Summer Solstice Celebration at Megans House

We got together with some of our dear friends to celebrate the beginning of Summer. It was a perfect day, full of friends and plenty of activities to keep me and the other mama's busy.

Making Sun Crowns for the children. I think us mama's were way more into making them then the kids were. It was SO FUN!

I might have gone a little over-board on Adelaide's sun crown

Megan and Phoenix who welcomed to their house for the day

They all had little wands too

I really love Adelaide's smile in this picture

Here we all are! Jeremiah was there for a while too - he took the picture.

 

Emmylou wanted to eat Adelaide's crown

My girls make me SO HAPPY!

We dried citrus in the solstice sun, so we could have some summer sun to bring indoors in the winter.

Morning Story Time

Hazel and Quinn come to visit

Baby Quinn is over a month younger than Emmylou - but he is bigger! He is a big healthy boy. Adelaide and Hazel had fun playing together in the yard. The weather could not be nicer.

Emmylou

Emmylou's first time in the swing

Adelaide and I took Lua to the park for her first time in the swings. She was so relaxed, but seemed to have a great time!

Emmylou has food for the FIRST TIME EVER

We decided to puree some sweet potatoes for Emmylou. It didn't really seem like she was quite ready for food yet. We are still a little bit early anyway...so we will give her more time.

First Dance Recital

Adelaide had her very first dance recital. Her dance class is very small, so there was only her and one other girl, and there was not a lot of practice before hand, so the whole thing was a bit of a mess. I think it was harder on me than it was on Adelaide, but it was still a really good night and a fun experience for us all. Even Lisa and Jamie got to come, it was their last night in town.

 We all went out to dinner first at the Little Miss Delta. It was a yummy dinner of Southern Food.

Walking to the place for the recital - we were all so excited!

Watching the first performance. Adelaide was only the 3rd song in, so not much time to figure out how things work yet.

Adelaide and Clover - the two in her dance class.

Both laying down in the middle of their song, right before the teacher turned off the music only half way through. It was kind of a bad song choice because everyone kept thinking it was over when it wasn't. It didn't help that the girls weren't really moving around much =( The teacher was off to the side on stage, but they are used to her dancing with them, so it was all a bit confusing. Then there was a breakdown at the end because Adelaide didn't understand why the song stoped early. She did love being on stage though!!! Not sure if that is good or bad?!

Adelaide's first haircut

Usually my dad gets his haircut on June 1st (his birthday), but this year it was Punkie's turn. We had to tell Adelaide many times before Jamie came, that it will NOT hurt when she gets her hair cut, she was very worried about that. A huge thanks to Aunt Jamie for giving her a beautiful trim. It looks so pretty!

Assessing the situation

3 year olds don't hold their heads still for very long - I had to assist.

Good thing we have Adelaide to teach Emmylou how to brush her teeth. She loves it!
