Happy Pre-K Completion!

It's been a busy couple months around here what with us selling our house and finding a new house to move into.  Hence, a bit of radio silence on the blog.  Sorry!

I'm taking a short break from packing and organizing to upload a few photos from Ellie's pre-k completion ceremony which was tonight.  The kids were so cute and had a couple of songs to sing for us.  It was very sweet.  Hard to believe we are saying goodbye to the JCC and to so many families we've gotten to know over the last four years.  Ellie has a few more days in school and then this summer will be filled with moving, day camps, and some fun trips to California, Minnesota, and Oregon.

Here's our beautiful girl who is now ready for kindergarten!

All birthday, all the time

On Thursday, we celebrated with Ellie's friends at school and we got to tell stories from each of her years so far.

Then we went to soccer after school and we even got to bounce in the inflatables afterward!

Then we celebrated Ellie at home on Friday night. (No, we didn't clone her for her birthday.  Ben was able to print out a life-size Ellie at work!)

She got a scooter from us and so many other wonderful presents!

The best present is always the chance to "hold" Miss Mia.

There's a cookie under all those sprinkles!  And, how cute is she? 

Way too many mini-cupcakes!

Family celebration!
