Fairytale Ball

For Christmas, Santa brought Avery a ticket to the Fairytale Ball.  She patiently waited for the day to arrive and was super excited when it finally came.  She couldn't decide whet to wear so she brought several dresses (Anna and Moana) and changed midway through. 

The event was held at a local hotel and all the Princesses plus friends were there.  We had a special ticket so we could get there early to have Avery's picture taken with all the princesses.  

During the ball, there was storytime, face painting, pixie dust, crafts, dancing, sing-a-longs and a Princess parade.

And of course lots of pictures with Princesses!

Smyrna Little League Parade

Every year the local Little League puts on a parade to celebrate opening day.  Each team decorates a truck and the kids ride in the back.  It is always super cold but the kids love it!  This year Carter is playing AA on the Orioles and Parker is playing Rookie on the Reds.  Dad is one of Parker's coaches, mom is team parent for both teams and Avery is already over spending 4+ days a week at the fields!

February

February was a busy month with birthdays, Valentines's, winter sports and of course our amazing vacation but the kids managed to fit in some more fun.

Avery (4 years, 6 months) - Avery and dad went on their annual Daddy Daughter date to Chick-fil-A with some friends.  The enjoyed meeting Belle at dinner and going to build-a-bear afterwards.  Avery also wrapped up her cheerleading season.  She really enjoyed it and has asked to do it again next year!  Avery has been very excited about having playdates with friends and hopefully warmer weather coming so she can go swimming. 

Parker (7 years, 3 months) - Parker also enjoyed his winter sport, basketball.  His team was super sweet and ended up the season undefeated.  We still don't see Parker much after school as he prefers to spend his afternoons running around the neighborhood with his friends.

Carter (8 years, 9 months) - Carter had a super fun invite to go spend a night at the Great Wolf Lodge with his best buddy Andre.  They had a blast together.  Carter also wrapped up basketball and is looking forward to baseball season.
