My Birthday

 Happy Birthday to me!

 

OK I admit that I don't really like my own birthday, 

although I do love spoiling other people on theirs!  

 

I usually ask for something awesome 

like a nap or a nice walk for my birthday. 

(or for someone to come do my dishes!)

 

Ms. E tried to make me a cake.

She had really big plans.

 

 

Look out here I come to blow out candles.

 

We went for a family walk that afternoon and then 

let the kids binge some technology.

Later on that week we had more cake delivered as a surprise!  

It was so beautiful and yummy!

And shortly after that my birthday books came.

I was one happy lady!

Easter Week!

This year since the kids were home leading up 

to Easter I tried a new tradition.  

Each day leading up to Easter we would sit 

at the table and read about a person who was 

involved in the Easter story.

 We Followed a list from Emily Belle Freeman.

We also learned about what was happening 

to the savior on that day leading up to 

the crucifixion.  

In the end it was a little long some days

and next year I think I'll do an either or,

but not both.

Shane and Ms. A helped me by creating an Easter Tree.

We thought it was super appropriate for our family.

It was actually boughs from our Christmas tree.

(yes it was still sitting in our back yard in the snow.)

Ms. A was excited to use a new pocket knife that 

Shane had given her.  

Glad he's coaching her how not to stab herself.

A couple days later we wrote our testimonies 

and put them inside plastic eggs.

 

The kids loved this activity and definitely 

want to do it every year!!

Towards the end of the week we Dyed Easter Eggs.

Ms. E loves the Tye Dye method!

 

Such a crabby tween!

 Happy Easter!!

Such Fun Creations.

 

 Later that day we enjoyed the actual Easter Egg Hunt!

And everyone got spoiled with new books!

 Sometimes these kids are super Spoiled!!
