The Parade

The Champlin Parade is now a tradition for our family. The girls look forward to it every year (for the candy of course). This year we went with the neighbors and had a blast! Above are Sydney, Teagan and Lindsey anxiously waiting for the parade to begin with their bags in hand ready to run after that candy!

Above are the girls watching the parade intently. Perhaps you noticed the purple crown on Sydney's head. She has a pink one and a purple one and she has been wearing them almost non-stop for the last month. Every where we go people ask her if she is a princess. She just smiles, nods and says--yes, EVERY DAY!

Last Day of K

Okay I am WAY behind on posting, but even though it was a month ago I still have to still post the pictures from Lindsey's last day of Kindergarten as it was a HUGE milestone.

Above is Lindsey receiving her diploma from her teacher, Mrs. K. Below is Lindsey and her friend Grace showing off their diplomas.

The parents were invited to a picnic lunch, but because it rained we all ate on the floor in the cafeteria. The kids thought it was pretty cool!

"Spired Milk"

Funny story-this morning when Sydney was drinking her milk at breakfast, she made a funny face and said "oh, Mom, I think this milk is spired!"

EASTER

I know, I know Easter was how many weeks ago! Time just gets away from us... Anyways, here they are, pictures from Easter. These first two are from the night we dyed eggs. The girls just love it! Luckily it was nice enough and we were able to do it outside on the deck. The less mess the better I say!

We celebrated Easter with the Youngs the Saturday before Easter. The kids all wore the outfits that Grandma Jeanie bought for them while her and Grandpa were in Florida. Auntie Suzie and Great Grandma stopped by for a little while. The kids had fun playing outside and as usual, the Easter egg hunt was a hit!

We spent Easter Sunday with the Nystroms. We lucked out with a super gorgeous day! The girls almost didn't need those sweaters I spent hours shopping for. Who knew that the week before Easter every white sweater in every store I looked would be gone! Tons of dresses left, but no sweaters. What is up with that? Shouldn't they make an equal number of sweaters and dresses? Luckily I was able to find a small rack with only 4 left and even better, 2 in the sizes I needed. Whew! That will teach me to wait until the last minute!
