End of the Year Class Party

Ansley had a wonderful year at preschool. Ms. Wendy & Ms. Melissa were such great teachers and I really got to know them well since I was the room mom. We can't thank Wendy & Melissa enough for loving Ansley and helping her grow this past year!

Ansley's class at their end of the year party at a near by park. They played games, ate fun snacks & treats and just enjoyed playing on the playground. We also presented the teachers with a special gift to show them how much we appreciated what they did for our children during the year. I was in charge of this and was very happy once it was done!

Here are some pics from the class party. I had to bring Aly along but thankfully one of the teacher's daughter's was there so she helped entertain Aly for me :)

Mother's Day Weekend

We celebrated Mother's day on Saturday this year since Rob and I were going to the Wells Fargo Golf Tournament on Mother's Day. Rob and the girls took me to lunch, we went to "Toast" a great restaurant in downtown Davidson. Afterwards we went across the street to the Davidson Green to see what was going on. They had games, kids dancing, and zoo animals. Ansley LOVED feeding the animals. It was a wonderful day spent together. I took some pictures from our day (so glad I did since I forgot to take any on Mother's Day)

Celebrating Mother's Day at School

Ansley's teachers invited all the moms to come to class early for pick-up because they had something special for us from the kids. I was so nervous I wasn't going to be able to make it since I had a tennis match. I knew if I didn't show up, Ansley would have been really sad! Luckily, I won my match :) and made it to her class in enough time.

this picture is blurry, but I wanted to keep it. Ansley is bringing me the gift she made me

End of the School Year ~ Choir Concert

Ansley was in choir last year and at the end of the year they put on a cute little performance singing some of the songs we would have dance parties to in her bedroom. She did a great job and didn't get scared which was much better then the last time she performed.

 In the next couple of pictures they were singing a song about a bird hatching....



DUMC Art Show & Pizza Night

Every year Ansley's preschool puts on an Art Show & Pizza night. Of course, Ansley LOVES that she gets to have pizza with all her friends. It also gives us parents a chance to catch up with other parents. We always enjoy seeing some of Ansley's art work displayed around the halls. Here is a picture of Ansley standing in front of one her art pieces (The orange Leaf)

Easter (Yes, I know this post is really late)

We had a wonderful Easter Sunday spent at home. This was the first year we were able to attend our church's Easter service and just had a casual afternoon together. The Hall's were suppose to join us for Easter brunch at our house but their kids got sick and we figured it would be best for them to stay home. So we had a feast all to ourselves :) It ended up being a wonderful day and the girls had fun looking for eggs!

The Easter bunny was very generous!

Cheese!
