Fairy Ball

Portia and I went to the Paseo Fairy Ball on Saturday night! It's an annual festival held in the Paseo Arts District here in OKC, where everyone dresses up, and they have a dance and face painting and flowers, all fairy themed. Basically every little girl's dream.

Portia had been anticipating this for weeks. She would wake up every morning and ask "Sounds like we're going to the fairy ball today?"

Here are our costumes:

I made our tutus, and Portia thought she was the luckiest girl in the world.

This year, the Fairy Ball was a little different.  It's usually held in a large field, but because of the recent rain, it was moved into several small shops in Paseo. It was crowded and stuffy, but fun nonetheless.

Portia didn't like being shoved around in the buildings, so we spent most of our time running around outside, looking at all the other fairies.

Afterward, we went to Braum's for some bright blue ice cream. I think the people in the restaurant thought we were nuts. We didn't care.

It was a fun night.
