For Sarah's birthday dinner we went to her favorite restaurant, Cheeseburger in Paradise and she got her favorite meal....no, not a cheeseburger....a grilled cheese! Afterwards we came home and opened presents and had a small ice cream cake. It was the perfect ending to a perfect 5 year old day. Her friend party will be next week at Chuck E. Cheese so I guess we will celebrate until next week!
(I know I'm late on this post but better late than never!)
This year was a very special Mothers Day for me. This was really the first year that Sarah understood what the day was about and she was SO excited! She woke me up around 6:45 that morning and whispered in my ear..."mommy, don't you want to wake up and see the present I have for you?" Just hearing those sweet words come out of her mouth is enough to wake me up at any hour. She proudly told me all about the card she and daddy and Ansley had made for me then handed me a gift bag. Inside was the perfume I had been wanting and when I opened it up, it had a very special message engraved on the outside of the bottle. I will cherish it forever!
Ok so I am finally getting around to posting the last pictures from the Easter weekend. The egg hunt this year was amazing. The weather was perfect and warm and there were plenty of eggs for the girls. Sarah had perfected her hunting skills this year and took the task very seriously. She moved around with stealth precision picking up her eggs very quickly like she was scared she wouldn't get anything. Amazingly we didn't even have to teach Ansley what to do. She just grabbed her basket and took off collecting eggs. It was definitely a great ending to a wonderful weekend!
Things have been so busy lately that we almost forgot to color our eggs. This year Ansley had the job of drawing on the eggs and left the task of dipping them to Sarah. Fortunately for me all she cared about was getting to draw on something other than paper! Another tricky part was getting her not to slam them down on the table (we had a few testers in that department.) Everyone had a lot of fun with this and Sarah loved when Adam showed her how to die the eggs different colors. Now comes the question of how many different ways can I work eggs into our menu this week? 
The finished eggs!
Here are pictures of all the girls in the nightgowns Aunt Nancy made them for Christmas. Kelsey and Hayley forgot to bring theirs but the other four very very excited to all be wearing them together for a slumber party. The nights were rainy and cool so everyone stayed snuggly warm in their flannel gowns. Thanks Aunt Nancy!!
