the last week the entire withers family has been on spring break. ahhh...can you hear our muscles relaxing? It was fun being able to spend quality time with our entire family. Here are some of the highlights from our break...
 it was time to break out the beergaritas...it is FIESTA time!

 high stakes LIFE anyone?
 bobby was the banker...he doesn't look too relaxed, yet!  
 some spring baking

 on wednesday we spent the entire day in the cities...we started out at the mall of america riding rides at nickelodeon universe
  



 




 after some fun at moa, we drove to st. paul to visit "the nook". it was featured on "diners, drive-ins, and dives" so we thought we had better check it out! 


 awesome burgers! 
 throughout the week  my parents were busily helping us transform our basement...here is dad putting up wallpaper!  


 on saturday we celebrated our nieces - kaytlin and elana's - birthdays at olive garden. 
 the sederholm and withers families
the girls even squeezed in a little play date with their friend, piper over break.
it was an AWESOME spring break! we hope you are able to have some fun with your family this spring...

disney on ice...

we surprised the girls with tickets to "disney on ice" last weekend. We headed into the cities after church and stopped off for some lunch at the Macaroni Grille. The girls had a great time at the show (as did the adults!). There is just something so magical about Mickey Mouse...

here's hoping that one day we will be able to take our girls to see Mickey Mouse at HIS house!

101 dalmatians...

livia performed in "101 dalmatians" for her third grade musical on thursday. She was "Penny", one of Pongo and Perdita's 15 puppies. Livia loved every minute of the play, and afterwards she said, "I am sad that it is all over!" I can't believe our little Livia is a third grader!
