ReplyDeleteWhat a fun, but tiring weekend!! I honestly don't remember our weekend, except it was my boy's bday. Everything else was a blur. :) Poor Sassy was in bed early every single day, this week, cuz she couldn't handle it anymore.

Oh those busy days that drive us crazy, that we wouldn't miss for the world because it's all for our kids... I hear that we will miss them so very much one day.
ReplyDeleteMemorial day sounds like a blast. I'm sorry we missed out! :)
Gorgeous pictures! My girls stopped dance but I know all to well the frenzy that is recital season! There is something special though, about celebrating a year's worth of effort on stage, in front of friends and family, in outfits that make you feel like a fairy...... Glad they enjoyed it! Glad you survived it!
