Easter '14, Tennis, and Dance Competition

Easter this year was wonderful. We had the neighborhood easter egg hunt. Salem was nervous around the Easter Bunny, but was able to stay clear of him and get his eggs.  Avery did her best to get her eggs among the older age group this year. They had a cookie making station and other games.  The kids had a blast.  Tim also got confirmed in the church on Easter Vigil.  I'm so proud of him!
Tim and I had our annual tennis tournament date night. Jankovic played a young american.  Thanks to Tim's tennis buddies for box seats.  It was amazing to watch.  It'll be so much fun to take the kids to some of the night matches when their older.
Avery is on a pre-competition dance team. They just do one competition this season to get a taste of what it is like.  Of course, princess loved being on stage and really enjoyed being with her dance buddies for the weekend. It will be interesting to see if she takes to competitive dancing like I did. Right now, she adores it. However, she loves doing everything! Time will tell...

We had some time to hit the beach during the competition weekend. This is Avery and Poppy hunting for sand crabs.
