Tulip Time!

Anyone that lives in Holland knows that this week is Tulip Time! I'm dancing with my sister this week so that's been keeping me busy (although alumni doesn't seem to dance nearly as many times as high school).

Ella and Alden came to watch me dance Tuesday night so the kids were able to get some traditional tulip pics (we allowed Alden to be in them even though he didn't have a costume:-D). Layla looks like she dreaming of riding a motercycle in this one:-)...

This was the best one that I got...it's about impossible to try to get all three kids smiling--getting them to all look at the same time is hard enough!

Little Dutch Girl...

Layla and Gavin...

Layla and Mommy...

Elvis wearing his scarf to match Mommy. Joe didn't like him wearing it because it is purple. Joe wears purple so I don't understand why he didn't want his son to wear purple!

Layla and Daddy...

Em and Gavin...

Yesterday Layla and I went street scrubbing before the parade with Em, Gavin, Joyce and two of Mike's sisters and Mike's nieces.

This is how Layla finished up walking the parade...

She enjoyed the parade--even the loud bands!

Yes, Ella, that is your little orange monkey...

Kristi and Cora, Em and Gavin and Layla and me...

More Layla and me...
