Sia's Spring Ballet Recital

Sofia's spring ballet recital was Princess themed. 

Getting ready.

 V had been sick so Grandma had to stay a distance away.

She practiced her curtsy for weeks beforehand.

Aunt Cori and Lila were able to make it too!

Happy 1st Birthday, Vivian!

V turned One!

Our little birthday monkey

We tried out the same art activity that Aunt Cori had at Easter

We unfortunately didn't get a picture of the final product. 

Look at the Easter posting for the end result. :)

Grandma's Head Shaving Party

Grandma's chemo has caused her hair to start falling out so all of the Granddaughters came over for a Head Shaving Party on Friday afternoon.

Visiting Grandma

Following complications from the survery, Grandma was re-admitted to the ICU on Monday. Yesterday, Friday, she was moved to the PCU which allows for child visitors. Today the girls and I stopped by for a little while.

Sofia had to put on her new fancy dress for the visit.

Grandma seems to be on the path to better health. Maybe they'll let her go home again soon. Chemo should start in the next 2 weeks.

Visiting Grandma

Grandma had surgery to address her cancer on March 1st. She went home in time for the weekend and a visit from us.

Sofia serenaded us on the piano.

Christmas Eve

We spent Christmas Eve at Grandma and Grandpa's house eating dinner and opening our first round of gifts.

After returning home, we finished preparing for Santa's visit.
