This photo of Nadia and Dani is so adorable.

Cool matching shirts

Amelie always has her little Ami with her when sleeping which is precious.

Nadia’s sweet friend Katie moved away. And we met baby Lucy which made me so happy.

After the character breakfast we came back to the house to have cake and open presents.

This year we decided to do something different for Amelie’s birthday and buy a table at the Texas Scottish Rite Character Breakfast. We told her that she could invite three friends and she chose 2 girls from church and one from dance. I wouldn’t mind doing this every year for Amelie’s birthday because it was fun for the kids and Scottish Rite has done so much for our family.

Nadia helped me make a list of all the reasons the Character Breakfast was the perfect place for a birthday celebration:

– It’s a fundraiser for Scottish Rite which has done so much for our family.
– All the princesses were there which was perfect for sweet Amelie.
– They had SO MANY characters to autographs and photos.
– They provided the autograph books.
– They cooked the food. (Nadia declared it tasty and fancy)
– They cleaned up.
– They provided goody bags.
– We left at the very end so all the girls got balloons.

I had to sneak one photo in because this suit was too cool. 

Our church does a 4 year cycle of VBS themes and so we were on Jonah again. The girls had a great time and I once again helped Kaye by making announcements and encouraging the children in their fundraising. Even though it can be really tiring, I love being a part of this every year because the kids are so sweet.

Nadia and Lyla Kate are always excited to see each other for VBS and they pick up where they left off the last time. (Nice photo bomb from Adah)

Dani was so proud to have her own class and badge “like sisters.”

After VBS on several days we went out with Kaye and her grandkids who were visiting. The kids always have a good time together. We went to see “Inside Out” and out for a couple of meals. It was a nice treat at the end of our long days.
