch heels, LOL.

The Princess is just learning about heels, she asked for band aids before she left, the shoes were already rubbing on the back of her feet. She says the girls all take their shoes off to dance, so it would be all right, LOL.

In my early 20's I had the heck of a time finding shoes to wear to my cousin's wedding. My dress was a confection of bronze with ecru lace. My best friend pulled out a pair of bronze 4" stiletto baby dolls that she'd gotten from another friend who got them from a thrift shop or something. Eeew, right? But they fit perfectly, looked perfect, looked new and I was wearing hose anyway. I could not only waltz in them, I could do horas and polkas and other even livelier dances, safely. Those were magic angel shoes...

But I'm really glad those gorgeous sparkle strappies aren't going to be danced in. ;)

The girls are lovely. You're very lucky.

What lovely young girls! I remember when the Monkey Princess was still just a thought- wow does that make me feel old :-)

Your Mom reminds me a lot of DH’s Mum, same size, similar hair, similar smile

How the years fly by!

They sure do! She was a little toddler when I joined here. The girls look great; hope they had lots of fun!

I hope the dance was everything she wished for and more!!!

Wow, I first 'met' her when she was a toddler. She's so adept in the kitchen thanks to you. I'm looking forward to seeing the wee-est one grow up now. (Macey?) I think it starts with an M, and I don't think Madi is the youngest.

I wish that you haven't post this, Annie. Thanks, but no thanks.

The next generation is getting more beautiful and smarter so fast, and we are getting dumb and dumber, older and uglier even faster.

Where is my walker? I can't remember. I had it just a minute ago.

I am so depressed!

dcarch :-) :-)

Oh, she's grown up too fast! I joined after the toddler years, but have watch her develope over the years. Far too fast. Both girls are beautiful!

Yes, she's grown up way too fast, plus she's 5'8", far taller than me, taller than her Mother and obviously taller than my Mother who is 4'8" (almost). I haven't talked to the girls this morning, but they are both good girls, good students, involved in school activities, and neither have boyfriends so they just went together. They go to different schools and it was Makayla's Snowcoming, so she even made a "promposal" to KayLynn, something connected with Gray's Anatomy that I didn't understand but the girls thought it was hysterical, LOL.

Dcarch, I'll help you find your walker, as soon as I find my glasses. Oddly enough, I need my glasses to FIND my glasses. (sigh)

Colleen, she still has the little kangaroo you sent her and Bud has the blue blanket.

FOAS, just wait, your turn is coming. BTW, I hope your DW is doing well, she's in my prayers daily.

Jasdip, you are thinking of Maci, and she's a force to be reckoned with. I can't even imagine her as a teenager. She was at my house a couple of days ago, Madi helped me bake bread and Maci protected their new shelter/rescue dog from my bad fat cat:

Madonna, it seems like not very long ago when you joined here, and I think I first "met" you on Harvest. It goes fast.

Laceyvail, I remember when her Mother was buying dresses, and it seems like just yesterday. Now, here we are.

Plllog, I am very lucky indeed...

Annie

Sweet!

And remember when it wasn't 'uncool' to wear sheer stockings/hose? I do not understand why it became so fashionable not to. They sure make dressy shoes a lot more comfortable.

Beautiful beautiful! No way at her age I could've worn those heels! And now, I can't (or won't?!) wear them, LOL! I do remember one occasion I foolishly wore high heels on my motorcycle to work at a dress shop (I was 'stolen' by the boss from my other job, a snack bar which I loved... hated that dress shop!). She's such a lovely young lady... I know you must be incredibly proud of her : )

Maci is elvishly adorable with the cute pooch!

Oh, sigh. I remember the days of office dress codes too, and I could work all day in heels, shop all day in heels, dance all night and never gave it another thought. I didn't go to bed with aching feet, either. Thank goodness I did not inherit my mothers feet and have no problems with them now. But these days, a wedge is about as high as I go and I spend most days in Dansko - or my back hurts!

Annie, she's so pretty and way too grown up. I hope the girls had a good time. And I don't know either how one can wear new strappy shoes against bare feet - where did the stockings go. With some freckes, discolorations and a little scar or two, I'm looking forward to the day they come back into style.

Oh my gosh, a little trip down Memory Lane! Thank you so much for sharing these sweet photos!

Va Va Voom for sure!! I remember when you were aghast at being a grandmother and we were making jokes about "Grannie Annie"....see how easy it is!?
And onward to Great Grannie Annie....but let's not rush it!

Oh Annie, time moves too swiftly! I remember "meeting" Makayla when she was maybe 10 months old and you were both trying Gefilte Fish! LOL! Both girls are so pretty and so sophisticated, it's criminal. We have to figure out a way to slow them down! Really they look adorable!

I like the way she did her hair, and it fits in so well with the dress and shoes. It all combines to look so joyful.

I blinked and she grew up. She (*they) look lovely.
