This baby girl's 5th birthday is today!
Which means I need to clean off my camera card in preparation for her makeover birthday party this weekend. 'Cause if that's not a good reason for major picture-taking I don't know what is!
So, here is that same girlie graduating from Pre-K a couple of months ago. I'm going to post a couple of videos from the program in a bit, one of which makes me laugh and the other makes me a big puddle of goo. And for those of you who can't get enough Sara-graduation-cuteness (here's looking at you, Gigi), I have a whole lot more videos than your average blog-reader cares to see. Ask to view them when you have a while!
Getting her "diploma" from Miss Diana.
Nana and Papa came down for graduation!
Sara gave her teachers orchids to thank them for a great year of preschool.
With Miss Tammy and Miss Diana...
The very next day was Hallie's 6th birthday! I've already posted pictures from her friend-party, but here are a few from the official Birthday Morning doughnut breakfast on the Birthday Plate, our little family tradition.
The last gift she opened was a bike helmet. So we went on a search for the bike that could go with it...
Which was hidden in Mommy's closet.
Which, as it turns out, is not a scenic spot for a photo shoot. I believe I'll hide gifts elsewhere from now on...
We left that same day for the beach. I have posted my iPhone pictures from our annual beach trip with the Heads, but I have a few on my camera as well. One morning of the trip we went to the pavillion at Seaside to attempt some family photos and then eat lunch at Bud & Alley's. Not sure any of our photos are prize-winners, but a few of them are pretty cute nonetheless.
The Sunday after we got home from the beach, Jake was baptized at AVPC! Obviously we couldn't miss that. Steve Whitner did a great job with the baptism, and Jake was his charming self.
I mean, really. How cute is he?
This month, we got to host the Manlys and Dawsons for the 4th of July. It was a rainy 4th, so we didn't get to do a lot of swimming as planned, but we ate some barbecue, watched (some of) 1776, and called it a success. I'm going to post Gigi's pics from this get-together as well.
Even the kids' table was a little festive. :)
Melissa, Austin, A.J., and Uncle Ted spent the night with us, so our remaining group headed to the pool the next morning.
Hallie is very into self-portraits these days...
"Helping" A.J. He's so lucky to have such...helpful...older cousins!
You can never be too safe in the water...
These two always have a project going.
Sunbathing.
A little more self-photography.
Including her snaggletoothedness.
This morning, we had our Birthday Doughnut Breakfast for Sara Bee, and she opened a few gifts.
She got a big-girl backpack, since she'll be going to big school in the fall (!!!).
So Hallie went and got her matching one so they could pose together, of course.
I think, with the exception of some of Gigi's photos and a couple of graduation videos, that brings us up to date! Woohoo!
