Celebrating Easter

Yesterday wasn't very beautiful outside, but it was absolutely beautiful inside.  We started off our day praising Jesus at church.  Arriving home we did our annual traditions of reading the Easter story with Resurrection Eggs, going on an egg hunt and opening our Easter baskets.  We then enjoyed a delicious Easter meal and continued to praise God throughout our day.  It was a blessed day indeed.  

Happy Easter

"Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day." 1 Corinthians 15:3-5

We hope you take sometime today to give thanks, praise and rejoice in our Lord in Savior, Jesus Christ who died for our sins and rose again so we could be free.

May you al have a blessed Easter full of joy, love and laughter.

Happy Easter

Easter Fun Activities

I just realized I never posted our Easter fun events that occurred last Saturday.  We started off at our church where we did lots of Easter crafts, read the Easter story and ate yummy empty tomb snacks.  After that we headed over to boys' preschool for some Easter games and our annual Easter egg hunt in the ball pit.  Overall, the morning was full of fun, fellowship and family.  

Kallen's Paw Patrol Party

Kallen decided that he wanted his fourth birthday to have a "Paw Patrol" theme.  I was very excited about this because we had a ton of decoration options with all their toys, I was able to find a lot of print outs online and it would be doable for both girls and boy friends.  Kallen chose five of his closest friends he wanted to help him celebrate.  The kids were great and had such a wonderful time.  

The Party: 
While the children were arriving, they could either color a Paw Patrol pup or watch a short episode of Paw Patrol.  Once all the children arrived I handed out personal dog collars for each kid.  They wore them throughout the party to help with the games.  I made each pup's badge that were changeable in order to become that pup to do their task.

Marshall: clumsey marshall forgot his badge on his hat and needed to be put back on.

Rubble: had to pick up rocks (cotton balls) and put them all in Rubble's construction vehicle before the timer went off.

Zuma: had to find the fish (Swedish fish) surrounded by garbage (balls) in the clean water bin

Chase: practiced obeying traffic light rules by playing red light, green light

Skye: dropped personal made pink helicopters off the railing while trying to land on Skye's helicopter dock pad

Rocky: took used toilet paper rolls and reused them to make binoculars

Afterwards, we sang, ate cupcakes and opened presents.  

Kallen Turns 4 Years Old

How can he be four already?!?  Today marks four years since the first time my little buddy was placed in my arms and forever changed my life.   Nothing melts my heart more than having a little "Mama's Boy", which Kallen is to the tee and I pray that never changes.  He continues to be our entertaining, silly, chatty, helpful, intelligent and joyful boy that we love to pieces.

Happy 4th Birthday, Kallen!

We all love you and hope you have a wonderful birthday.
