BLAST OFF! Discovering the God of Creation

This was Alli's second year participating in CRCC's Spring Musical and she did AWESOME!

This year was a space theme . . . 
Alli LOVES singing in the choir with her buddies and we love learning the songs with her :-)
She began rehearsals back in January and this weekend she had two performances.
She was so excited to have her family there . . . Ducky Gramma, Papa, Uncle Tony, Aunt Jenee and Cousin Bella made it to Saturday's performance (unfortunately, no pictures from the first night).
Tonight's performance was just as cute and the kiddos seemed a bit more relaxed!
Her fan club tonight included Barbie Gramma, Grandpa, Uncle Z, Miss Kaitlyn, Uncle Danny, Rhonda, Cousin Sophie, Mrs. Ferrell and Sammi!!!

The best part about it being the last performance was the kiddos could go up on stage to get pictures with the set ~ they couldn't wait to sit in the spaceship seats :-)
I absolutely LOVE the picture of the cousins!
Of course, Alli also had to pose for some pictures with one of her favorite church buddies!
What an amazing opportunity for Alli and her friends to share the truth about God in such a fun manner!  She did such a great job and we love seeing her shine on stage :-)

Mom's Tea at Pre-K

Today was AMAZING and all because I got to spend the morning with this handsome little man!
We attended the Mother's Tea at his Pre-K class.  Eli was SUPER excited about this.  Last night {when he was supposed to be sleeping!} he came downstairs to give me one more giddy hug as he told me how he couldn't wait for our Mother's Tea ~ so, so sweet!!!  Then, this morning, he happily agreed to put on a collared shirt with buttons and his church shoes.  This is big stuff for Eli as he only likes to wear "cozy clothes!"  

When we arrived, he showed me the flower pot he made for me and on the back of his picture he wrote, "Mommy is grateful"  What a gift to hear that is how my son sees me, now I need to live up to it!!!  We enjoyed some yummy snacks and lemonade, Eli even made a plate for me, though he ate my cinnamon rolls and I ate his strawberries :-)

We played the game Guess the Mom and I had NO trouble guessing me by what Eli had to say ;-)
Yep, Rescue Bots is one of my favorite shows!  Helps that we don't have cable ;-)

After the game, the kiddos sang the sweetest songs and recited a poem.  
PRECIOUS!!!

I had THE BEST time with my little man!
