April happenings

Random pics and events in April:

Sarah's daffodils and grape hyacinths were beautiful this spring!

Our annual family pic in front of our crabapple tree.  It bloomed about 3 weeks early due to the warm spring!

Megan was in the school talent show.  She and about ten friends from kindergarten sang and danced to "15 Animals" by the Philadelphia Chickens (based on a Sandra Boynton book).  They were so cute!  This is from the dress rehearsal.

Katie dutifully cleaned and twisted her starter earrings for six weeks, and then I took her to Justice so she could use her birthday gift card to buy fun earrings!  Now she wears a new pair every day!

Chris with the girls before the school's Daddy Daughter dance.  Notice Jessi and the welcome home signs in the front door...Chris got back from a trip to Italy just a few hours before the dance started.  What a guy!

Another shot of the cute people.  Chris took them out to dinner to Chili's (their request) before the dance.

Katie and her friend at the dance.

Crazy Megan with a beach ball at the dance.  They enjoyed a chocolate fountain, a portrait, a photo booth for funny pictures, and, of course, LOTS of dancing and running around the gym!

Jessica's preschool took a field trip to a nature center last week.  At first she was apprehensive about touching the snake, but then...

...she was brave enough to wear it as a a necklace!!  We enjoyed a very interesting presentation, followed by a great nature walk.  The Easter hat is her gardening hat, and she thought it would be a good idea to wear it to the nature center.  I agreed!  She was so cute!

Katie and Jessica sang in the church's choir concert last Friday night.  It was a CRAZY night - with two ballet practices, a talent show, AND a choir concert.  We made it to every event, believe it or not, though we had to split up a few times.

I'm almost caught up...but Easter pics will come another night...I'm off to bed!
