Weekend Wrap-Up: The Father's Day Edition

First up, Happy Father's Day to Chris, Pa, and Papa!!!  We got to see Pa and Papa today briefly, but unfortunately I didn't take any pictures.  LAME!  But anyway, we are so lucky to have so many wonderful dads/grandpas/papas in our lives.

Speaking of dads, I am missing my dad extra today.  Here is what I posted on Facebook:

I just keep reminding myself: GRATITUDE.  Gratitude gratitude gratitude.

We had a busy weekend!  As I mentioned on Friday, Chris and I went to our friend Rachael's wedding (out in the country!).  We have known her for over 10 years and I used to teach with her at my old school.  It had been a long time since we had seen her, and was fun to be there for her day.  I also saw another old coworker, Jenny, who I hadn't seen in years.

On Saturday morning we celebrated Father's Day early with a brunch at Auntie Cat's house.  There was games and chalk and delicious food.

And two little girls who wouldn't smile for the family picture.

Saturday night was DANCE RECITAL night!!!!  We weren't allowed to take any pictures or video of the actual show, but lucky for you all I took a video of their dress rehearsal to show you.  They slayed it then, and they slayed it for the recital as well.  The crowd LOVED them, and clearly thought they were adorable.  Which they were, of course.  Enjoy her tap dance, "Hard Knock Life!"

So cute, right?

Before the show, my Aunt Mary sent me a picture of my first dance recital.  So, of course, I had to do a side-by-side.

She was nervous for the show, but still allowed herself to be bribed by fruit snacks to take pictures beforehand.  Maya, Chris and Uncle Dan came to watch Callie and then went home.  G-ma, Pa, and Auntie Cat stayed for the whole thing.  Props to them- it didn't get done til almost 10pm!

All the dancers take part in the finale number at the end.  Again, I couldn't film it on show night, but I did on dress rehearsal night.  Since Cal's group is the youngest, they didn't join the dance until the end.  But so cute...again.

Callie was EXHAUSTED when we picked her up after the show.  She got to bed about 10:30, which is the latest she has ever stayed up by a long shot.  Thankfully she slept until almost 8:30 this morning.  We were worried that she'd wake up at her usual 6:30 and be super crabby all day.  So far, so good.

This morning we went to a fun climbing park before it got too hot out.

Then we went to lunch, had nap/quiet time, went to G-ma and Pa's house, and went to church.  Mari came over after church to have pizza and watch the Lynx game.  Unfortunately it wasn't shown on TV, so we had to stream it on the laptop.

This week Callie has TENNIS camp in the afternoons!  Gross motor coordination has never been her thing, so it should be interesting (and hilarious).
