Our annual trip to Destin was once again so wonderful and relaxing!  A few pics from our first week:

Program & graduation

Austin's preschool year end program and graduation was tonight!  I was so proud of my sweet boy!  For the first time ever, he stood in front of the crowd and sang and danced- loud and proud!  I literally teared up, it was so sweet!  We talked at lengths beforehand about not being scared & how he just needed to look at mommy & daddy during the performance.  I may have bribed him with candy too.....

With Daddy & Mommy before the program

Ms Paige & Ms Amy- we love these ladies!  What a blessing they have been to our family this year!

Austin & Sydney- last year in school together :(

The giraffe class singing their song

Graduation- he said he wanted to be a fireman when he grows up & that his favorite part of school is playing!

Birthday & Baby Shower

This weekend was all about the Dusza girls :)  First off was Evie's 4th Birthday Party- Beauty and the Beast!  The kids had so much fun playing all the games that Mat planned, as well as just playing on the church playground!  Shanna did a great job decorating for the party too!

The birthday girl- 4 years old!

Next up was the baby shower for the twins!  Shanna had another Mickey Mouse baby shower (done just as well....yet totally different than the first one!)  The girls were blessed with so many wonderful gifts- I know everyone is so excited to meet them!

One of Evie's gifts- a minnie mouse purse/bag
