I've finally gotten around to blogging

Well, I've finally gotten around to blogging! Sorry for keeping you stuck in January for so long! I'll start out by showing you pictures from spring break. The weekend before spring break I had a ballet performance called "Midsummer's Night Dream" after the last performance I skipped the cast party and headed for Alabama! :) (We decided we were going to Alabama like 2 days before!) We went there to meet Aunt Krista, Uncle Tim, their kids Cade, Cole and Claire, and their cousins. It was a 2 day trip and when we got there we were just in time for the sunset.

The house we stayed in for the week.

Cade and Gracyn hanging out by the beach.

Claire's Aunt Nancy cut her hair for her and it looked very cute.
After Claire's hair cut, it was my turn:) For those who didn't know, I've
been wanting to get my hair cut for quite some time now.
