Thanksgiving Point--Tulip Festival

The end of April we went with our good friends to the Tulip Festival at Thanksgiving Point.  It was a BEAUTIFUL day.  We loved being outside, enjoying the warm weather, and visiting with friends.

To be a child...

Aliyah's got it made...

She gets to drink the milk out of cereal bowls that are bigger than her head

and wear a dress day and night...always, no matter what...because she is a princess.

This is her singing Cinderella's "A Dream is a Wish"...but it's just snips not the sounds but I think it's still cute to watch her mannerisms.

While We Were Away

Aliyah got to play with cousins ALL WEEK long.  Here are some pictures of her on Easter.

 

The Easter Bunny left her Cinderella slippers and necklaces.

  And the girls of the house

We were so excited to see Aliyah after being gone for 6 days.  The journey home was rough--delayed flight which made us almost miss the second flight--but we eventually made it.  When we picked her up I think she was pretty excited, but she wasn't excited to come home with us.  She was perfectly content staying and playing with cousins.  At least we knew that she had fun and was well taken care of!

It was a wonderful vacation-much needed. But there's nothing like being home.
