Sarah Kathryn's School Celebration

We got to celebrate Sarah Kathryn's birthday at her school the Thursday before her birthday which was on a Saturday.  Her class is called "young 2s" so about half of the kids in her class are born in April.  We picked up donuts, she wore a cupcake shirt, and she was ready!

Neil had a meeting so he couldn't come with us. :(  Bennett had a dentist appointment right after so he got to come with me!

Free play

I started to put out the plates and napkins, but SHE wanted to do it.  I love how much she takes after me!

This girl!

Praying before snack.

Thrilled about her crown and her candle!

How fun to celebrate our BIG 3 year old!!!

Easter 2017

We celebrated Easter at home this year, went to church, flowered the cross, at lunch at Dad's, and celebrated our risen Lord!  He is risen!  What a beautiful day to celebrate!

I have one of them like this from last year, too.  So sweet of all my babies.

Flowering the cross with her Sunday School class.  I love SK in all white.

Carolyn and Dad made sure to have a kid friendly meal.  Cheetos and juice boxes for the kids.  So sweet and accommodating!

Bennett flowering the cross with his class.  He is always so serious.

Easter bunny loot

What a fun pink filled basket!  She got a necklace, bracelet, and all the pink things!

The boys got pool toys and their favorite: a pooping bunny rabbit.

There's always one not smiling.

Egg Dyeing 2017

Egg dyeing is one of my favorite Easter traditions.  It is so pretty, messy, and just downright fun!  It doesn't last long around here no matter how many eggs I boil!

Easter Partying

We had so many Easter fun things to do this year.  From Easter hat parade to seeing the Easter bunny, we've done it all this season!

Henry had the most celebrations ever!  He was excited that I was in charge of the Easter snack along with Emma's mom.  He feels so cool knowing "he" is bringing the snacks.

Emma's mom made those adorable twinkie bun cars and everyone loved them!  We brought the fruit/peep kabobs and cutejjuice cups.

These cuties are so ready for Kindergarten!

Next, it was time for Easter lunch at Bennett's school.  2nd/3rd gets to have Easter lunch so this was our first time to celebrate with him at school.  Basically you just go and eat lunch...nothing fancy.  I did pick up Wendy's and cute Easter cookies at Julieanne's for him.

I love this big boy so much!

All the boys jumped in with us! so cute!

I didn't get to go to Sister's party. They really didn't invite us to any of their parties.  I got this picture off Facebook.  

My girl and her boots=winning

Henry used his totally awesome fireman Easter hat the past 2 years.  I saved that thing to use this year because I knew we'd need it.  No clue where it went.  We searched in every closet, storage, shop, and bin.  Never found it anywhere!  I couldn't believe we lost it!  I kept saying "I don't want to make a new one for only 1 year!"  Henry replied "but, it's fun!"  MOM FAIL.

So, we got to making our new Easter hat and it turned out so much cuter than the other one and Henry actually got to help. We had fun and it loved it.  Win-win!

SK came home the day before the Easter hat parade with a stomach bug.  There were only 4 kids in her class who didn't get it.  So sad.  I had to miss the Easter hat parade!  I had some sweet friends send pictures to me.  So thankful for that!

The Easter hat parade was a success!

Cuties! Davis and Henry

Oh Henry!

SomeBUNNY is 3!

I knew from the moment I was pregnant with SK that this child's 3rd birthday would be an egg hunt.  I knew before I knew she was a girl!  Some say I am crazy...I say I am a planner!

We planned her birthday the week before Easter because Neil, the brothers, and Granddad were going to be out of town on her actual birthday.  We planned her birthday around the church Pig Roast and Egg Hunt!  This girl had a great birthday!

She is such a hostess!  She helped me stuff the eggs and made sure people had fun.  I love it!

It was so much fun decorating and planning out her party details. She loved every bit of it.  The boys never seemed to notice any of the party details, but she noticed everything!

I made the egg garland while getting my hair done one day.  Gotta multitask.

Bunny ears were The Festive Favor.

Mom helped me cut out the fruit into chicks and bunnies

I loved the cake!  And it tasted good, too!

Bunny food

The Face painter was a hit!

So excited!  She still talks about it!
