Week of April 25th

What a beautiful weekend! I hope that you and your family were able to enjoy it. 
Last week was tremendous! Between Grandparents'/Special Friends' Day and the operetta, there was a lot going on. If you haven't already, take a second to look through all the pictures from that special day.
Although much of our time last week was spent preparing for the operetta, here's a look back at a few moments...
 I'm looking forward to having a fun, albeit ordinary week this week!
