Easter Afternoon

By -

After church, we worked on getting some family pictures since we were all dressed up!



I love this picture! Thanks to Nay for taking a good one!

When we came home the kids were excited to open their baskets from Lovie and Pops. Peep lollipops were a big hit and so were the new pjs!

I gave each of the kids new swimsuits and decided to plan a scavenger hunt of sorts to make it more fun! Lovie and Pops had clues and there was an obstacle where they had to unwind a piece of string to get to the clue!
Charlie was so excited and very pleased that he could read the clues!

Livy had fun with the big kids, but was really hoping the prize was a new toy!




Our cookies looked so yummy!

Lunch was pretty simple with ham, asparagus, loaded baked potato casserole, fruit, deviled eggs, and a cake. I also made Bellinis which turned out really well.

I was really pleased with how bright and vibrant this rainbow cake turned out!




 After lunch the kids were ready to hunt eggs!
 A fun time with sweet kiddos! Love their good moods!



 After they found most of the eggs, they decided to hide some for the grownups! They were good hiders!

I think this Easter might have been our best one. It felt fun and relaxed. The kids seemed to enjoy themselves too! I asked them for feedback on any parts that we should change and they said there was nothing.

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
