Easter Sunday

 Easter was early this year.  With how busy we have been this past month, we almost forgot.  Emma awoke to this lovely display, which she quickly tore into.  She discovered the chocolate first off, and had to have some.

 After her chocolate, it was time to hunt some eggs.  She did fairly well, and only needed help on a few.  She played with the eggs for days before Mommy hid them from her!

 When it was time for Church, Emma put on her new Easter Dress, and we took more photos. Our little girl has recently learned to pose, which is kind of fun for photos.  And she insisted that we needed a photo of Babies and Blanket.

Happy Birthday Army man

 Army Man had one request this year for his Birthday. He wanted to go camping!  It seemed too early, still being March, but Joe and Meredith made it happen for this sweet boy. And we got lucky, the weather was awesome.

So, Glenn, Emma and I drove down for the day.  We were excited to visit them at Fort Stevens and play for the day.  We ended up being the only ones who could make it, so even more happy we made it.

 We gave Army Man his presents, some Lego Games and Emma gave him a Nerf football. He seemed happy with these.  The kids played while we adults visited, and Emma picked little white flowers.  We are all about picking flowers this year.

 After a little while, we headed to the beach to play.  We could not believe how warm it was, and that the kids could play there today.  It was a lovely afternoon, and lots of people were out.  the kids played in the sand and water.  Eventually we had to pull them back in, and had back.  Army man had his celebratory S'Mores as requested, and we headed back home.  Such a fun birthday for our Army Man.

Emma's Family Birthday Party

Today we celebrated Emma's Birthday with my Family.  She was so excited waiting for everyone, that she fell asleep while watching out the window for their arrival.

 I decorated with Hello Kitty as requested.  We were suppose to bake another "Brownie Cake" today, but I just didn't have time.  So we let Emma pick out a cake at the store, and decorate it with the Hello Kitty Sugar art we had found.  She loved doing this herself.

 Emma opened her presents with the family, we had dinner with the requested Hot Dogs (and Mom adding Hamburgers) and had cake.  Just right for a 4 yr old birthday party.  Still hard to believe how quickly she became 4!  My little girl is growing up too quickly.
