My two little girls were able to be a part of a very fun ballet program this last year with an incredible teacher and a fun bunch of friends.  I took their pictures prior to a dress rehearsal and had to grin at my two little flowers. 

Before the dancing begins, a game of tag (or something like it) ensued.

Hiding behind their practice “flower pots”.  So fun, right?

My good friend (from way back when we were gawky pre-teens) and her family have been living up in northern MN this last year and it has provided us with opportunities to get together (and plenty of opportunities to snap their pictures!).  Sadly, they’ve just moved a few hours south of us and while we’re planning on getting together as often as we can, I know that I’ll miss our “short” trips to each other’s homes.  Her three boys are absolute sweethearts.  The twins just turned one and if they don’t melt your heart, you have to be heartless!  They are soooooo handsome!

Love your family, dear friend! 

These two little guys turned one and got to indulge in some yummy chocolate cupcakes made by their auntie!  (See her website).

I snapped this one at the end when we were cleaning up…..I couldn’t help but love the chocolaty grin!

 

More 1-year pictures of these cuties coming soon.  I just couldn’t wait any longer to get the cake pictures up!
