What a great Mother's Day. We enjoyed the day and had my Mom over for grilled steak and shrimp and corn on the cob - yum! My friend Stephanie sent me this list of questions and I thought it would be fun to ask the girls for their answers - Taylor said "I don't know" for quite a few, so I left those responses out:)

The rest of our weekend was fun as well. Friday night Anna had a make-up soccer game and she was on fire! She really enjoys soccer and would play "any time, any where". I love that she is so passionate about the sport. After the game, Erik took the girls to a Father/Daughter dance (for Girl Scouts). They had fun dancing up a storm. Here's a picture of them before they left.
Saturday was more soccer and an ice skating party for Anna (it's only her 2nd time out on skates and she was able to skate across the middle by the time she was done!) Then my mom watched the kids while Erik and I went out to dinner to celebrate our 10 year wedding anniverary. It was a much needed night out - thank you mom! Here are some other fun pictures of the weekend.
