Birthday Party & Easter

Because we live farther away from family, we decided to celebrate the kids birthdays together in Idaho.  It was definitely a busy weekend! We loved getting to celebrate with family.  Here are some quick snapshots of the celebrations.  

Opening presents. These kids got spoiled!!

Ryker's Thomas cake.

Blowing out his "3" candle.  Thank goodness for grammy to help!

Brinly's "CupCake" cake.

She LOVED it!!

She loved smushing it between her fingers and smearing it on the tray.

My messy girl.

Since we were there on Easter weekend, we got to celebrate Easter in Idaho!  We went to Community Park and did the Easter egg hunt.  I loved how they organized it, but DANG! Those parents are nuts! It was like watching Gladiator with blood thirsty parents!  Ryker was in the 3-5 year group and those eggs were picked up in like 2 minutes!  The older kids grabbed like 20 eggs each, and then there was Ryker.  He was just stunned.  When he first saw all the eggs all over he said, "What a mess! Let's clean it up!" :) He did manage to get 3 eggs, and in one of them he scored a golden ticket.  So he got to pick out a big prize.

He was pretty excited about this new bike!

I made Brinly's dress and Ryker's tie...however, because of their wiggly nature, this was about the best picture I got.
Obviously, I am not a photographer! :)

Our Easter Family.  My kiddies look so grown up its scary!

 We enjoyed our time back in Idaho and I'm really glad we could spend some time with our families.  I miss being so close to them!
