Happy Easter!

We had a lot of fun with Easter this year. Both girls were able to participate and Josie caught on quite quickly. She somehow knew the "eee-eee ehhhhhgs" were filled with candy immediately. We let them have at it on Easter morning - we started our day with peeps, lollipops and chocolate bunnies.

That afternoon we had Nana's side of the family over for Easter dinner. The girls were spoiled again with more Easter baskets and gifts from all of the relatives. Thanks everyone for helping make their Easter even more exciting!



Don't you love our new smile?






Notice Kelsey is shaking each egg before deciding if she gives it to Josie or not. I think she thought she was giving her all empty ones :) It was sweet of her to at least share though!


At least I was able to get one of the girls in their Easter dresses - thankfully Josie doesn't have too strong of opinions on clothes yet. And when she does she tends to like things that are fancy and twirly so this fit the bill!


Kelsey semi-cooperated and put on a dress. That was as close as I could get her to dressing up. That girl has a mind of her own I tell ya! ;)

The Party

Kelsey's birthday party was quite anticipated this year. She asked all of the time when her party was, what the theme was, who was coming, etc. She had decided on butterflies early on for her theme so that's what we went with - even though she tried numerous times to convince me to change (after everything was bought)! I think the funniest thing was Kelsey's actual birthday was about a week before her party so she thought that she was turning 5 at her party since it was the next celebration. Poor thing thought she was going to start Kindergarten soon!

Thanks to everyone who came and spoiled our little girl with wonderful friendship and presents! We're so lucky Kelsey has such wonderful friends in her life!

Mommy's attempt at creative cupcakes - I was quite surprised/happy at how well they actually turned out!


Josie enjoyed them too - at least the chocolate wings :)
