Today my little donned the goalie pads and headed between the pipes.  She did stellar for her first time in net.

Friday is swimming day for Violet, so for todays picture of the day I have a picture of her swimming. I love watching her swim. She tries so hard. 

Tonight we have a picture of Violet hard at work at her Hockey Skills class this afternoon. The best part of both kids classes on Thursday nights is how hard the both try.

Tonight we have a picture of two stuffed animals that Violet got for her birthday.  There something about there big eyes that I find creepy, but Violet loves.

Today Violet turned 6. It seems a little unreal, my little girl is 6 years old. The picture of the day today is Violet sitting with her new American Girl Grace.

Tonight Melissa was hard at work, wrapping up Violet’s gifts and making her a homemade Mint Chocolate Chip and Oreo Ice Cream Cake, for our little family celebration tomorrow. Her big celebration will happen next week with a bunch of her friends from school.

Tonight before heading to bed Violet took a bag of Arts and Crafts Pipe cleaners and turned them all into little hearts for Mommy.  It was such a sweet thought that I had to capture it as  my picture of the day.

Tonight I break a rule with my picture of the day. I’m using a picture I  already shared, but this really is the only picture I could choose.  The kids are used to seeing their Nan Everyday and she’s been gone for more than 2 weeks. So this picture of the three of them has to be shared.

Today in Violet’s bag I found something I have looked forward to since she started school. Today her first Snuggle Up and Read books came home. I always loved it when Jacob brought home his Snuggle Up and Read Books (POD: Snuggle-Up-and-Read, POD: Snuggle-Up-and-Read 2, and POD: Snuggle up and Read Update). I can’t wait to snuggle up with Violet and read her books.

Today was Hockey Skills for young Violet, and power skating for Jacob. For today’s picture of the day I have Violet skating between little pillions. I love watching the kids during these classes. They both give it their all, trying to do what ever the coaches ask of them. I just hope they can use it in there hockey games.
