"God's Not Dead 2" Movie

Pictures taken Apr. 3 ~

We saw the movie, "God's Not Dead 2", and we thought it was better than the first movie!  It is a courtroom drama about a high school history teacher that gets suspended for answering a student's question about Jesus. 

A sweet hug with Grandma at church that morning.  <3

A blue ICEE and popcorn are Elli's favorite movie snacks!

Pediatric Dentist Appt.

Pictures taken Mar. 30 ~
Our dentist referred Elli to a pediatric dentist to look at some possible cavities.  It turned out that the little specks were not cavities! (at least not yet)

Elli loved the fun underwater-themed dentist's office!

An indoor slide!

While Elli's teeth were being cleaned, they gave her sunglasses to wear for the bright light so she could still watch the Disney channel on the television!

The dentist said no more gummy vitamins and foods like gummy fruit snacks...

Elli got a token to trade for a little prize.
