Kate's Easter Program

Kate's preschool had their Annual Easter Program and Brunch right before Spring Break. She loved singing but did not enjoy the Bunny Ears and Make-Up. In fact, she made me take it all off right after the program. I did manage to get a picture of her with her best friend, Catie. Catie lives just down the street and they went to school together last year. They are two peas in a pod and love to play together. They have spent much of the summer swimming together at the pool, too.

There was an Easter Egg Hunt. Kate loved this part but took forever to find her eggs because she was very picky about what she picked up. The egg hunt was inside the school since it was rainy and cold outside. We were so ready for spring to arrive!

Time for some “Ketchup”?

OK….so, half of the year is gone and I haven't posted a single thing. I think FaceBook took over, perhaps.

We have had a busy winter/spring doing things like….

Playing in the snow! The kids got their 1^st Snow Day EVER. It started snowing during church on Sunday, and this picture was taken Sunday afternoon. They were so excited but very disappointed when the snow melted around lunchtime Monday when the sun came out! The next weekend was around 70*…

Celebrating Zane's 8^th Birthday…& Baptism! Zane had 5 friends spend the night. We went to Monkey Joe's to play and have pizza and then back to our house for a movie night sleepover. We had a Candy Buffet. That was a huge hit for the boys. You can imagine the terror this obsessive-compulsive mom had when they took their candy buckets and popcorn down to the basement to spread out on my brand new furniture. Yikes. We all survived, though! J

Zane was lucky enough to have lots of family in town for his Baptism. My parents came from Texas and Steve's parents came from Alabama. My sister-in-law and her family even came from Minnesota (it happened to fall during their spring break----lucky us!). We had lots of fun with the short visit from family and it was extra-special for Zane at his Baptism.

Celebrating Kate's 4^th Birthday…Princess Style! Kate turned 4 and had her first Big-Girl Birthday Party. We invited the little girls from her pre-school class for a Princess Party. It was so much fun to plan! We decorated Tiaras & wands, played princess games, searched for gold coins, and pulled the strings on a piñata. Kate had lots of fun and did not want her birthday to end…

….And that is just through February….Part 2 Coming Soon.
