Lyla is 3!

Saying this will never get old: We have two 3 year olds! Until Masie’s birthday in July, my girls share the same age. Lyla thinks it’s great. Masie is beginning to think it’s not so great.

Lyla received special treatment from her sister and brothers all day. Then she chose her cake, Dad brought her home balloons, and she opened some fantastic presents.

Lyla’s excitement over every new item or experience makes our family happy. She’s a shining star in our little home.

Masie chose the Tiana doll for Lyla. I think the baby Tiana doll looks a lot like our sweet youngest 3 year old.

End of School Year

Miles graduated from kindergarten. I’m not sure why it’s called a graduation when he’s just heading into another class at the same school. First grade next year! And that means he’ll be at school all day! One down and 3 to go. The “graduation” made for cute photos, and that’s probably why his school celebrates it!
