Happy Easter

This Easter was a little different since the BIL's family went to Colorado to spend time with my SIL's brother that lives in Denver.  So we had an egg hunt with them before they left!

Then on Easter, we had the remaining family over to our house for a yummy meal and ANOTHER egg hunt.  The kids loved that!

Happy 4th Birthday, Evan!

Evan had a super fun bouncy party this year.  I can't believe our little guy is now FOUR!  He is the perfect middle child:  Loves the older sister and irritates her in equal measure.  He protects his younger brother and abuses him in equal measure.  He is growing and changing so much.  He is the constant comedian and my snuggle buddy.  We love you Evan!!!

Merry Christmas!

My elves and their reindeer

Let the decorating begin!

Breakfast with Santa

Can you feel the love?

 There's a long tradition of not liking the Big Guy.

Christmas Eve.... we kept the gift-giving to a minimal, apparently.

Evan slept thru most of it. What kid does that???

Christmas Day.

With the Cousins

Thanksgiving

So Thanksgiving was great, as always.  And the best part?  We got this great picture of all the kids!  Yay!

Happy Birthday, Jamie!

Happy 7th Birthday, Jamie!!!

How on earth did 7 years go by that fast.  Sheeze.  I can't get over how much Jamie has grown.  She is such a little lady.  She is doing EXCELLENT in school.  She tests for the advanced program in the next few weeks.  She has a nice group of friends that I really like and she enjoys hanging out with.  She loves her 1st grade teacher and is enjoying math most of all.  She is reading like a champ and is already at the 2nd grade level.  She is taking Gymnastics for the third year and just started Piano Lessons (which she LOVES!).  She really has an ear for music.  She is also turning into a pretty good drawer.  She loves arts & crafts!

Jamie's Birthday:

The festivities began with Nana spending the night before her birthday party.  Memaw stayed the night of her actual birthday.  She wanted her grandmas to spend the night with her for her birthday so it worked out nicely!

Nana presents!

Gift from Evan.  It was the sweetest.  Evan actually picked out a gift for Jamie and she LOVED IT!!!  It was probably one of her favorite gifts since she sleeps with "Glamour" every night.

The Birthday Party!!!

The party was Frozen themed (of course) and 

she had some of her best school and neighborhood buddies over.

And of course the family!

We had pizza, chicken tenders and cake.

Then the fun began!

She wanted an arcade party.  

First there was Lazer Tag.

Then the Ticket Box

Followed by bumper cars!

Then it was time for some Arcade Action!

 Everyone had a great time!!!!
