and finally...the finale
Today we concluded a year of birthday celebrations at Build-a-bear. This little tradition started back in October of last year when Noah asked if we could take him there for his birthday. Well, the rest of the kidlets caught on to his idea, and this last year of birthdays has been a no-brainer where gifts were concerned!
We were a little early celebrating Olivia's 8th birthday, but she really had her heart set on this pink flamingo & it was part of a limited edition, so we thought we'd best not take any chances. Good thing - when she picked hers out of the bin there were only three left - we were told that they would likely all be gone by the end of the day. Whew! This new family member's name is Sparkle (which goes nicely with Sabrina's enchanted pony named Shine). You may notice in the pictures that flamingos are a bit of a challenge to dress, but between Liv & Grandpa, they managed quite nicely.
Fun times - something they will all remember as their own special time with us, and it was equally special for Rick & me to have this individual time with each of them.
Grandparenting is.............GRAND!!!!!
I hope you dance...
We have been blessed with two beautiful granddaughters who love, among other things, to perform. This morning I had the priviledge of attending their first piano recital. They have had a very successful first year of piano lessons (with a very lovely teacher) & it was so fun to watch them play their pieces - no pictures of that unfortunately.
Last saturday, they had the year end show with their dance studio. This is something we look forward to every year, and you can see from their faces, they love it! The costumes are always so great & the girls have built up alot of confidence which will serve them well in their lives.
We have three amazing grandsons who have their own talents & interests... but the dancing (so far) belongs to the girls!!
