Pretty awesome celebrations this year for the big 10!
Kate & Audrey came over for a scavenger hunt, dinner, fire pit and sleep over.
Your biggest celebration was Great Wolf Lodge with Taelynn, Lanie and Jensen. Mrs. Jennifer was kind to come along. We had a big time! Out of school early on a Friday and going doing first slide by 2! The lines were almost nonexistent and we rode and rode and rode. We went when you were around 4 as a family and you were not tall enough to ride the Tornado at that time. You have longed to go back since. It did not disappoint. Our boys were in Boston celebrating Brooks' 13th Birthday.
For dinner I grabbed Chick Fil A which we ate in our nice room. You and your guests were surprised with stuffed animal wolves and a pack of gum, opened gifts and then back to the slides until we were told, "we're closed." Showers, gift shop, back to the room to be surprised with cupcakes and popcorn. We talked and played UNO Attack until lights out at 11.
Saturday morning was off to a great start, breakfast in the room, in water park as soon as doors opened. We enjoyed a delicious outdoor picnic of pizza and sides. for lunch. The weather was glorious and we enjoyed the sunshine before heading to the outdoor pool for a bit. We played and rode until we were thoroughly worn out. We bid farewell to Great Wolf Lodge and all had our first visit ever to Jack N The Box restaurant. Burger joint but you girls all ordered the pancake breakfast platter and Birthday Cake milkshakes. Very fun!
Chatting, laughing and reminiscing marked out ride home. You friends were all so very good to each other and got along so well during a long and fun weekend. I am so very thankful to have shared this special memory with you and the girls we love so much. You are a blessed 10 year old girl to have such loving and caring friends. I hope it was the happiest 10th Birthday EVER!

Brooks and Lan enjoyed an afternoon of creating their own slow motion videos. Perhaps the Refs will need to "review" one of their plays. So cute.

4th Grade Filming
Miss Clougherty loves to use the green screen to record skits. You guys act out plays that you have written and edited, presentations as well as commercials. So fun. This is just a port of a scene I snagged in class one day.

Landry's Baptism
May 21, 2017 Landry made the public profession of her faith in Christ! The day was so very special and even more of a delight than Landry had envisioned. Landry has been dreaming and talking about what it will be like on the day she is baptized!!
She was greeted that morning with gifts and balloons from us at home, received cards, flowers, gifts and candy from friends and family at church, was treated to lunch at Harper's and felt very loved and supported. Many friends, family and influential people in Landry's life made this special event in Landry's life a priority. We are all so very grateful for the lives who have poured into Landry to come alongside us as her parents to continue to grow Landry into the lady God has planned. Thank you!
Jensen Huitsing prayed for Landry before Jeff Bradsher baptized her (his first baptism).
