The girls introduced the YW values with giant conversation hearts.
Each table was decorated with paper hearts and heart-shaped bowls filled with conversation hearts. We had a great turnout!
One of the leaders, Andrea, hand-painted this gorgeous banner on linen (!) to introduce the YW Motto, Logo, and class symbols. It was absolutely stunning!
Stephanie made a cute Power Point presentation to teach everyone how to do their Personal Progress online!
Some of the girls wrote a hilarious skit about falling in love with "Percy Progress" (a cardboard cutout of Taylor Lautner). They each took turns flirting with/drooling all over him. I laughed my head off! 
They are just so cute and funny! I love these girls!
Our girls are so smart and strong and talented. They make me want to be better in every way! They are also so lighthearted and fun. They do goofy thing that make me think, "hey that's something I would have done as a young woman!" I feel so blessed to get to know them and spend time with them.
We ended the night with cake and yummy raspberry punch. 
Hannah is a BIG fan of Mickey and the gang! The darling shirt from Nana and Papa says it all!
Hannah's Minnie Mouse cake.
I love this picture of Hannah opening her present from Nana and Papa! My mom's expression is priceless - watching Hannah's face, hoping that she likes it. (My mom had a traumatic experience with an unappreciated birthday gift when she was a child. It has scarred her for life!)
Minnie AND Daisy!!! Hannah loves them! (Immediately after this, Hannah looked in the bag again and said, "Donald?" Apparently she thought she was getting the whole gang!)
Thank you, Nana and Papa!
Hannah lined up her new friends with her brothers' Mickeys. Then she laid down on her tummy with her face in her hands and just stared at them. She is such a girl; I love it!
Hannah taking Daisy for a ride in her new shopping cart. Thanks, Grandma and Grandpa Anderson!
...and Father's Day too (love ya, Babe!)
We love BBQs!
Your playhouse and police car are getting LOTS of love, Lanes! THANKS!
I made a doctor scrubs cake for the occasion.
Cake! Guess what I'm going to do...
Mission accomplished.
I made beach cupcakes. (Thanks for finding the umbrellas for me, Kimberly!)
Outside we played beach games like Limbo...
...Musical Beach Towels, and a Water Balloon Toss with beach towels.
Here's Andrew's class. Andrew was lucky enough to have his best friend, Noah, in his class again and TWO fantastic teachers, Mrs. Bates and Mrs. Devine.
Today was a pretty memorable last day of school, as the power was out all morning. They had a generator to supply power to the school most of the time, but near the end they lost the generator too, and were in the dark. It was raining, so they canceled the traditional flag-lowering ceremony, but Andrew got to show me his self-portrait in chalk outside.
Because of the weather, we had to skip our planned picnic at the park, and picnicked at our kitchen table instead. They didn't seem to mind.
