Easter ParTAY's

What a fun week we have had! Alex got back from his weekend trip on Tuesday morning and we were SO excited to see him! He enjoyed a little break from reality and reliving his college days but now hes glad to be back with Addison and I and in the swing of things again.
Addison has had 3 straight days of playdates and has loved every minute of it! Thursday we had our first of two Easter dates and it was a blast. All the kids were dressed in their spring outfits, the weather was gorgeous so we all talked, ate and played outside. The kids dyed Easter eggs and decorated Easter cookies (I had to make more as I ate the first three we made haha. The moms were actually the most interested in the decorating and got pretty competitive with their designs ;) Some people are just so darn artistic!
Today we had an Egg hunt at a neighborhood park and it was one of the cutest stinkin things I've ever seen! We had a great turnout, about 20 mamas and kiddos (all about Addison's age) and everyone brought their Easter basket for the hunt! Me and another mom "hid" 150 eggs in the grassy field at the park and then let the kids at it. Most of them did REALLY well, I was so surprised! Addison had her basket on one arm and was picking up eggs left and right with the other. Unfortunately she then started taking the eggs out of her basket and putting them back in the grass! She'll learn soon enough that the eggs are filled with the good stuff!
I love this time of year. The weather is perfect and thoughts of spring and summer fun with friends is exciting. Bring on the 90 degree weather! We are ready!

Jumping in the bounce house with her friends...peekaboo mommy!

Addison and I "decorating" cookies


Our cookies...pretty pathetic but we just ate them anyways ;)

Addison was obsessed with this dancing and singing dinosaur...It sang apple bottom jeans lol!

  1. I love the one of her with the giant Starbucks cup! Someone woke up in a cranky mood when I tried to get him up early, so we had to skip the hunt. Boo. :(
