Dance Recital/Baby dedication.

Aleia with one of her buddies, Lili, as they ham it up before the dance recital begins. They don't look like they are having too much fun do they?
CHEESE!!!
Daddy with his girl presenting the traditional flowers after the dance routine. Would you say that is a proud papa?

Lunch with Lisa's parents after the dedication.
Aleia had her first dance recital the night before we left for vacation. All I can say is it was quite entertaining. Aleia and ten of her dance mates performed on stage in front of a couple hundred people and everyone was laughing and carrying on. Their routine lasted about two minutes, yes you read this right, two whole minutes, but we all got our monies worth. They danced with their dolls which had the same dance costume to match the theirs. They all came onto the stage with their dolls in hand looking for their designated spot on the floor. The music starting playing pretty quick. Some of the girls danced, some were looking for their parents waving, some just stood there and smiled, and some of the girls froze when they saw all of the people. It was priceless!!!!!
Alexa was dedicated at church last Sunday with some of her Asian friends as Aleia refers to them. We were with the Bichsels', the McConnell's, and the Browning's. After the dedication we all went out to the lunch with all of our families to the Good House in Ragersville. It was a very special day for all.
Life continues to get better and better with each passing day. We are so happy with Alexa's day to day progess and just love being a family of four. Love to all, Lisa

Cheese!!!
We spent last evening at the wedding and reception for Ashley and Chris Wagner. Ashley is the second of six children of the family who babysits our girls. This was Aleia's first flower girl experience and she did great. She had so much fun. Our morning began going to a salon and getting Aleia's updo. She loves to be pampered already. Watch out Daddy!!! This was followed by an awesome brunch. It was then off to the church for pictures and the ceremony. Aleia walked down the aisle with the ringbearer and threw flower petals the entire way as she smiled. It was then off to the reception for boogy woogy as Aleia calls it. She was a big hit there too. She just doesn't meet a stranger. Thanks for sharing in Aleia's big day.
