Carnival

   Last Friday, Ashlyn's school held their annual spring carnival.  We had a great time and they do an amazing job putting it all together.  It was crazy to me that last year, Gracie was just a newborn, and a this year she was a walking girl trying to run around everywhere. 
    They put a lot of work into the carnival and it showed.  They had lots and lots of games to play to earn prizes.  The kids had a great time playing different games and winning prizes.  Ashlyn is very lucky to go to such a neat school that does wonderful events like these.  We ended the night with the best treat ever: Ella got to spend the night.  I made the kids a big bed on the floor in front of the TV and they got to watch a movie. I heard lots of giggles coming out of our family room. 

They started the night with pizza

Doing the cupcake walk.  Dawson won a cupcake.  Ashlyn got pretty jealous. 

Gracie had such a fun time.

We invited Ella to come and join in on the fun.  She had a great time. 

Showing off his loot. 

Ashlyn's school is a newer school and it has this large rotunda area with a very tall circular ceiling.  The theme this year was carnival and they really went above and beyond.  I was very impressed with this decoration they made that made it feel like a real carnival.  I just can't imagine the time it took.

Face painting time

She was so happy with her face painting.  She didn't want to wash it off. 

Ashlyn just got a rainbow.
