Birthday Party Round-Up: Natalia and Layla

Dillon's good buddies Natalia and Layla have birthdays close to each other so we get double doses of birthday fun.

First, Natalia went to Jump Zone. We've been here before, remember?

Dillon and BFF Valeria.

And Layla had a super fun party at the YMCA full of gymnastics.

Airborne!

Even Quinny participated!

Timeout Together

I may have mentioned that Quinn loves to copy Dillon--this is good and bad and almost always funny. One day I gave Dillon a timeout and she had to sit by the front door. Quinn immediately went over and sat down beside her, probably wondering how to play the timeout game!

Easter Photo Shoot

Grandma sent the girls matching purple dresses, whose construction required an absurd amount of tulle. But they looked super cute and loved twirling around.

Quinn didn't want to sit.

They also got matching dolls.

Lots of tulle.

I love it when they hold hands.

Going around in circles.

Dillon's First Recital

Dillon has been taking a keyboard class at school and a few months ago they had their first recital. Dillon was supposed to play "It's a Small World," but refused to practice. I was a little concerned she was going to get to performance day and completely freeze...but guess what? She actually did a great job...for a five year old who doesn't practice anyway.

Zooropa

As I may have mentioned, this year we traded in our SeaWorld passes for zoo passes. We tried them out for the first time with Dillon's buddy Layla and her family. Lots more pix to come!

Sisters with a game plan.

Lion love.

Sea lion playground was a favorite.

Visiting "Africa."

Quinny contemplates the flamingos.

Fairy Tales

Sometimes you put your daughter to bed in her pyjamas, but check on her later and see she added fairy wings and a tutu. Because this kid's imagination never stops.
