Easter 2013

Evie had her fill of Easter parties and Easter egg hunts! At school she learned the Easter story. We reenacted the story when Jesus came into the city riding a donkey and all the people waved palm branches shouting, "Hosanna!" She really liked that part, and she was thrilled when we sang a "Hosanna" song at church. I'm so glad she has started to comprehend the reason why we celebrate Easter. The Easter Bunny, egg hunts, candy, and Easter baskets are fun, but I'm so thankful she is already acknowledging that the holiday celebrates Jesus. As she said when we walked into church on Easter Sunday,

"Mommy, today we are going to have a party for Jesus!"

Spring Cookout

We have had such beautiful weather lately, my friend decided to have a spring cookout complete with dying eggs and an egg hunt for the kids! She had a great idea! Unfortunately, the weather to a turn for the worse, but that didn't stop us! It was pretty chilly and a little rainy, but the kids had a great time.

Spring Break

We spent spring break doing a lot of fun little things like going to the park, planting carrot seeds in our garden, going to the dentist, getting a hair cut, and spending time with friends. It was simple. It was what we needed!

Evie went to the dentist for the first time! She was a champ. The only thing she was afraid of was the hose that sucks the water out of her mouth. Once, the hygienist convinced her to just "kiss" it, Evie didn't mind it at all. She actually enjoyed it! If you ask Evie, the best part was she got to watch a Tinkerbell movie during the visit.

During break, I also had a chance to see our baby in 4-D! She's getting pretty big and is measuring about a week and a half ahead.
