Tutu Cute

May brought the girl's ballet recital.  This was Kathryn's first year to dance!  I don't know what she loved more her teacher, her friends or this red, feathery costume;)

 

 

As you can tell, both of the girls were beautiful, and both performed so well!!

 



We followed their performance with dinner at Fuego!

 

 

Spring Break 2015

Once again, I'm blogging under the guise of "better late than never!"

Remember way back in April to a little holiday that just happens to be my favorite: E A S T E R !

We were blessed to spend the day with both sets of grandparents.  Church fellowship, family and yummy food are some of my favorite things!!

 

Several days into Spring Break, we headed to Destin!  Matt had a conference, so the kiddos and I hung out on the beach and at the pool for a couple of days.  Not a bad deal at all;)

 

Frances' most favorite toy/animal is Dougie. a black Labrador we bought at this exact Orvis when she was barely a year old!  My how time flies!!

 

Following the beach, we took a side trip to the loveliest little village on the plains!  Matt and I attended a swim team banquet, and Nana and Papa came into town to watch the kids.  It was a great way to end our week!  Makes me ready for some football;)

 

 

Disneyland, See Ya Real Soon

Our last full day in the park was spent riding all of the rides we hadn't been on yet! I'm happy to say we rode everything that wasn't closed for refurbishments! And of course, we rode some of our favorites one last time!!
 

Would you be surprised if I said we can't wait to go back!!! We love Disneyworld, but I think this trip will leave a very special place in each of our hearts for Disneyland!  It was truly magical!!

Disneyland, Days 3 and 4

For me, one noticeable difference between Disneyland and Disney World is character interaction. You just don't see that many characters at Disneyland. So, we were RELIEVED when we found Alice and the Mad Hatter by the Tea Cups one day! For Frances, it's not Disney until she sees Alice!

 

I promise Frances is on Space Mountain with us! And I guess Walker decided to sleep through all the excitement!

 

 

Day 4 found us back at California Adventure.  Sadly, much like Disney World, February is the time when a ton of attractions close for refurbishments.  Sadly, all of Grizzly Peak at California Adventure was closed while we were there, not to mention the Matterhorn and the Sleeping Beauty's Castle!!!! On the bright side, that's just that many more reasons to make a return trip:)

 



 And more from Cars Land....

And "a bug's land" was amazing too!

Cars Land at night will forever be a favorite though!
