Ashley's Thanksgiving Program

Ashley's adorable preschool put on their Thanksgiving program today and oh cuteness!

Look at all of the pilgrims!

The M/W/F combined with the T/Th class so Ashley made some new friends!

And boy did they sing their little hearts out.   Ashley had been practicing for what seemed like months 'No he's not a chicken or a cow...' Pretty sure we'll be singing that little rap for a while!

After her program Mommy and Ashley surprised Trevor at school for lunch!

And we totally didn't follow the rules that Trevor could only bring one friend over to the visitor table.  We brought them all :)

Trevor's Choir Concert

Central Park, where Trevor goes to school is known for academics but also their focus on the arts.  These kids have more hours for arts and specials than other schools which we think is great for their little (big) brains.  Tonight the 2nd grade put on their choir concert - a great mix of 50s classics.  They all sang their hearts out and performed all the choreography!  So so precious!!

Ashley Turns 5!

Ashley's actual birthday was on a Sunday and let us tell you that she was beyond ready to have her big day!  She dressed herself for church and that smile stayed on non-stop!

After chuch and church class as the kids call it, she opened up her gifts from family and us!

Cutie cars, books, puzzles, flash cards and a new doll!  Luva bella which is all the rage right now!  Glad we were able to find her one!  Of course, she named it Bella :)

Ashley's 5th Birthday Party

Ashley had been planning her 5th birthday party ever since she turned 4, seriously.  The girl lives and breathes dance so it's no surprise that is what she wanted to have for her special day!  

She got a special tutu for the occasion too!

Besties!

She picked out her cake (from Sam's Club) and topper!

Treats for after their dance lesson!

Nothing cuter than girls in tutus dancing!

They learned a routine that had Ashley doing a solo.  Everyone said you could totally see she was in her element!

Quinn, Sophia, Siena, Hannah, Ashley, Brian, Lucy, Anya, Emme, and Mia :)  Ashley gave everyone leg warmers to wear as part of their party favor!

Make a wish!

All the kids went 'ooooh' when the cake was cut and they saw the inside!

Gathering around to see what she got for presents!

And as everyone left, Ashley handed them a goodie bag of some of her favorite things!  The leg warmers, pink cookies that we made, ice cream lip gloss, princess coloring book and sparkle crayons.  She wanted to make sure it was 5 things because she was turning 5!

That night we went out for dinner and the birthday girl was given a special dessert!  What a most perfect day to celebrate Ashley!

Trevor's 1st Reconciliation!

Trevor is free of sin!!  What a special moment in his Catholic life!  XO

Toyland!

We came a bit late to this year's Toyland but we still managed to have some fun!  Still can't believe all this happens in small town Bentonville!
