First Day of Ballet Class

Today is Elise's very first day of ballet class! She was super excited, and she did great! She's a natural.

I think this picture just about sums up her excitement.

And here's a lower quality one. But seriously, she was grinning so big.
Her teacher, Miss Grace, is so sweet with the girls.

Fishing

Elise decided she and Charlotte should go fishing. I love how creative she is!

It's a big one!

Snow Cave

Matt made a snow cave as a scout once and wanted to make one for the girls to play in. So much fun! They loved having an igloo.

Daddy's Girl

Charlotte has always been a daddy's girl. I love watching these two together.

Ballet Shoes

Aunt Holly sent us the best package in the mail, including all kinds of fun ballet clothes. Elise nearly jeté-ed to the moon when we opened it.

Sometimes I look at Elise and just marvel and think, Wow, she is growing up to be such a fantastic, beautiful kid. I'm so blessed and glad to have her in our family.
