Award Night

There has been a BIG countdown in our house this week.... a countdown to tonight. Evelyn's AWANA club's big Award Night. She has been just beside herself with excitement because.. get ready... both me and Matthew got to go to club with her!! Isn't that the sweetest?

The whole year, Doug, who is a leader with the grade school kids, is the one who takes her to club. I am home with Matthew. Until tonight. She was just giddy.

To make it better, we surprised her with not one, but BOTH sets of grandparents AND Jody attending as well. Man.. it was like Christmas for the kid! She was beside herself.

She has loved AWANA.. I am so glad she is involved with it. She is already talking about how many days until it starts again (that would be September!).

I'll let the pictures do the rest of the talking....

Grandma and Grandpa Doug

Grandma and Grandad

Jody

Me and my girl... (yep... still no contacts.. hopefully tomorrow!)

Evelyn and her friend Heidi. They are in Sunday school together at our church as well as AWANA. Heidi is the sweetest thing. They are good buddies.

Proud Mom moment... *sigh*

All the "Cubbies" singing for us... so stinkin' cute!

All smiles!


Watching the puppet show very intently!

Getting her awards from her small group leader Maria.. she got her stuff and B-lined to the back of the room to show us! She was so proud... and we were, too!

Oh, how I wish I would have changed settings on my camera to make this picture work. Matthew was such a trooper the entire evening. He loves doing the "1,2,3.. Weeeee" game, so daddy and Jody obliged on the way to the car. Such a happy face.. blurry, but happy!

Evelyn was sad that AWANA was done for the year, but I know she will be equally excited if not more when it starts up again in the fall!!

A very fun night indeed!
