Monday, May 26 2014. This year since they love kitties. The kids seemed amazed and delighted when Chris and I encouraged them to touch the cake. Even after I sliced off and distributed a few pieces, they continued to snatch frosting and cake directly from the source. The kids continued to thoroughly enjoy themselves.

The last time we flew on an airplane I declared, NEVER AGAIN! Then it started to get cold. Then a dear friend told me about a fantastic Mexico vacation his family took when his kids were small. Then I booked the vacation. I love a good idea. plus, we brought Stephanie and a set of grandparents. 5 adults and 3 kids is a winning combination. The flights were fairly painless.

Saturday, May 9, 2015. Yesterday, Lily graduated from Preschool. She still has to go for two more weeks, but with the whole school attending, I think they needed to get in the Preschool Graduation early. They got to stay at school for lunch and then the ceremony was at 1pm. It lasted about 10 minutes. She immediately came home and took a nap. These were the invitations they sent home. They made their own graduation caps.
