Recital, Birthday and Easter

Ally celebrated her birthday, May 1st with friends.  Here is one of my favorite pictures of the day. 

Happy First Birthday, Allyson!  Wow!  ONE....I can't believe how fast this year has passed.  Ally has brought such joy to our family!  She is a very sweet girl with lots of personality.

Her first birthday was actually the day before Easter.  Not really a good day to have a party since all of our friends would be traveling or hosting their own Easter celebrations.  However, we were excited that Bill and Pam were able to make it to Georgia  for the weekend full of events.

Thursday Night--Kiley's Dance Recital
This is NOT your typical dance recital.  It was a musical, The Wiz.  Kiley's part was to play a munchkin.  The outfit, well, it was priceless.  I paid $65 for Kiley to wear a pair of purple sweatpants and non-matching purple shirt that were more than likely purchased at Goodwill (yes, you could tell that they were not new), that they hot glued curling ribbon onto the clothes.  I guess to make it flashy.  Regardless, not the dance recital I was hoping for, but she was cute nonetheless.

Friday-Colored Eggs

Saturday (Ally's Real Birthday!)--was interrupted by Pam becoming ill and later than night, Kiley was ill as well.  The Lance's joined us for dinner, but the birthday cake and celebration would have to wait.

Sunday-Easter
Not our typical Easter either.  We were all exhausted and Bill and Pam left bright and early to get back to Illinois.  The girls enjoyed their Easter Baskets, books and toys.  We spent most of the day on the couch.   I really wanted to get lots of pictures of the girls, but it didn't happen.  Next time.
