A Quick March Update

So here we are at the end of March, and I haven't posted in a month.  All I can say is tax season is in full bloom around here!  Here a quick post to catch up a little bit.

Last Friday, the school had their annual Boosterthon Jog-A-Thon.  Both the girls ran the maximum of 35 laps; they did great and had a ton of fun!  Here's Lily making one of her laps.
 Mia was excited because she got to hold the American flag for the national anthem and lead her class in holding their sign.
 Ryan took the girls to Moe's for dinner one night and snapped these cute pictures to show me the fun I was missing out on.
 Lily's after school junior cotillion club had their year end dance on the 14th.  It was so cute to watch!  They showed off the manners they had learned and all their line dances.
 There was a class full of Stonehaven (formerly known as ACCA) students!
 One of my employees turned 40 this month, and this was the cake we surprised him with; how awesome is it?!
 I laugh just about every night I go in to check on Mia.  She was rolled up in her sheet with her leg in the air.  I watched her for a couple of minutes thinking she would put it down; nope, it stayed like that!
 Mia is learning to read and spell which is so fun to watch.  She had a playdate with Eliana one afternoon and she made this chalk drawing beforehand.  I loved that she wrote "I'm gowen to Elian's house tomorrow" and then drew their pictures.  What a sweetheart who is "gowen."
 Eliana's mom took this picture, and I just thought it was a sweet one.  Mia wants to move in with them because "they have the best climbing tree!"  She had a blast over there!
Only other noteworthy March happening that I can think of is we celebrated my birthday on the 14th.  I took the day off from work (celebration enough right there) to be with my family.  We went to see Cinderella at the theater since it had just been released.  It was wonderful!  Then I took Lily to her cotillion dance which was lots of fun to see, and I saw lots of friends there.  Lastly Ryan grilled some amazing steaks for us.  It's nice to have a "real" meal here in the middle of tax season when we rely so much on fast food and super quick dinners.  It was a fun and relaxing day!
