Playing catch-up

In all the craziness of life the last couple of months, I realized that I neglected to post about a couple things. 

KAYLA'S BIRTHDAY

Kayla turned 4 at the beginning of March.  With a baby less than a month old I wasn't in the mood to put together a big, elaborate party.  Luckily Kayla was very accommodating and easy to please, so we had her party at McDonald's.

The only thing I didn't like about having a party there is the fact that they wouldn't let us bring in our own cake.  They said they would provide one of their own for us, but we decided to spring for ice cream cones instead, and the kids didn't seem to mind.  After the party was done we went home and enjoyed the cake with just our family.

EASTER

Again our celebration this year was pretty simple.  Bill was awesome and took over most of the planning and executing of activities.  On Saturday Will and Kayla went outside for a quick Easter egg hunt in our "backyard" (a large square of grass between our building and another building).  The weather has been unusually cold the last month or so, so they were searching for eggs in snow that hadn't completely melted yet.

 Apparently Sarah was not amused by the festivities.  

Easter morning dawned bright and early with church at 9:00, but not before we took the time to take some pictures of the kids in their Easter clothes.

And after church we invited Bobby and Susan and their family over for dinner.  We made some cute cupcakes for dessert and Kayla wanted to help decorate (and eat).

And just because I love showing off how adorable my kids are, here are a couple of pictures of Sarah
