MOA with Melenie

Melenie, Brian, and Elena came up to Minnesota

Here is Alexis waiting for Melenie in front of Macy's
at the Mall of America

We went to Nickelodeon Universe
and it was practically EMPTY

Elena was too adorable and wanted to hold
Alexis' hand

Alexis rode this ride 3 times,
and was the only rider for 2 of the 3 times

Elena and Melenie

Alexis rode this twice,
she got off and got right back on...

We were there for about 4 hours,
Elena hung in there as best she could

Those snowballs were HEAVY

While Alexis rested,
Adriana decided to put the sled to helpful use.

Team work was needed

Oops! Adriana pulled so hard, she fell

Big Pancake

While Alexis took a bath,
Lori cooked her a BIG pancake

It should have made at least 4 pancakes

She didn't eat very much though

It took Lori 2 hours to snack on the rest,
before it was gone

Moments

The Fishers have been dear friends for over 4 years

They moved to Washington State,
so we said, "Goodbye"

Adriana had a photo shoot for
Young Women

Alexis was attending Activity Girls

They are SO pretty!

Hairy!

We had some "hairy" experiences.

Lori had an idea for Adriana's hair,
that she hasn't done in a long time.

We think it turned out pretty good.
She even got compliments from 7th and 8th graders at school.

Alexis got her strawberry hair dyed...

RED!

Thanks Ann, you did wonderfully

She actually got red highlights throughout

It sure is a dramatic change

Adriana earned Student of the Month

Best of all...
Papa came to visit and see Alexis doing gymnastics.
