Carnaval 2016

Aimy's second Carnaval was much more positive than last year. This time she was healthy and happy and had a blast (not that she didn't have fun last time, but the fun of Carnaval last year was overshadowed by her illness). Alixe was much more aware of what was going on too, and for a week afterwards she kept thinking that every time we went to pick up Aimy that it would be Carnaval all over again. She's definitely looking forward to participating in her own Carnaval!

This year's theme was the Forest, and Aimy's class dressed up as trees. She was so proud of her costume, and was more than upset when Alixe managed to rip a few leaves off of it when our backs were turned... good thing Mummy has a glue gun!

Goofy little tree!

One of the classes came as mushrooms. The woman in the
middle is a good friend and fellow trumpet player in the
local concert band, and her son is holding her left hand.

Another good friend, pointing me out - I took pictures
for all the moms and dads who were participating in Carnaval

Up in flames! Too bad this year the
warm spring weather didn't arrive right
after... we've had a very cool 2016
so far!
