Sophie's preschool graduation

Can you believe it? Sophie graduated from United Preschool here in Albert Lea this week! Here's a few of her at the graduation ceremony, plus one of Landon at the end. :) This week we also got to go to an open house at the elementary school that Sophie will be going to in the fall. She's so excited!

I decided to take the kids to an Easter egg hunt at one of our grocery stores in town. Needless to say, it was packed, and it didn't turn out like we had expected... 

Anyways, here is Sophie ready for the egg hunt to begin!

 

Landon hanging out in the cart :)

 

Sophie looking underneath a shelf at the store. Because so many kids showed up, there weren't enough eggs for everybody. Sophie never got an egg, but every kid at least got a water and apple at the end. :)

Sophie turns 5!

Can you believe it? Sophie is 5!! She was so excited this year for her birthday! During the week we celebrated as a family with a cookie cake and presents from family. 

Then on Saturday, we had a party for Sophie's friends from church at Burger King. The kids played in the playpark thingy, ate cake and then Sophie opened presents. Call me lazy, but it was the perfect place to have a party with minimal cleanup. :) Sophie loved it!

 

Love this picture of Sophie :)

 Landon wasn't too happy to have his picture taken. Ha!

 Trying to get a better picture of both of them together but couldn't get them both looking at the camera.

Sophie and her friends (minus 2 that came late).

Landon turns 1! :)

 Landon made a grab for the cake before we even had a chance to sing to him. Then we had to pull the cake away! (He's got that look on his face: What do you think you're doing?)

 (Mmmm.... this is good!)

 Here's Landon in his new jammies! :)
(I'm still trying to get a good picture of Landon smiling so you can see all of his new teeth, but I'll have to try again another day!)
