Easter 2014

 

For once, 2 o’clock church was wonderful! We had a long, lazy Easter morning filled with chocolate and jelly beans. I love having the opportunity to celebrate the love of our Savior with my eternal family!

Nathan Turns 5

 

I can’t believe my baby is 5 now and starting Kindergarten soon. Where does the time go?

Nathan started his special day with a special birthday breakfast, then we headed to playgroup for the morning.

I think Nathan felt very special and very loved on his birthday this year. He got a special visit from his wonderful primary teacher that afternoon and got to bring treats and wear a birthday crown in preschool the day before.

That night, Nana, Papa, and Leslie came over for dinner, cake, and presents.

Can you guess which movies we’ve watched almost a million times in the last month?  IMG_0863      IMG_0869

   We love our sweet, happy, energetic, smart, determined Nathan, who never stops talking, and never stops moving, and never stops thinking, and never stops making us the luckiest parents in the world!

Nathan’s Ninja Turtle Party

 

To celebrate Nathan’s 5th birthday, we invited some friends over for a Ninja Turtle Birthday Party.

All the kids got to choose a ninja mask to wear, then we played pin the pepperoni on the pizza and practiced our throwing star skills.

Of course we had pizza for lunch- it’s a Ninja Turtle’s favorite food! And you can’t forget the green ooze punch!

For months, Nathan’s only birthday party request has been cake pops- not cake, cake pops. I’ve never really made them before but I love him so I gave it a try. I think they turned out cute, but please! never let me do that to myself again!

So many ninjas!
