Spring Fun

We have had so much fun this past month!  As you know, we just happen to LOVE holidays at our house, so here are a few of the highlights from St. Patrick's Day and Easter!

We woke up to find that the leprechauns had left us some breakfast.  
Baylor saw it and said...
"Those pesky leprechauns made our milk green!"  
(Thank you Jake and the Neverland Pirates for teaching my child the word pesky, LOL)
 That afternoon we headed to my parents for their annual St. Patty's day dinner of corned beef and cabbage, everything green imaginable, and a treasure hunt.  It's no mystery where I learned my love for holidays- my Mom makes them sooo fun!  She delivered clothes for the kids the week before with an invitation to the party.  They looked so cute.

This year there were 3 hunts...
one for the little boys and Alexis, one for the big girls, and another for the big boys :)  

Baylor's clues were by color.  He had a ball running to find the next shamrock.

They found lots of fun treasure!



Alexis had this in her bag and the picture perfectly sums up what I'm sure she was thinking :)



Before we knew it, it was already EASTER!
The day before, we went up to Grandma Debi and Grandpa Russ' for the egg hunt in their neighborhood.  Every year Baylor has got the egg hunt thing even more and it was so much fun to watch him this year.

Baylor and Brooklyn were too cute together.  They were running around holding hands and just GIGGLING.  It was priceless.

Baylor really loved the easter bunny this year... NOT!!!
He is NOT a fan of anything "stuffed" so he steered clear of any area that bunny could have been.  We snapped a picture with Alexis because if she's anything like her brother, it might be the only one until she's 10...

After, we headed to the Olsen's to paint/dye eggs.  


Baylor had so much fun, he dyed his clothes and ended up finishing without them :)  At one point we looked over and he had stuck all the covers that you boil onto eggs- onto his body.  love him.



Easter morning came and we happily found what had been left for us.

The kids loved their surprises.  Baylor especially loved his new Mickey Mouse Clubhouse!

Later that day we headed to my parents' for another egg hunt, which seemed like Christmas :)  The kids were definitely well taken care of.


Happy 1st Easter Miss Alexis!

I just love all of the good words they are picking up these days, not! I am so sad I missed the egg hunt but the pics of both Bs look so cute, I will need copies. Oh and that looks like a sweet clubhouse, I think we might need to come play:)

You guys definitely party it up for Holidays!! So fun. By the way - Ava is TERRIFIED of characters. Always has been. We have to navigate carefully around Disneyland or it results in a break down!
