Preschool Graduation

Emily had her preschool graduation last night. They were all so cute and Emily insisted on wearing her new dress & shoes from her birthday. She was beautiful! :)

Emily was so proud of her certificate! :)

This is Emily's teacher, Miss Nicki. She has had her the last two years and absolutely adores her! :)

And this is Emily's other teacher, Miss Reka. Emily just loves school and both of her teachers! :)

Happy 5th Birthday, Emily!

Our little girl turned five today -- can you believe it?! We had a birthday party with some friends on Sunday and then did another mini-celebration tonight with my parents. It's been a great year and we are so proud of the wonderful little girl Emily is. Hope you love the pictures! :)

This is Emily's new doll, Eva, and their matching jammies. Aren't they adorable?! :)

Such a big girl on her new bike!

Emily got this super-cool book from Aunt Judy & Uncle Dave. She had to read through it right away! :)

A butterfly shirt from Gramsy & Papa Lewis -- perfect for our little Razzle Dazzle! :)

A baby stroller for Eva from Aunt Jill & Uncle Nathan -- a big hit! :)

Emily got some new makeup from some friends of hers. She has worn the lipgloss every day since! :)

We made cupcakes for Emily's classroom. She was so excited to share them with all her friends!

Emily got a Scrabble game from Aunt Katie and did really, really well with it! She's so bright! :)

The weather has been AWFUL the last week and it was cold and rainy during Emily's birthday party. So, the kids did sidewalk chalk in the garage. They didn't seem to care that they weren't outside! :)

Not sure why Alex has such a mean face while eating chocolate ice cream cake -- what could possibly be wrong?! :)

Here are some pictures of Emily's friends at the party.

Emily got this game from Aunt Laura & Uncle Ben and we played it the day of her birthday party with all her friends. It is an AMAZING game and we highly, highly recommend it! They had so much fun playing! :)

Emily and her birthday flowers/balloons. She loves that she gets flowers every year! :)

Emily & Eva. :)

Another Baskin Robbins ice cream cake -- yummy!! :)

She is so beautiful! :)

Latest Home Changes

Here are some pictures from our latest home improvements over the last few months. The dining room is finally finished with these shelves that Nelson built for my pottery. Isn't he awesome?! I could not be happier with these shelves and I LOVE how they show off my collection. :)

And here are some pictures of the new kitchen. It was a grey/olive color before, but it was too dark. So, we went with about the brightest color possible. . . and we LOVE it! :)

Here you can see the previous color. It was in the back hallway too, so we painted that the taupe we have throughout the house. It's so nice to have that color gone!

Happy Easter!

Here are some pictures from Palm Sunday and Easter. Aren't the kids getting big?!
