Easter

As usual my kids were so excited for Easter.  They LOVE all holidays, and all the prep, activities, baking,etc. They are game for anything when it has to do with a holiday.

This year we did our usual Easter egg hunt, this time while Seth was away.  Wasn't quite the same but the kids still had fun.  We also made many crafts and yummy treats for Easter Sunday. 

Church on Easter was very impressive also.  St Odilia did a remarkable job with music, including horns of all sorts.  The kids and I brought up the gifts and the Fr. James even sang his homily.  It was very impressive.  If you are Catholic there is no way you would disagree with me on this being the best Easter service you have ever been too.

Here are some pictures from our Easter season.

Addy turned Three!!

It doesn't seem possible but it is true that Addy turned three.  She remains a little spit fire, big attitude and is hilarious to say the least.  I have been told this maybe some genes from her mother shining through.  Not sure how I feel about that at the moment, but none the less she remains AMAZING!!

We had a princess party for Addy.  She LOVED it!  A big thank you to all who came and helped to make her day so special.  She will forever be our little princess!!!

Circus!

We took the kids to the circus this past weekend.  It was a blast!  I highly recommend this event for families with kids around the same age or older.  It was something that Seth and I also enjoyed seeing.  The stunts and animal tricks were both great.  I would not take younger kids, it is long and loud!!!

Our kids LOVED it.  Here are some pictures of the circus and our fun activities we did before hand in preparation. 

roll a clown game.  This is an awesome way to help kids learn how to draw.  My kids love rolling dice.
