She and her group sang and danced to three popular songs and boy did they ever make an impression! Unfortunately we were not allowed to use flash photography so my shots all came our blurry. Ava beamed with confidence, even when they all fumbled over the words and choreographed routine (they needed about 8 more weeks to practice! Love t...

http://thegardinerfive.blogspot.com/2014/01/happy-new-year-2014.html
Sunday, January 5, 2014. We had the most WONDERFUL NYE with friends. The Gates family came over for a relaxing evening of watching football, hanging out, eating, of course some drinking. and some silly kid time too. Ok and a few fireworks. It was ideal and relaxing and mellow. Safe. These kiddos are all one year apart in school and act like the best of friends. Great connections. We made it to NYE in New York city- watched and counted down as the ball dropped! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

After a couple months of fundraising and procuring and 4 rehearsals, Ava was ready for her two big shows- at 11am and 2:30pm! You had to have a ticket to watch (and they were pricey! So we bought tickets with friends and family to the 2:30 show. After MUCH anticipation (and a VERY LONG beginning to the "show".) we all squealed with excitement when our little doll came out on stage. With my girl, Sh...

Saturday, December 21, 2013. Ava had a 3rd grade culture and traditions parade last Wednesday, and she was thrilled her teacher asked her to dress up in the Saint Nicholas costume!
