ACS Mother-Daughter Weekend

Since the Second through Fourth grade classes are small and close, I thought it would be fun to have all the girls and their moms come out to the lake for an overnight. I was unsure how it would work, but it was so fun. The girls all really get along and I really love each of the moms. It is a special group indeed. Most of us were the "First Families" to the school so we each have a commitment to the school that newer families probably don't have. We have all grown so much with the school and have watched it change so much from year to year.

I went out on Friday with Melissa and Dusty and our girls along with the Crager girls. That was a fun way to have a relaxing night out there before the crowd arrived.

Melissa organized "Minute to Win It" games - so fun!

Matthew's 4th Birthday!

Matthew really did not have an opinion about what he wanted to do for his birthday! So I decided to get Tiny Tails to You to come again. It is their 3rd time coming to a Risinger party and probably our last (sniff sniff). Here are some shots from the day -
