Cora in the Nutcracker Ballet

Cora loved dancing in the Nutcracker ballet.

A Real Photographer

The girls had their photos taken by a professional.  The girls thought it was so fun.  It frightens me a little how into it they were, but better than all frowns.  I have 100 more darling photos but here is a sample.

Lily's Art Night

Lily got to show us all the art she has been working on lately.  There was so much I couldn't take all the photos.  They sure have been busy in first grade.

Happy 7th Birthday to Lily!

We have been eating cupcakes for days, so I am sure Lily is officially 7.

We started Friday morning off with presents and a birthday cinnamon roll.  

After school, we had a birthday snack time with the neighbors.  

It was the first of many cupcakes.  

On Saturday morning, we took everyone to the trampoline place.  

Lots of jumping and very tiring. 

The jumping crew.  

We went to GG's after the trampoline place for pizza and cupcakes.  

The friend party had a similar crowd where we played with water balloons and squirt guns.  

Of course we had to have a dance party.  

On Sunday morning, Cora got to go on a bird walk with her preschool, so Lily and I did some birthday shopping with a stop at Starbucks.  

And the finale of the birthday weekend, was a play at the NW Children's Theater.  

A Real Snow Day!

This is the sixth day off school the girls have had this year.  Two in early December, but really it was just ice.  Two in mid December because there was 2 inches of snow.  On Monday, they were off because of ice.  But today, they woke up to 9 inches of snow.  That is the real deal.
