7 years old!

 Yep!  It happened!  My baby turned 7 years old.  We started the celebration early, while we were all together on Easter at Gammy's.  He got to have some birthday brownies and blow out his 7 candles!
He got a Wii game from the McEwan's- Wreck it Ralph! 

 And a Disney Gift Card and Wreck it Ralph movie from Gammy & Papa!


 Then, Monday morning, April 1st...he had to get up and get ready for school!  But Mommy got up extra early and made his Birthday Breakfast - Pancakes, Bacon and strawberries w/ Orange Juice.
 After school, he got to open his presents from his family.

 Lego City Legos from his brothers...



 Angry Birds Star Wars game from Cali...

 And 6 month Club Penguin Membership from Mom and Dad!


 For his birthday dinner, we went to CEC!
Happy Birthday Brody Bear!  We Love You!  And can't believe you're 7!

Easter 2013 - Part 2

Easter Sunday
 Cali brought up the fact, that we never leave a note for the Easter Bunny like we do for Santa.  So, she had to make one...and I think the Easter Bunny liked it, because there were only wrappers left in the morning!  And he left the kids some great baskets.  All the kids got some new books and a t-shirt w/ some candy.




 Daddy loved his basket too!  He got some candy, a cd, a dvd and a book!
 He also bit the ears off his peep bunnies!  (tradition!)
 I love that Easter always falls on Sunday.  I kind of wished Christmas did too...  It just allows the Spirit to present so much easier.  We had a nice little Easter lesson, before our Easter breakfast and then got ready to go to Church for more Easter (Spiritual) Goodness!!  And here we are all dressed up in our Easter Best:



 Church was awesome!  I got to teach my laurels and we talked all about the resurrection and what it means to us.  
Then it was a quick stop at home to change and grab food and off to 
GAMMY'S HUNT!
Hi Easter Bunny - Bock Bock!
 Look at all these BIG kids!  But still so excited to find their eggs and baskets...

 And they're off!









 Thanks Easter Bunny!

 Dinner was great .... and dessert was delicious!
 We ate ourselves full and played games.  We even celebrated Brody's 7th Birthday during dessert.  It was a wonderful day!

Easter 2013 - Part I

 Our favorite way to start the Easter Weekend, is with the Jones Family Annual Easter Egg Hunt!  I love their yard and Jen puts together such a fun hunt and lunch for everyone.






 And we love picnic-ing in their yard...and other things...

Awww... Family Shot:

It was such a nice day!  We came home and relaxed for a bit.  Jeremy and Gavin helped someone move, Cali and Chloe had a playdate, then we had dinner and went to see:
It was a really cute family movie!  Then it was home, showers and off to bed!  The Easter Bunny would be here soon!
