- [Dave] What are you guys making over here?
- A cake!
- [Dave] A cake for what?
- [Ashley] Fairy Princess Celebration cake.
- Daddy?
- [Dave] Yeah?
- So today we're not actually going to
eat the cake right now.
We gotta wait until tonight, 'cause
tonight is our celebration.
We have to wait until after my
ballet recital.
They don't like each other.
(crosstalk and shouting)
- We're gonna have sprinkles and
princesses on top, and they're not just
any princesses, they're my
princess toys.
- [Dave] You're gonna put your toys
on the cake?
- Yeah!
(crosstalk)
- [Ashley] You gonna wash them first?
- We're gonna wash them first and
then put them on the cake.
(upbeat music)
- [Brother] Frosting!
- Frosting!
- You gotta open it!
- They're sprinkles.
- Sprinkles?
Ooh, that's awesome!
- [Ashley] Is it beautiful?
- I want to see it, too.
- [Ashley] You want to see the cake too?
- Uh-huh.
- [Ashley] Okay, come 'ere.
(laughs) I'll lift him, I'll lift him.
- What do you think?
- [Brother] Awesome!
- So I can look extra sparkly?
- [Ashley] Um hum.
- Can I pick my sparkles?
- [Ashley] Um hum.
- The white.
- [Ashley] OK.
- [Dave] When do you wear make up?
- Oh halloween and sometimes videos,
and recitals.
- [Dave] Recitals?
- Today is recital day, so I get make up.
- [Ashley] Recitals is the only day you
can overdue your blush, huh?
- You'll never need it for Castle
on a Cloud?
- [Ashley] Oh yeah, that was we did,
'cause you were pretending there was a
little dirt on your face, huh?
- Yeah.
- Why did you pretend there was a little
dirt on my face?
- [Dave] Cosette is like a poor girl that
has to do a lot of sweeping, and so, you're
doing some acting, and pretending to be
Cosette.
- [Ashley] Put your head up, baby
Yeah, leave your eyes just like that,
that's great.
- [Dave] Sissy has a ballet recital tonight.
You wanna go?
- No.
- [Dave] And whose gonna be there?
- Nana and Papa!
- [Dave] Nana and Papa are coming
all the way from Spokane to see you.
- They're staying just for today,
and they'll sleep at our house,
and then they'll go bye-bye
home tomorrow.
- Do you know what I'm excited for?
- [Claire] What?
- To watch you do ballet, do you know why?
- [Claire] Why?
- 'Cause you go to ballet every Thursday,
and I never get to know what you're actually
working on.
On the recitals, I get to actually see what
you've been learning this whole time.
Isn't that cool?
- Yeah. And look dad, I've been working on
everything I just do.
- I know. Tendus?
- [Claire] Yeah.
- Okay, what else?
- And a plie.
- [Dave] Plie?
- Yeah.
- [Dave] Okay, what else?
- And this!
- [Dave] What's that called?
- [Claire] I don't know.
- Are you gonna do all those moves in
your dance tonight?
- [Claire] Yeah.
- OK, I'll be watching.
Ready to go?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
(upbeat music)
- So excited to see your dance moves.
Are you gonna find me in the audience
and say "Hi dad?"
It's probably too dark, huh?
- Yeah.
- It's a little dark.
- 'Cause you have to turn off the lights
'cause it's part of the show.
- Let's catch up to Mom and Kirsten.
- We got you!
- Hey. We are running in, Carson is
not so sure.
- Fell asleep in the car, so he's a
little sad?
- [Claire] Yeah.
- [Dave] Run on, Papa.
(crosstalk)
[Papa] You look so beautiful, wow!
Lovely, wow!
- You (inaudible) backpack.
- [Nana] I love it.
- [Dave] This is Claire's papa.
This is Mumma.
- [Dave] Claire's been waiting for you
guys all day long.
- We've been excited all day long.
