Ballet Recital

Now that Ellie is taking ballet class, dressing in ballerina attire is a daily occurrence. In order to be the prettiest ballerina possible, one must wear as many tutus as will fit on your body at one time. Hence the multi-layered skirt. She's also a multi-talented ballerina, not only does she dance, she also sings and plays the piano at the same time!

Fairy Tale Dress Up

Sir Nicholas Knight and Dame Eleanor Dancer

Happy Birthday Eleanor!!!

Our baby is 2 years old! Hard to believe. She enjoyed eating Dora cake and the lifesized Dora balloons. This year Ellie was actually able to unwrap her own gifts. She loves her new Bitty Baby, stroller, and high chair. And she gets a big kick out of the little pink vacuum! Unfortunately, Nick likes the vacuum too and they frequently fight over who gets to use it. Now if only it actually worked.....

The kids enjoyed their visit with Nana and Papa. Nick was able to go fishing with "the guys" in Estes Park. And the children had fun eating lunch and playing at the White Fence Farm.

Nick's First Day of School!!

Nick enjoyed his first day of Pre-K in Mrs. McDonald's class. You know it's going to be a good year when your teacher has the same name as your favorite restaurant! He picked out his own superhero backpack and is extremely proud of it. Drop off went great, he remembered which class was his, hung up his backpack and joined the other kids. Didn't even look back at his poor old mother to say goodbye. Sigh...
