Dottie turned 6!

 She got a pogo stick for her birthday this year. 

 It's becoming a tradition (she asked for it this year)  Candle in a pancake for breakfast.

 Opening her prizes with her friends.  She got so spoiled.

 Bug, KK, Dottie and Maddy.

 Birthday cupcakes with her two best friends.  She sure is going to miss them when we move.

This year in lieu of a party I told Dottie she could invite two friends and we would go to DQ and get what ever they wanted.  She was totally cool with that.  Her birthday fell on spring break this year so we went to lunch since there was no school.  Then they came over for a play date afterwards.  These 3 girls are in the same class at school too.  They are inseparable and they always get along great.  She really is going to miss them.

Easter

 Easter Morning...

 Trying to get some good pictures of the kids... 

Silly faces.









Not too much going on for Easter this year.  We had a little egg hunt of our own while my parents were here before Easter.  Then on Easter attended church.  They each got a small basket of goodies and sidewalk chalk (which I have no picture of).  We also had a nice turkey dinner and invited some friends over. 

Emma's 2nd grade performance

Emma right in the middle of the picture.

The 2nd graders preformed a hoe down this year.  Emma was so excited and nervous at the same time.  She loves to perform but she had to have a dancing partner and that had to be a boy. HA.. she cracks me up.  She secretly really enjoyed dancing with a boy.  Although she was so nervous he wasn't going to show up and she would have to dance by herself in front of everyone.  He didn't show up for the rehearsal.  But he did show up for the performance and it all worked out just fine.
