Happy Easter!

Happy Easter!  I am so blessed to be able to spend my Easter with my fantastic family.  I hope your Easter was blessed, too!  As always...here's some pictures to take you through our day.  Jonas spent the morning with his dad.  When he came home around 2, he informed me that he went to a BIG church, and got a cute stuffed froggy from the Easter bunny.  He was thrilled to find out that the Easter bunny came to our apartment, too!

He found his basket in less than a minute - the Easter bunny really needs to find some better hiding spots :-)

After finding the basket, we headed to our Uncle Tom's and Aunt Karen's house for dinner.  Jonas had a blast playing with all his cousins - Bethany, Rebekah, Abby, Ben, Jack, Charlie, and Hayden!  Yup, it was crazy.

The Last Christmas Party

Monday afternoon we had a party at Grandma's to see all of our extended family.  Jonas was loving getting to spend some time with his cousin Ben!

Jonas is Home!

Jonas got home yesterday afternoon from a fun vacation with Daddy at Black Lake. Hopefully, I'll have some pictures to share with you soon. Until then, here's what we did yesterday.

Our Aunt Mary Jean and Uncle Jim are up visiting from Florida, so we visited with them and our cousin Ben at Grandma and Papa's house.

After that, we went to the Eastern Hills Mall for the Barbecue Bash. Unfortunately, when we got there, the food was gone. So, Jonas had some fun in the "Kids Zone", and then we ate in the mall's food court.

Christmas Eve

On Christmas Eve, we went to Uncle Tom's and Aunt Karen's. Jonas got to play with Ben (finally!), and they had a great time exchanging presents and playing with Ben's remote control motorcycle. It was a great time spent with family!

Happy Birthday Jonas!

For Jonas' 4th birthday, we had a toy story themed party. His cousins Bethany, Rebekah, Abby, Ben, and Joey were all there. We turned mom's dining room into "Pizza Planet" - complete with games and activities. We had lots of yummy food, all toy story related. The kids' favorite was "Hamm in a blanket" (pigs in a blanket). They thought it was hysterical that they were eating Hamm! Jonas got some really fun presents, and everyone had a great time!
