Massive Spring Catch-Up!

Here are all of the things I have meant to share over these past few months 😝

Annalie asked for "rainbow cake" for her birthday. So we went with a 7 layer , all the colors of the rainbow cake!

Unicorn on a tree swing!

They promised they wouldn't get wet. Lol!

Evelyn has been playing softball--here she is before the opening day parade. 

Go Crushers!

Amalie had her first big dance recital!

This is the tap outfit, for "shake your tail feather"

...plus the silly version (actually, I believe this is the "surprised" pose)

These are hilarious, and I'm happy to report there have been no injuries (yet!)

To say Evelyn loved 1st grade would be an understatement--she had a great year! She has grown leaps and bounds in reading, writing, and math. She's excited to be on summer break, because she can now play school every day :)

Seven!

Happy Birthday Evelyn!!!

Here is Annalie with her wonderful teachers!

Annalie really loved preschool. She learned so much and has picked up many new skills. Her favorite jobs were "calendar girl," line leader, light switcher, and bell ringer. She loved spending time with her big buddy. It was a great year, and she will be excited to return to the 4 year old class in the fall!

We had a fun spring break trip to Minnesota!

This was before the melted wax ended up IN Annalie's eye 😬. The EMT/first aid ladies were extremely helpful, and after a few hours the wax glob finally worked its way out.
