Wax Museum

Dru's 5th grade class participated in a presidential wax museum.  All the kids researched an assigned president and came dressed and ready to share all about that person.  They each had a button on their desk you could press to hear interesting facts.  It was so fun to go and see all her classmates and learn more about the US Presidents.

Dru made a pretty great Chester A. Arthur. (21st President)

Ellie and Dru

Her friend Ellie was Presdient William Howard Taft who was the fattest President.

bobcat awards x 3

 All 3 girls earned their bobcat awards this year in the first round.  Rylie has been anticipating this day for years.  She has been so jealous of Dru and Liv's medals.  

I am super proud of them and all their hard work that went into this award.

I love this pic of the kids admiring their first ever bobcat award medal.

They each were able to pick out a book as an extra reward.

Rylie and her cute friend, Sarah.

Cute Liv.  I was only able to snap one quick picture of her.

This is Dru's last year of elementary....her last bobcat award assembly.

I am not sure how I feel about that.

Dru and her fun friends, Ellie and Olivia.

 These 2 begged and begged to get a pic with the school mascot.

In 2 short years Owen will be here getting his award.

I am not sure how I feel about that either.

Valentine's Day

Oivia had a "manners" tea party at school.  

She was so excited!

Rylie dressed herself in anything and everything that had a heart on it. 

Dru did not want a picture but I found this check list in her room.

She is the most thoughtful girl...a valentine for everyone.

(the principal, secretary, Mr. Ray the janitor, her teacher, her fav lunch lady and her class.)

Valentine party!

I love Valentine's day and I am so glad my mom does too!  

We celebrated the holiday with a yummy dinner, games, decorating cookies and dessert.

The cousins loved playing the fun games together.

Making our valentine envelopes.

We all brought homemade valentines for each other.

Delivering our valentines.

Frosting the cookies.

 Megan made these delicious desserts. 

She really is an amazing baker!

My mom gave all the moms a signed copy of Ann Romney's cookbook.

The kids got a darling valentine's shirt.

Thank you for this fun tradition!
