everything dance

while we're playing catch up.....for those of you that don't know, Riley loves to dance. She took her very first class from last Sept-Dec and LOVED it. Here are a few of my favorites for last quarter.

Riley & Kallie (dance & preschool buddy)"I love to DANCE!!!"

Then in January, I took Riley to the PNB student presentation of the ballet, Jewels

cute poses with Riley's best buds, Kallies & Ginnytoo cute, had to post another
what they did, when I asked them to strike a pose

Since she loves it so much, we enrolled in another class from January-March. Here are the photos from the last day of class when the parents are invited to watch.
These were the only photos I could get a smile in.
So fun.
She loves her teacher and all the creative movement stuff they are learning.
We love our little dancer, Riley!

who taught my baby girl to flash gang signs?

ok, so maybe she is just rubbing her nose here, but...

what is this???

don't worry, it's just a paintball gun.

celebrations

so we celebrated the new year and my sister's birthday all together. 2 days of playing with friends and family, board games, yummy food & fun. so much fun!

New Year's Day began with a fabulous breakfast, played board games all day and at night we went to the Museum of flight.

maybe the girls will be pilots someday...

Sisters....

this is such a great picture of three of us, I think it is because we are anticipating the birthday dessert: chocolate lava cake. YUM!

The next day, we made a trip to D'Lights.

This is our second year and I think it will definitely become a winter tradition.

Happy Birthday Erica! Hope you had fun (2 months ago anyways)!

can you believe I'm finally blogging again?!?
