Easter Sunday

We had a really lovely Easter.
The Easter Bunny came and left lots of treats and prizes. The big one was a care bear themed build a bear and gift card for each kid. There were lokai bracelets, swim goggles, and some clothes, too. Chocolate bunnies were a big wish and he delivered those!

Charlie was excited about a care bear blind bag!

Sarah Graves was pleased with a new outfit!

Flowering the cross at church and I was proud that we had some flowers blooming to bring.


Charlie and Livy looked so sweet waiting for church.

Love these two looking so sweet in their Easter best.

I feel like we won the lottery getting a cute picture of all 3 looking so sweet!

Headed off to hunt eggs after church.

Love my sweet family!

We hit the lottery twice and got a cute picture of all of them with Lovie and Pops!

Nay and Livy so happy!

The kids were pleased with all the prizes that people who love them sent them. There were Easter themed treats and goodies as well as small toys, gift cards, and clothes. 

We had a simple lunch of ham, grits, strawberry and spinach salad, and croissants. The kids were happy and I think the adults enjoyed it too. 


After giving up sweets for Lent, I was excited for the desserts! My favorite was the lemon icebox pie that Aaron made! 

Maw Maw wanted the kids to have lots of treats for Easter, so she sent them this cookie cake and ice cream, and some other treats! They really enjoyed the cookie cake!

 I saw this idea for a fruit pizza decorated like an Easter egg and knew we had to try it. Jeanne' decorated it and it turned out really cute. It was the only thing Charlie would eat during lunch! He said he was only eating sweets on Easter!

I wanted to try this idea for a carrot patch chocolate cake. It was tasty. Apparently Charlie waited as long as he could to eat some and he and Livy ended up digging in on their own!

My favorite part of the day is the part that I didn't take any picture of! We sat outside enjoying the gorgeous weather, eating dessert, and watching the kids play. It was relaxing and so nice to enjoy time together.

Frozen Party Details

Like most girls her age, Sarah Graves LOVES Frozen and has known for quite some time that she wanted a Frozen birthday party. I was so excited when I saw this invitation on Etsy and she loved it too! It reminded me of an infographic. The Frozen theme was a lot of fun! There were so many things to choose from that I took to pinterest and eventually decided on the ideas that I would use for this party. I found this great Arendelle banner here on Pinterest I was so grateful that my sister did a snowflake Christmas and had tons of snowflake ornaments to hang as decorations! This party theme was a lot of fun to plan the food. Kristoff's ice cubes were made from Jell-o with an ombre effect. I found the recipe here on Pinterest. I doubled the recipe to make a 13x9 size pan of it and I made 2 13x9 pans of it. The made plenty of "ice cubes" to fill 35 cups. They turned out really cute! My parents made this Elsa cake and did a fabulous job

Cloth vs. Disposable

By -
We have mostly been planning to do disposable diapers because I felt that cloth would just be too much work when I go back to work.  Then, we saw these diapers called happy heiny's ( www.happyheinys.com ).  These looked much different than what I envisioned cloth diapers to look like.  Mom used cloth diapers with me and Jeanne', so she felt totally up for using them while Sarah Graves is at her house.  I started looking into the cost comparison and depending on what type of cloth diapers you buy, you can save anywhere from $1200 - $1700.  That is pretty attractive, not to mention knowing that you aren't filling up a landfill somewhere.  There are lots of different varieties of cloth diapers out there, but the ones that seem to be a good investment and user friendly are diapers that have snap closures, with a pocket for an insert to absorb the contents, and they are one size that adjusts as your baby grows from a newborn up to 35 pounds.  You can also purchase the traditio
