Easter 2018

This was definitely one of the best Easters yet!  Multiple egg hunts and lots of great times with friends and family.

The weekend before Easter, the kids did an egg hunt at the church where they go to VBS...

Then the day before Easter, we went to Easter party/hunt at a friend's house...

Easter morning, the kids hunted again for eggs the bunny hid outside and then found their baskets in the shower!

Then it was off to mass, where the kids were super excited to sit with some of their besties...

After church, it was time for brunch at the golf course!

Valentine's Day

Christmas Eve Morning Brunch

One of our favorite holiday traditions with our god sisters!

Christmas Cookies!

I really did not have time to bake this year so I decided to spend hours and hours baking to add a little more stress to my life. ;)

Those cookies were for our neighbor gifts in theses super cute Meri Meri boxes...

The kids decorated their cookies all by themselves!

We went to a cookie exchange party on the last day of school so we brought LOTS of cookies to exchange!

Favorite Things Party

I've wanted to host a holiday "favorite things" party forever, and I finally did it!  Everyone had to bring 4 gifts that costs $10 or less each.  When they arrived, everyone put their name on 4 pieces of paper and put them in a bowl.  Then each person picks 4 names from the bowl- the 4 names you pick are the 4 people you give your gifts to.  I completely forgot to take any photos during the party, but I least I got a few before it started.

Christmas Lights!

On Saturday, we had our 5th annual dinner and Christmas light outing with the god sisters!  But this year we started with a church holiday-fest, which the kids loved!  They had sledding on real snow, games, crafts, bounce houses and more!

Gary even ran into "Buddy", who was on the shirt he was wearing!

Then we headed to Corner Bakery...where we eat every year!

Then off to look at lights.  This year one of the houses had a projection of Santa and dancing elves and gingerbread men, and the kids were obsessed!!  We were cracking up as they were all trying to do the dance moves!

And of course we put them in Grinch time out every year. ;)

And the last four years...
