May is always really full as the school year wraps up, and this year was no exception. We started the month with Charley's birthday party. She had a really fun sleepover with her two besties, Allie and Addie. The boys had art night at school and Briggs performed in the second grade music performance (singing and dancing) and also played ukulele for the volunteer breakfast. Lily rehearsed like crazy for her OnStage production of Legally Blonde at Children's Theater, and her hard work paid off. It was a great show! Testing wrapped up for the girls and it's on to the fun last bit of the year... Summer energy is in the air. :)
