Marshmallow world

With the end of the school year comes ballet recitals. Both Jenna and Sarah are Marshmallow characters in their ballet recitals. Jenna is in the "big show" downtown at the Capital theater (3 hours long!!). Both girls are dancing to the same song "It's a marshmallow world in the winter." 

Jenna is doing ballet and Sarah is doing tap dance.  They are doing a great job in dance and they are adorable! Matthew also loves "baayet" and always wants to dance with his sisters.

Sarah had her last day of preschool on Wednesday. She had a graduation ceremony complete with diploma. Now she is officially a kindergartener. The mom next to me was in tears. Her youngest of 4 was going to kindergarten. Maybe I will be in tears when Matthew goes to Kindergarten. Probably not.
