Little Ballerinas

Our little niece Bella Grace turned 3 years old last weekend. Her mommy (Brandon's sister) asked me to take pictures of the beautiful ballerina themed party including a teacher who came to the house and taught a class. When all of the tiny girls showed up in their teeny tutus and ballet shoes, I couldn't stop taking pictures.

Ballet Class

Her daddy grilled up hotdogs for all the little ballerinas after they worked up an appetite.

Did I mention that Auntie and Uncle showed up in tutus also? :-)

Birthday wishes and presents

Even Lia got to make an appearance at her sister's party!

Happy Birthday sweet, sweet Bella!

We love you very much :-)

Backyard

There was a break from the cold a couple of weeks ago, and I ventured outside to practice with our camera. (And yes, "cold" is a relative term when you live in California.) Here are some snippets from our tiny backyard.

Someone clearly made a home of my rusty old bike...

I am so ready for Spring and Summer to arrive!

Here's to backyard BBQ's, drive-in movies, bike rides, beach campfires,

popsicles, tan skin, sleeping with the window open,

flip-flops, summer dresses

and baseball games.
