Easter and Birthdays

I know it's been a couple of weeks since Easter but you all will have to indulge me writing about it because I didn't have a blog back then and dang it, I want it to be in my blog!

We spent Easter weekend at Challis Hot Springs, the annual Nelson camping spot. The day before Easter the girls had a great time with their cousins Haddie and Sage and a family friend's son, Collin, coloring eggs and getting ready for the Easter Bunny.

The boys usually spend all day fishing (refer to Jeremiah's big fish picture) but Easter day Jer stayed "inland" and spent the day with the kids and I, hunting for Easter baskets and eggs, and swimming.

Easter Sunday happened to also be Kamrin's 5th birthday, so Kamrin and I decorated her bunny birthday cake together. We had so much fun!

Of course, Kamrin also loved opening her presents. Her favorites were a scooter, the Barbie "Mermaidia" DVD, and the Watch Me Sing (Vol. 2) CD. This is an interactive music CD that the girls and I sing and dance to throughout the house.


6 days later Jillian celebrated her 2nd birthday. Boy, was she cute! She loved being the center of attention and every time she opened a present she would clap her hands, squeal, then throw her arms above her head and shout out "HaaaaaBirdaaaaaaay!"

She loved her umbrella from Granmma Koni, her Talk 'n Play, and her Watch Me Sing (Vol. 1) CD. As you can see from the pictures, I definitely did not go all out on her birthday "cake". Hey, what can I say, 2 cakes in less than a week isn't always easy!


After the cupcakes the girls went outside to eat ice-cream cones on the trampoline. What a fun day!
