School's Out!

Can't believe summer vacation is already here. Violet finished a fantastic year at preschool (really, this preschool was just perfect for her) and Jaxon finished first grade.

Violet was pretty devastated when she found out none of the kids in her class would be going to the same kindergarten as her. But it seemed like an ice cream party the last day of school was all that was needed to lift her spirits. ;)

Violet also finished this year's creative dance program and they had a spring dance concert at BYU. She did so well! It's been so much fun for her to have the class with Laykin.

Jaxon finished the school year with a two short class plays (one in English, one in Chinese), and a beautiful "Chinese Fan Dance" for the school's dance festival. He was much more excited for this dance than last year's hoe-down fiasco. The kids did a great job.

To celebrate the last day of school, we went to Brick Oven. Always a favorite.

It will be nice to get the kids on a steady summer schedule and for them to work on some personal goals.
