My Princess Story

The name, Sarah, literally means princess. Since birth, Sarah has always been our princess. She is now 5 years old and has worn her princess attire everyday for about 3 years. As shown in the picture, she has well loved her clothes as they are tattered and torn.

Sarah wore the same princess dress everyday for over a year. It was a pink sleeping beauty dress. I would have to take it off her after she was asleep just to wash it. All of our family and friends saw how much she loved being a princess and started giving her more princess dresses and princess themed gifts for birthdays and Christmas. We even found some of her favorite outfits at yard sales and feel blessed for they are her treasures.

Currently, she has no favorite, but loves to be each princess: Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, Snow White, Belle, Ariel, Jasmine, Tinkerbelle, etc with all the shoes, tiaras, necklaces, bracelets, and earrings to accessorize. Every night we read from either a Princess story book, song book, or even coloring book. The pages have many times been taped and mended from the wear. It gives us joy to see that these books are so loved.

She sleeps in her princess sheets and comforter and colors on her princess table and chairs. When we go camping as a family she has her princess sleeping bag, flashlight, and backpack. She plays mommy with her princess stroller, baby carrier, baby swing, diaper bag and back pack. She plays tea party with her sleeping beauty tea party set and will always dress up her two brothers in all her princess attire. It is funny when her 4 year old brother comes down stairs all dressed up like Cinderella, and Sarah says, "Isn't he beautiful!"

This past Christmas she was given a Princess Castle for her room. Many nights she'll get out of bed and we'll find her in the morning asleep in her castle. We painted her room two shades of pink and purple to match her castle. All her friends love to come over and play dress up and imagine they live in a castle. Many dragons have been slain and handsome princes have come to the rescue to wake the beautiful princesses.

Sarah has definitely lived up to her names sake. She loves being a princess and playing dress up. We know it would be a dream come true for Sarah to experience the magic of Disney and actually meet the Princesses. Being from Kentucky, it is difficult to drive the long distance with a 5 year old, a 4 year old, a 2 year old, and a baby on the way; and too expensive to fly. We hope you seriously consider Princess Sarah for this contest. We know the joy and memories would last a life time. Thank you for this amazing opportunity.
