Catching Up

 We've got some catching up to do! 

Around Christmas we bought tickets to a For King and Country that was here in Salisbury. We were just at a concert a couple weeks before, but this one was one we could not miss. As it worked out, the boys really didn't want to go so they spent the evening with cousins having Nerf Wars. Jeremy's parents were here for a few days that week and they were happy to use the boys' tickets. We sat with friends and Janell's family too.

It was such a fun concert.

There was an after dark Easter egg hunt with friends. The kids had so much fun!

Easter was different this year for us. We went to church and then spent the afternoon with my family.

There was another fun egg hunt. The cousins played for hours and the adults had a good time talking and being together.

And then there was dance recital weekend. I took pictures during dress rehearsal.

I can't believe how grown up Aliza and Anna are. Especially Aliza though. She is doing the dances that I enjoyed watching the "big girls" do when she was one of the little girls. A couple friends came with us to watch dress rehearsal which was before and after the dinner hour. That meant that it was McDonald's for supper on the way home. These girls were so cute together. They giggled and had the best time.

Before recital pictures...

Anna received her first trophy for 5 years. Aliza received her 9 year trophy.

Our dance weekend was a little quiet without any of the Heslop's coming this year. To liven it up a bit, we had friends over for a taco supper after recital. The girls were exhausted, but enjoyed watching old dance recital DVDs. It was just the right kind of evening to finish off the day.
