Easter Egg Hunting ~ 2014

 

 The Easter Bunny came a day early this year so that both sets of grandparents could be there.  The boys were a little skeptical about that since we have always done it on Easter morning!  They had fun though!  It has been a few years since we have been able to hide eggs outside!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day ~ 2014

Silly Sparkle!

Our silly elf is making trouble!

 

Sparkle the Elf

This is our elf from Santa for the season!  His name is Sparkle!

 

Reindeer Baby!

They are only little for such a short time!  You have to get all the cute pictures you can before they get old enough to protest!

 

I tried to get pictures of all of the boys, but they ALL turned out looking like hilarious outtakes!

 

Sam's First Thanksgiving

Look at that cuteness!  He slept through most of his first Thanksgiving dinner.  We have officially left Alaska and are back in our hometown of San Antonio, Texas.  Sam and his brothers got to spend this Thanksgiving with both sets of grandparents.

 

Halloween ~ 2013

My three ninjas!  We had a rare warm Halloween in Anchorage.  The boys loved it!  They stayed out much longer than they did in the last two years and got way more candy as a result!

 

 Their pumpkins!  Ben's is the far left (from a pattern). Will's is the middle (designed and carved out all on his own).  Eli's on the far right.

Easter 2013!

My boys on Easter!

 

Easter Egg Dying 2013

Always a favorite time of the year!  Every year we go through the eggs so fast and I tell myself that next year I will buy even more.  I think next year I should just buy 3-4 dozen!

 

Valentine's Cards and Box

Ben had to make a box to put his class valentine's in, so we made these adorable monster boxes.  Eli didn't want to be left out so he made one too.  Our valentine's cards for this year were superhero lollipops.  The boys in Ben's class really loved these!

Will made these for his class too.

Of course making superhero valentines means you must wear your superhero cape.

Happy Valentine's Day - 2013

Valentine's Craft and a Snowman

Doing a little Valentine's crafting!  And because it was a fairly warm day, the snow melted enough to stick together for a snowman!  Our snow is typically too dry to stick together for forts or snowmen.
