My Mom's Visit and Dance Recital

My mom came to visit at the end of June to play and to see the girls in their dance recital. Olivia was so excited to learn to sew with KK! They made a cute pillow for her bed.

Look how proud she is!

Annika found many ways to be helpful while they were sewing!

My mom's birthday was coming up, so we celebrated with a surprise lobster dinner. So yummy!

Here we are after the recital. We couldn't take pictures during it, but we got this one afterwards. They did so well! We were so proud of them. Annika did ballet to "Somewhere Over the Rainbow." Olivia did ballet, tap, and tumbling. They both loved it. Afterwards when we got in the car Annika said, "I want to do that again!" She must have had a really good time.

This is Olivia's tap outfit. She really liked it because it is similar to Molly's (Amer. Girl) in her book. Molly got to be "Miss Victory"- Olivia also pretended to be Miss Victory!

This is Olivia in her tumbling outfit. This was her favorite. It has fringe- she quickly became a fan of fringe!

The girls got trophies (Annika got a bobble head one- she picked it out), flowers, the pink cake they always want, balloons, and a fun little hello kitty gift. They were so excited! I love making my girls feel special!

My nephew Hayes came to visit for the 4th. We had a great time going to the zoo and going to Thurman's Cafe. And eating Graeters! Yummy! He is so cute! The girls had a great time playing with him or watching him play I should say. I forget at this age how they just play along next to other kids, not so much with them.
