FanSACstic Fun

The time arrived for our dear friends' 5th Annual 

*PARTY IN DA SAC*

This is a favorite of all attending...especially our lil' tween girlies who so miss being together

ummm...can't u just feel the sincerity in that hug?!

These 3 bring such happiness to my heart...precious, precious girls...

and friends since they were toddlers

Speaking of toddlers, what JOY it brings to see my friend S come with her hands full of toddling darlings!

there are no words for shots like this one...

Ella Bella's Jazz II Recital

Ella has been asking me all weekend if she could have a "solo recital" - I was a lil' surprised to hear that my shy one would be willing to get up in front of a few hundred people and dance alone

However, after her impromptu bold toast at Aunt Kerri & Uncle Kreston's Rehearsal Dinner (post still yet to come), I think I believe that she would! 

Miss Amanda ~ we love u and your spunky ways!

Lauren (JSE classmate) and Ella had such fun being in the same dance class

Oma and her youngest grand-daughter

Ella truly loooved getting flowers ~ more than your average 8 yr old girl

(She wanted them in a vase in her room the minute we walked in the door!)

Mimi and her youngest grand-daughter :-)

Bella congratulated by Big Sis and Lil Bro

(Will was at a b'day party :-( )

and last but not least, Ella's 2 Biggest Fans give her Big Hugs!

Ella ~ we are SO PROUD of all your hard work and dedication this year. You have always been a twirly, ultra feminine little lady...which makes for such fun when Recital time rolls around!

Excited to see what God has in store for your future in all things Girly!

Certain is it that there is no kind of affection so purely angelic as of a father to a daughter. In love to our wives there is desire; to our sons, ambition; but to our daughters there is something which there are no words to express.
