Carli's 6th Birthday

Carli turned six on September 4th this year. She's so beautiful and fun, our family is so blessed to have her with us. She loves to sing and dance so for her birthday I built her a stage (complete with spotlights) with the help of my friend Ben Ledford.










Working in my design studio, late at night. Reminds me of mom staying up all night sewing Easter and Christmas dresses.


I'm lucky to have access to the wood shop on campus and a talented friend.


Ta-Da! 1 am and it was finally completed!


That night we went to dinner with our adopted Grandparents, Mike and Lynn Ahlstrom



Aaron wasn't digging the kiss from his sister to say thank you for the presant


Oddly enough, we didn't get a shot of Carli singing and dancing, but we did get one of Zack doing his impression of the group Stomp!, with a little Elvis at the end. And yes, this will be coming out again when he is 16 and dating.
