Dance Recitals

It was soo fun to finally see what we have been paying for this past year. Alexandra and Isabel starred in their very first dance recital with Greater Dance of York. I knew ticket prices were on the high side but underestimated the production. It was pretty darn spectacular! Alexandra and Isabel did an amazing job and looked pretty fancy in the process.

The BIG 5!

We were all relieved when Isabel made it to the BIG 5! She asked us every day, multiple times a day for a month, when her birthday was. We were very excited Isabel told us she couldn't suck her thumb at the age of 5.. that held true for maybe a day or two! We had a great, low key party this year (a request of my hubby) with just immediate family and Isabel's pick of a friend, Micah, whom she considers to be her cousin anyways. Isabel really hasn't changed much over the years. She has always been a vibrant, outgoing, determined, loving little girl which could all be summed up in two words -> BIG PERSONALITY. Happy Birthday Isabel!

During the party we had one major accident which resulted in a massive goose egg and one knocked out tooth. Feel free to view our precious moments enhanced at

Aunt Lindsey made Isabel a rockin' Hannah Montana Cake

Waiting to break the pinata

With the help of our good friends The Gagons, we managed to make one awesome pinata!

Aunt Angela thought it was hilarious when she found Isabel on the potty with her helmet.. she didn't want to waste any of her precious party time to remove the helmet?

The After Party

Alexandra Graduates

Wow, how time flies! Alexandra graduated from Kindergarten this past week. She once again impressed us all making Principal's Honor again with straight A's for the 4th marking period in a row! She learned so much this year including reading big kid books, addition & subtraction, many new bible verses, and how to play the bells and chimes. She has definately matured into one fine young lady - she was voted all around best kid for 3 marking periods. And for graduation, Alexandra and her class moved the crowd with their "3 Piggy Opera" performance and 3 songs they mastered on the chimes! What a year and hopefully many many more to come! Congratulations Alexandra!
