Easter 2017

Easter came on the weekend after Caroline's birthday. It was nice having Easter later in the year. Mom brought over a ham, fruit and a potato casserole. We enjoyed a nice lunch after church! She stayed the afternoon and visited. The weather was so pretty, so that afternoon we went to Cameron Brown to hit balls and ride bikes. We ended the day with lots of fun. He Is Risen

Happy 9th B'day, Caroline

Caroline's birthday was on a Friday this year! We decided to have her party on her actual day! She had the idea many months ago-make your own cakes and a sleepover! So, the planning began with invitations, decorations and more! I made all the fondant for the individual cakes! I enjoyed myself so much getting all the cakes prepared! So, to start her day, she woke to her favorite muffins with choc. chips. Daddy took the kids to school and I began putting up banners and straightening the house. I had taken the day off for her birthday to enjoy lunch with my girl at school and pick up balloons. Mom brought home Caroline after school, which helped me a ton. Griffin stayed with Grammie and spent the night. Once Caroline was home from school, she and I went to pick up the pizza and her precious cake! The girls arrived at 5:00. We ate pizza and then the girls decorated their cakes. Afterwards, they played in the playroom and I cleaned up. We had cake and ice cream and sang Happy Birthday! Then, the girls painted pillowcases and each signed Caroline's as a memento!  Harper and Laney had to go home at 9:00 because they had plans early the next day! The remaining girls, played school and dress-up with Caroline's clothes till about 10. I had them clean up. Trey and Taylor got home from enjoying wings and watching baseball. I had the girls lay their sleeping bags down in the playroom and started quiet voices. I slept upstairs just in case someone might need me. At 11:00, I went to sleep. The girls did great through the night. we woke at 6:30. I started pancakes for breakfast1 Birthday girl's choice. The girls went home at 9:00. They took home pillowcases, cakes and a goody bag with ponytail holders, gummies, lollipops and more. It was a super FUN party. Caroline's favorite part was decorating her cake! Happy 9th B'day, Caroline! We love you!
