The sunshine sure brings out the fun around our house! We had great weather and great fun this weekend and I actually remembered my camera to capture it all.
On Friday, Ellie hosted a little get-together for all her friends. The kids had a great time playing dress-up and we even had a mini fashion show set to music. Here are some pictures of our little Cat walkers...

Group hug...Ellie's friends sure do love her as much as she loves them!
Saturday we took Ellie to the track again. I ran while Dan and Ellie played soccer on the field. She is pretty good, I must say. She can kick the ball far and control it while she runs. I was very impressed! Later, our friends Bob and Rosanna invited us and our neighbors over for some BBQ. The kids kept themselves busy so I was able to enjoy a margarita...or three. :)
But today proved to be the most exciting of the three days (well, not for Dan who helped our neighbor put in a sprinkler system). I took Ellie to the Cinderella Ballet in Renton (thanks Nana and Papa for the tickets!). What an AWESOME experience! Ellie got all dressed up the way she wanted: Cinderella t-shirt with pink sparkly dress, Fancy Nancy foofy ballet slippers, Cinderella undies, and a girly twirly hair ribbon that went all the way to her toes! She was so cute. The ballet started at nap time so I wasn't sure how she would do but she stayed awake the whole time and was totally mesmerized. Ellie really liked intermission too because I let her get some special treats at the concessions table. I know she enjoyed herself because when we left she said, "Mama, I LOVE Cinderella and I LOVE the ballet and I LOVE you." :) You can imagine how that made my day. :)
we had GREAT seats right in front!
TOTALLY EXHAUSTED!
She slept the whole way home and then we went to our neighbors' house for dinner. All in all, it was a very sunny and fun-filled weekend. We have lots more planned this month (April is always busy for us) so check the blog regularly to see what we are up to!
Later,

Ellie, Mema loved the fact that you attended your first ballet. I was happy to see that yellow went too. How about pink? Did you tell her all about it when you got home? You sure had alot of dress up clothes.....looks like your friends liked them too. Nick wishes he could come and play with you. Do you know this is the month Mommy has a birthday? Will you make cupcakes for her? Papa is working really hard to reach his goal of under 200 so Mom will come back to Spokane with you and Dad. OK....we love you xxooxxoo
