Macaleer Family: April 2012

Willa's preschool, Lakeside Co-op, has a Trike-a-Thon fundraiser each spring. Willa had friends and family sponsor her to ride her bike ad many laps as possible to raise money. Willa did great, had a blast and had quite the cheering section! Mommy, daddy, Adlai, GG, GranJan, Ann Marie, Andrew and Olivia were all there to cheer her on! Here are some pics and even a video from the event!

Willa and Olivia check out the competition... I think they were actually checking out the baby doll bike seat.

Um...mommy, daddy s going to have to figure out how to do this to my bike!

Olivia made a sign to cheer Willa on! Will is doing a little jig... Go Willa! It's your trike-day! Go, Willa!

Hey girls say cheese...not kidding...this is what they did. I wonder what kind of teenagers they will be?

The crowd is getting ready to cheer!

Lining up...ready to race!

Willa's got her game face on!

GranJan cheering Willa on. Ms. Amy got GranJan to be one of he lap counters for Willa's heat. She truly got a front row seat!

Giant collision!

Willa skirting the outside of the traffic jam!

She pulls ahead! P.S. this is not actually a race...

What a cheering section! Every time Willa came around Olivia would yell "good job Willa"! So cute! So cute that I didn't get any pics of daddy and GG cheering in the back row!

Either the sun is in her eyes or she is seriously trying to intimidate the competition!

Final lap!

Cute!

Olivia takes a lap on Willa's bike. Little does she know that Andrew is on his way with her brand new bike!

A little dinner between play!

The new bike! Goodness knows how they got Ann Marie to run around with them but she was a trooper!

Adlai gave it a shot, too!

They had a little show for the kids after dinner. Many of the kiddos ended up on stage...see if you can find Willa!

Christ is Risen!

Easter is a special day around our house! Willa runs around the house saying "Christ is risen!" expecting everyone and anyone to answer "He is risen indeed!" We started our morning with "spring baskets". Willa wasn't buying our name change... it was just an Easter basket to her! Oh well! We celebrated with our fellow believers at our church then headed home to break bread with our family and dear friends the Goldsberry's.

The "spring" baskets!

Adlai wasn't even a little bit interested in her basket at first. She is obsessed with knocking on doors and saying knock, knock. Here she is knocking...
