More Spring Break Fun

One day during spring break I took the kids to Walmart to buy some outdoor toys. We got some balls, a bat, badmiton set, bubbles and chalk. On the way home we stopped and got happy meals. The intention was to take the food to the school for a picnic but Jett fell asleep on the way home so they just ate in the backyard. We went over to the school once Jett woke up. When we got home the kids played outside some more with their chalk and bubbles until we had to take Kaiya to dance.






Kaiya has been working really hard and learned how to do her back walkovers. It's her new favorite thing to do and she does it all the time.



Decorating Eggs

After Ella's Birthday party we decorated Easter eggs. I almost didn't do it since it had been a crazy-busy day and we were all worn out but I just couldn't not do it. Starley was still here playing with the girls so she also decorated some eggs. Kaiya and her had fun making Auburn Dance themed eggs. Ella and Ava had fun with the glitter and coloring the eggs.

Easter

Easter morning we woke up and went to church. The girls were itching to see what the Easter bunny brought them but they had to wait until we got home. Jett went to sleep so he missed the girls opening up their Easter baskets. Once he woke up he opened up his then the kids went for an Easter egg hunt. Jett figured out very fast that the eggs were good and there was candy inside of them. He had so much candy that he was running around like a crazy guy.
I am also not sure who had more fun...the girls or Cirdan. I had to remind Cirdan that the hunt was for the kids and not for him. He would rush and steal away an egg before Kaiya could get to it (he was getting them for Jett). It was funny/disturbing to watch.
We made some stuffed french toast the night before so all we had to do was bake it. It was delish! After our brunch and hunt we relaxed for a while before heading over to Nate and Amy's house for Easter dinner. The kids had another Easter egg hunt in the backyard. It was awesome to be able to have the weather nice enough to do it outside. That doesn't happen very often. After the hunt we sat down and ate some very tasty food. It was nice to celebrate with the family.











A Pinkalicious Birthday Party


The Saturday after Ella's birthday we had a Pinkalicious birthday party! Pinkalicious is a fun book series that she loves to read. It was full of pink! Pink, pink, pink everywhere!There were cute girls and a couple of cute boys in attendance. Ella also loved the fact that one of her favorite people was there....Starley! The kids decorated crowns (boys decorated cars), played in the playroom, ate pizza and cake and opened presents. I had the stuff for the kids to decorate cupcakes but we ran out of time. It was also a treat to have Ava here for Spring Break so she was able to be at the party.
