Traylor Park Princess

Lilly loves princesses and loves to play dress up. So, when she asked Santa for dress up dresses I wasn't surprised. She specifically asked Santa for a purple dress and a blue dress. He assured her that he would get to work on those dresses as soon as he returned to his shop. Imagine if you will how excited she was on Christmas morning to find that Santa had not only left dresses, but also an entire trunk of dress up items. There were dresses, skirts, sparkly tops, shoes, jewelery and a tiara. Lilly dove into the box and began pulling everything out. The magic of Christmas shone in her eyes as she pulled out the purple dress to show Bryan and I. We couldn't have been happier, she was so excited. Then, a moment later she crushed us when she turned to Bryan and asked, "Santa's still working on the blue one?" Santa fail.
But, Lilly has since forgotten all about the blue dress. (It helped that she already had a blue dress up dress that we now store in the dress up trunk.) She plays with the items in her dress up trunk all of the time, and there are often dresses scattered all over the living room and some times the house.
She also uses the dresses to pretend to do laundry. I know, I know...if she wants to do laundry I have plenty she could do. Here she is sorting her laundry. I know that she has learned this laundry thing from watching me, but I assure you: I don't wear silver sparkled shoes to wash cloths. Not to mention I typically have on pants while I do my housework.
In true traylor park fashion Lilly displays her wedding attire. Please note: The skirt is inside out, she's only wearing one purple heel and she is never without her trusty wife beater undershirt.
Here is Lilly in full princess attire. Purple velvet and satin gown? Check. Gawdy jewelry? Check. Magic wand? Check. Wife beater and purple heels? Double check. Hair done? Ummm....no.
