Dancing with the Rock Stars

Ben had a 5th grade dance at school.  He thought it was going to be lame.  I totally had to convince him to go.  He wasn't even sure if any friends were going.  You were asked to dress as your favorite "star".  If you throw a video game element at him, he tends to agree to things.  So he dressed as Slash, from Guns N'Roses and Guitar Hero.  And won the best dressed contest for a boy.  The girl winner had dressed as country singer Taylor Swift.  He had a blast.

Mary's geocache habit

Okay, I might like it as much or more than the kids.  The first step is to admit you have a problem, right?

Molly and I

Molly, my friend I shared my party with, received a crucifix as a present. It had dirt from Bethlehem. Nicely secured into glass. Guess what? It broke!
In this picture, we are picking the dirt off Molly's dress.--Eliza 

More Communion Weekend shots

Eliza had the treat of having her hair and nails done by professionals--Melissa and Aunt Laurie. She admitted to me today that she was getting a bit antsy during the process, but she was so happy with the results,  and she felt so pretty.

Eliza's Communion Weekend

We had a fantastic weekend filled with lots of love and laughter. Thanks to everyone for traveling here and sharing Eliza's special day! We treasure these memories! (We asked some folks to make funny faces, some just have them naturally!)
