Cecilia's Golden Birthday

On Easter Sunday we also celebrated Cecilia's golden birthday. I had so much fun planning this party and decorating with photos from a glitter photo shoot that we did in February. The girls had so much fun with glitter in a studio and I just love the pictures. Eric enjoyed the party because we made delicious crock pot pulled pork and chicken so we got to visit with family and not worry about anything.

Cecilia enjoyed playing with her sister and cousin, Payton. They enjoyed getting into the new gifts like kinetic sand, new luggage, stuffed pillows and animals, paint sticks and clothes. Thank you all for your generosity! She also loved the tent that her Mom and Dad got her and Grandpa Ed set up.

The cake was a beauty - an inspiration from Morgan's cousin - and delicious too. We bought it from Cocoa and fig and the cake had vanilla buttercream with chocolate cake and raspberry filling. Grandpa Steve got to enjoy the leftovers as we headed off to Arizona the next day for Eric's work incentive trip.

Thanks again to all those who came. We enjoyed your company!

Easter 2018

Hope everyone had a great Easter! We enjoyed a wonderful Easter Mass with Grandma Brigid and Grandpa Ed. The Easter bunny came while we were at Mass because we were so good. He hid eggs in the basement because it was snowy and cold out. Cecilia didn't get past the first couple of eggs once she found 3 jellybeans in each egg. Maeve found most of them and then opened her basket and Cecilia's basket. The bunny new just what to bring - toothbrushes, hair bows, window cling stickers, and books!

I think hiding and finding eggs is one of their favorite things. We may have to do it again to have some activities indoors to get us through this long winter.

Dying eggs the day before Easter was also fun. We liked the looks of the tie dye eggs but the dye wouldn't come off our hands!! Maeve enjoyed eating the hard boiled eggs but Mom forgot to put them in the fridge so we had to throw them away the next day!
