Allie’s fun weekend

I know…I’m horrible at blogging lately (this is Kerrie, not Jake as it says above). It’s not for lack of time. I just HATE uploading pictures and videos; it takes forever and I’d rather be surfing all of your blogs instead 
Anyway…
Allie has been taking a dance class these last 4 months and has loved it. Her dance recital was on Friday and she was ecstatic to dress up in her costume and wear make up. She was the oldest in her class but it didn’t seem to phase her. She loved every minute of dance. We’re sad that her dance teacher is moving away.
Here’s a video of Allie at the recital:
Allie and I went to Disney on Ice with our good friends, Elizabeth and Iliana, last December. With Christmas coming up again the season must have reminded her of the show because she began asking to see it again this year. Luckily, our friends have a connection and were able to get us discounted tickets again. Yesterday, I surprised Allie with the announcement that we were going to Disney on Ice by putting a little picture of Disney characters in her advent calendar. (We have a calendar with little doors and every morning she opens one to reveal a prize: usually Christmas books, stickers, stencils, and family outings). She literally squealed with excitement…it was exactly the reaction I was hoping for. All day long she asked if it was time to go.
While watching the show she had a smile on her face the entire time. She danced in her seat to the groovy music and giggled at the silly parts. Although the show was fun for me to watch, it was more fun to watch her reaction to it all. Of course the first thing she asked when the show was over was, “can we see it again?” It would be fun to make it a yearly tradition but who knows where we’ll be next year and if Disney on Ice will be in our town. We might have to find some other fun girly outing.
And by the way, I’ll be blogging on Wednesday with news of the gender of baby #3, which by the way is due around May 24th. Yes, I know. Shocking that I’ll be blogging twice in one week and shocking that we are having a third May baby. We love the month of May!

Thank you so much for blogging Allie dancing. That was absolutely precious. She is so into it. Her hair is really long! And I enjoyed hearing little Lukie wanting attention. What a cute voice. Hard to believe he is saying words.
Love ya and I will call on Wed.!
I can’t wait to find out if you are having a boy or girl. Maybe this one will be born on Dave’s birthday? Probably not since that is your due date. I don’t think the doctors will want to wait that long.(Or you either)

That was so cute! Great idea on the advent calendar. We just have candy in ours, which keeps disappearing (wish I could blame it solely on the kids).
Can’t wait to find out if it’s a boy or girl! Any names picked out??

I love that video. Allie is such a cute little girl. It really makes me want to put Hannah into a dance class. I’m really excited to see what you’re having. I already guessed girl, but who knows. I want to know if you have any names picked out too:)
