More Easter Pics

Well, unfortunately there are not a lot to share because the disc with all of our Easter pictures and videos seems to be malfunctioning. Something may have happened to it when the camera fell on the floor during church, but I'm just guessing. Thankfully, my friend Melissa was able to snap these few pics on her camera at church....

So the kids were not very cooperative (that became an ongoing theme throughout the day) and as you can tell by TJ's hair, it was a little windy outside. It's a good thing Dwaine and I looked so nice :-) Too bad we didn't think to get a pic of just the 2 of us.

Alli and friend Jack looking so cute together in their green and pink outfits.

Alli never passes up the opportunity to give a big hug and it seems Jack was in a hugging mood that morning too!

Easter Pics 2008

Well, they didn't make it into the mail before Easter, but they turned out great (live bunnies or not), so here they are...

She knows just what to do when it comes time for a photo shoot!

Those Easter eggs were nothing more than balls for TJ. They started flying shortly after he got his hands on them (thankfully, he wasn't using full force).

He was supposed to hold the carrot, but he wasn't going for that.

Hopefully, I'll have more Easter pics up soon- no promises :-)

Dement Look-alike Meter

Okay, so I'm thinking this is totally bogus for obvious reasons, but it was fun anyway! I even tried 2 different pics of TJ to see if I could get a different result, but no luck. Steph, maybe you should try it since each of your girls definitely favor one of you (and not the same one).

Alli's first ballet class!!

Alli went to her first ballet class last week!! I think mommy may have been more excited than she was. Don't get me wrong, she was excited also and had a great time. She is looking forward to her next class and to getting her new leotard and ballet shoes (ok, mommy is probably more excited about that one too).

Alli and her dance teacher, Miss Josie.

The class is held at the gym that I recently joined, so it is not your typical dance studio with bars and mirrors, but somehow I don't think that matters for a 3 yr old. I was however very impressed with the fact that the insructor was teaching technical ballet moves and positions, not just hopping, skipping, etc. which I thought might be the case with such young little dance students.

That doesn't mean that Alli and her fellow student did not spend a lot of time just hopping and skipping and randomly rolling around on the floor. It's a good thing Miss Josie has a lot of patience!

All and all, I think Alli did great for her first ever dance class and I'm thinking that after she has a few lessons under her belt, she will get the hang of it even more!

Here's a little video evidence of what I am talking about...

How cute is that!!!! It will be even cuter when she is fully dressed in her ballet attire.
