bday

We had  bday party for lil miss awhile ago. It was our first "invite kids bday party" we have had. She wanted it at a park so we waited a month for warmer weather. Pretty typical: games, crafts, lunch, prizes, balloons, etc... I think a good time was had by all!

 

It's a little blurry but a cute pic of the kids with a little friend we found on a walk.

Easter Eggs

So this year our family won tickets from the White House Easter Egg lottery (woot,woot)

Crafting on the front lawn (lil man fell asleep for the majority of it.)

I want one of those egg holder things, good tool!

Oh, and we got to see The Wanted (ohlala) "I'm glad you came..."
British boy band=hilarious preteen/teen girls

 

posing

We took some charater pictures but I have no idea who this is?? Do you?

I love Bo!

lets go fly a kite

warmer weather is so nice

its good for dancing with grandpa too

sleeping

I have been finding my two sleeping in the oddest of places.
This one just couldn't make it up the stairs.

I could barely open this ones door in the middle of the day. I guess it was really comfortable.

Earlier she got the camera and documented how much she enjoyed snack time.

It was still a bit cold since we had a snow storm on Monday!


Happy Easter

events outside

The other day we spotted some deer very close to our house in the backyard (which is a forest.) Girlie was able to watch them for awhile.

Our late snow fall and I think this maybe our first snowman (or woman.)

5 years old

She LOVED taking rainbow cupcakes into her school for snack!

She asked me when she was going to turn 5 because she still looked 4.

and she has learned to swing all by herself!

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday to a sweet boy who turned 2!!

 

Breaking news: We have our first snow!

"Get together"

Inaugural Ball

 At the last minute (6 hour notice) I was invited to one of the Inaugural Balls. Sure sounds fun!

I was told to wear a regular dress and I'd be fine. I should have known Ball = Gowns. I told myself "you're never going to see these people again, whatever."

And the performer was Lady Gaga. I never would have thought I'd be going to Lady Gaga but I never would have thought I'd be going to a Ball either. She is a good  "live" singer and it was fun to have front row entertainment. She sang one song with Tony Bennet. The President and the Vice President also gave a small Hooray Speech. The President and the First Lady are pretty cute together.
