The beginning of April started off with beautiful spring weather. That means plenty of time outside painting, playing soccer, and great warm nights with friends.
Some moms from Em's school had been planing an Easter Egg Hunt for the kids the weekend before Easter. What do you know, my seldom-sick-girls were both sick and couldn't make it to enjoy all the fun! Emma really wanted to find the golden egg because the prize was a goldfish. She felt so lucky when she heard that during her nap the Easter Bunny made a special stop at our house and left a golden egg and a few other eggs filled with coins to go buy her very own fish. She was thrilled! It was nice to see some smiles on their faces after such a rough few days.
Emma's school had a little Easter Party. The parents are usually anticipating some sweet children's songs about the on-going holiday, but today we were surprised with something different. The kids did relay races, egg balancing and sack-hopping! It was so fun to watch!
My parents came to visit Easter weekend... what a fun time we had celebrating Emma's birthday a little early, and celebrating Easter.
We've been looking forward to the Ridglea Easter Egg Hunt all spring, and although it was quite windy, the kids had a fun time! How could they not with an egg hunt, a bounce house, face painting, cookie decorating (and eating), pony rides, and a petting zoo?!
After the egg hunt, we wasted no time moving on to another special event, Maddon's 4th Birthday party at a TCU baseball game! Nonna and Jules went home to take a little nap while the rest of us headed out to enjoy the party.
Happy Birthday Sweet Emma!
The anticipation is over! Emma has been counting the days to her birthday party at Young Chefs. Most of you know her fascination with cooking, so it was the perfect place to celebrate with her friends. The kids made their own pizzas from scratch and then while they waited for them to cook they decorated, and ate, cupcakes! Happy Birthday little squirt!
On a last note, Emma and I went over to Young Chefs on Sunday afternoon for a little charity event. They were raising money and baking cookies for the people in Alabama who've suffered through huge storms. Emma has the biggest heart, so it was no surprise that she wanted to go in and lend a hand and bake some cookies for people who could use a smile.
