Easter 2009

Easter was Great!!!!

Thankfully we all woke up at around 715am (well, not Gia- we had to wake her up and we had to drag the boys out of bed). We got ready-- the girls were so cute in their Easter dresses and cowboy boots. Around 805 we headed to church - thankfully it is across the street and around the corner! Luckily Lexi and Gia were able to stay in the same classroom/playroom. The Sunday school classrooms were closed. Lexi absolutely LOVED being in Gia's classroom- Gia still panicked at the fact that we LEFT her. Thankfully the teacher held her and walked around with her.

After service we went to an Irish Pub for breakfast--- I would have rather gone to Mimi's Cafe but I had a feeling that it would be crowded. The pub was a bit expensive, but they served a lot of food and they were not crowded so if the girls were bad- it was not so embarressing.

The Easter Bunny dropped off baskets and chocolate bunnies while we were at church! The basket had lots of chocolate, goldfish, new pj's, coloring books and some jellybeans!

Before dinner, Jenna and Jeremy hid eggs for the girls and then played outside with them. They had a lot of fun playing w chalk and playing hop scotch. For dinner we cooked a ham-- it was not so delicious. It was from the pig we had butchered and it ended up more like pork chops. The sides were awesome- mashed potatos, sweet potatos, and mac and cheese!

After dinner, I played outside w the girls and let them jump in puddles. Too much fun- for them!

All and all it was a great Easter.

Lexi Turns 4!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lexi turns 4 years old today!!!!!!! She has grown into such a BIG GIRL!!!! Her personality is one of a TRUE 4 yr olds! Cute, funny, sassy, and a bit BAD at times!

Lexi has turned into a smart little puppy. She knows how to spell her name and write her name (first name), she has now started to draw people, name letters and etc... Yesterday I gave her two sheets where she could trace her last name-- later she wrote on a separate piece of paper 'FACI'!!!! She came so close.

We celebrated her birthday party at Build a Bear. It was fantastic! I would definetely do it again. The kids were great- they picked out an animal and an outfit that fit their personality wonderfully.

Today we plan on going to Peter Piper's Pizza up the street w the family to have Lexi's 4th Birthday Dinner. Fun times :-)
