Ballet fun

Claire loves to dance. She was young for the class, but she was one of the most focused students. I was so proud of how hard she worked. It was very neat to see her with older students, and working just as hard. She is growing up!











She was so proud of herself! Great job, Roo!

Little chef

We made faux cliff bars. They are AMAZING! Claire had fun helping, and since they are no bake it was quick and easy. The bars retain such a chewy texture that some of the baked granola bars lose. Claire enjoyed the spoon lick-ability aspect the most!

Glow

We had a fun night with glow bracelets. The girls loved dancing in the dark and watching the bracelets slide across the floor.

Spring is here!

Oh it is so great to be outside!











Roo had to learn the tough lesson that bubbles do not taste as good as they look.

Happy Birthday!

Three years, three birthday parties of fun. Growing so big, look how little you were at one.


Getting so big look at you at two.


Sassy and free here you are turning three!


Happy birthday Roo!

Claire demanded a pink castle cake for her birthday. She has seen too many episodes of the cake boss. So I had my work cut out for me.
I made fondant for the first time.


Baked a scratch strawberry double layer cake. And began assembling.



Finished!

At the opera

Fancy frocks for the opera are a must!


We went and saw "Jack and the Beanstalk" performed by our local opera house. It was fabulous. The girls loved it.

Beautiful day

It was unseasonably warm today. It was 5 degrees shy of making a new high temp record! This is the type of winter I prefer. If I could schedule winter it would be one really good snow lasting three days and then be done.














I love our little walks on the trail. I forget how much we all need the walk. To just be outside, to find the coolest rock, to dig in the mud, and to climb trees.
