Snickerdoodles and Creativity

M&M have been asking to eat some snickerdoodle cookies, so I decided that it might be fun for them to help make them. While these aren't my all time favorite cookie, the cookies tasted wonderful and were fun for the girls to make. They loved rolling the dough into balls and then covering the dough with the cinnamon and sugar mixture. And, it was fun for them to measure out ingredients and fight for control of the mixer.

Making snickerdoodles wasn't the only activity of the day. M&M also wanted to spend some time being creative. Little M painted a princess canvas she has had for a while. Big M had fun coloring a portrait holder for her room. It was a busy, fun-filled summer day. So glad we were able to spend time baking and crafting!

Last day of Pre-K and Second Grade

Wow! I really can't believe the school year is over and the M&M girls will be heading to Third Grade and Kindergarten next year. We were blessed with wonderful teachers again this year! It is nice to have a break from homework and all, but both of these girls really enjoy their teachers and love learning at school. So, we ended the school year with many happy memories with Mrs. Mears, Mrs. Hale, and Mrs. Bean, but sad that this year was over too.

Dance Recital 2014

It's so hard to believe another year of school and dance has come to an end. We really enjoyed watching the girls dance again with Miss Kristy's Studio. Little M tap danced to "Party in the U.S.A." Big M performed a jazz dance to "Rock This Party". Both of M&M's dances were excellent and their classes performed so well.

Here's the annual pic we take of the girls and I before recital. I just found out at Mother's Day that taking this picture together is one of Big M's favorite things...so glad we take the time for it. Hope we always do.

Easter

We had lots of fun this Easter...dyeing eggs, hunting our real eggs, dinner with friends, and of course finding candy-filled eggs. M&M love Spring!!

We loved that we were able to dye the eggs so brightly...brightest we've had so far!

Looking so pretty in the Easter dresses Mamaw made.

Lots of candy-filled eggs for everyone!

Walt Disney World 2014!!

We recently visited WDW and had a great time vacationing and celebrating Big M's 8th Birthday. The weather was still a little cool there, but finally warmed up so we could enjoy our time away from winter in OK. Here are a few of our favorite pictures:
