Some more Easter fun!!!!

Michael, Mikayla and I went down to cousins Jason, Whitney and Bryce's house for another Easter celebration. We had such a nice time!!!!

Here was a little after dinner serenade :)



Time for the fun egg hunt!!! I really am not too sure who has more fun looking for them, the kids or adults :)










What an awesome park in the back yard!!!



Here's Little Bryce - he is soooo cute!!!
A little funny was when we were all just finishing eating dinner and Mikayla pipes up and says "So, did ya'll know Jesus isn't dead anymore?" after a shocked few seconds we all laughed at the bluntess of a 4 year old, a very southern sounding 4 year old that is (at least with that statement). So while that's a very important part of the Easter story, I think we need some more studying on the rest of the lesson!! I think I'll work on a teeny bit of tact in that it might be nicer to say "and Jesus was raised up from the dead"..... out of the mouths of babes.....

The Easter Bunny Came!!!!

Mikayla and I were in the kitchen when all of a sudden the door bell rang....the dogs were barking.... we thought we knew who it might be..... so we went running, sure enough, the Easter bunny brought her basket and left it on the porch for her. He is just so fast though that we missed seeing him.... maybe next year we'll be able to catch him, at least to say thank you! He's sneaky!








oooooohhhhhhhh






She was very happy with her treats and decided that she must have been a very good girl.

Happy Easter!!!!

Happy Easter!!!! What a special time for us to celebrate. Mikayla had a wonderful time, we can't wait for next weekend too, to celebrate again!!! Here we are on our way to chuch.

Can't dress up without twirling, right?





Ta-Dahhhh

Angelic!


Sporting some goofy faces in the car LOL!



I asked for the "eye roll" what was I thinking!!! I knew I'd get one hee hee


Egg hunting!!!! She loved it!!!!












I hope you all had a fantastic Easter too!!!! Have a great week.

Coloring Easter Eggs :)

I just love coloring the eggs, it sure seemed like it used to take longer but we managed to do this in the time while dinner was cooking, it was soooo much fun. :) Mikayla was writing names on each egg or drawing a simple picture on it. Mikayla really seemed to enjoy the tradition too.

Fun times!!!!

We have been having some fun times!!! So incredibly busy (seems to be the most recent theme) but still make time for little miss to have some fun. Here she was fresh out of the shower and by the time I shut the shower door, she "fixed" her hair!! (little stinker)



Now she's all sweet and loving on her Nana, she was giving her a back rub but posed for the picture.

We went to a birthday party and this party showed me just how obvious it is that I need to take camera classes... I couldn't get a non blurry picture except when the subjects were standing still...UGH... I know I have the sport setting but it just was NOT working for me... so these are the only pics I was able to get.






Please don't think of my any less..... here is my child.... *GASP* scrubbing the shower floor..... I fully acknowledge that I am lucky beyond measure but yes... she LOVES to clean, vacuum, windex ANYTHING that isn't moving... and she loves to scrub.... so here is my princess.... up to her elbows in cleanser....just cleaning to her hearts content! (oh and please notice the three strands of beautiful diamond beads she is wearing in order to clean better) (yes she said that).


After her cleaning spree and swim in the bathtub, Cinderella had to come to the ball. She got out my wedding veil and shoes... promptly had to get dressed up and "get married".... She LOVES to be married....






So after cleaning and playing dress up, we were cooking dinner - she spotted the windex bottle and decided she wanted to clean the kitchen floor (again). So she sits on the floor starts spraying and singing the song from Cinderella (sing sweet nightigngale) the original lyrics are:
Oh, sing sweet nightingale
Sing sweet nightingale
High above me
Oh, sing sweet nightingale
Sing sweet nightingale

Mikayla's version:
Clean, sweep, spring in time
Clean, sweep, spring in time
ahh ahh ah ahhhhhhh ahhha aah ahhh
Oh clean, sweep, spring in time.... ohhhh

I LOVE this little girl, she is so much fun!!! I love her dressing up, I love her play acting, I love it all!!! Even the orneries when they come!!!! She is such a joy!
