Kindergarten Performance

Last Wednesday, Finley and Cainan had their Kindergarten Performance.  It was really cute.  They sang songs, and then after the classes had little parties where we gave the teachers there end of the year presents.  I took some video, but then my camera died.  I took some more on my phone, so if I ever figure out how to get it off of there, I will put it on the blog.  Finley was really into it.  She did great.

Here are the little videos:  I could only get two to cooperate.  I will try again tomorrow.

Enjoy the pictures.

Cainan's 6th Birthday Friend party

Last weekend we had Cainan's party with his friends.  He was so excited about having this party, he could hardly stand it.  We have always waited to have a friend party until the kids are in Kindergarten.  So this was a big deal.  Plus, on top of that, since Finley and Cainan were babies, they have always had their birthday's together.  So this was his OWN special day.

There were about 22 kids in all - including my own.  We went to a place called Jump On In.  It is an indoor jump house place that is really fun for the kids.  They love it.  There are two huge rooms of bounce houses, and the kids got to bounce for about 1 1/2 hours.  After that, we go into the party room, and we had pizza and cupcakes and ice cream. 

Cainan had a blast.  All the kids seemed to have fun.  Enjoy the pictures!!
