January to Easter
We've been gone for a while, but now we're back.
Owen celebrated his 4th birthday with a Toy Story theme. We debated having the party at home or somewhere like Monkey Bizness, but the home won out. We slightly regretted that decision when we had 20 kids and 14 adults in our house, but it was a lot of fun and Owen really enjoyed it! I made Owen's cake. Andy's bed is a smaller cake that I then placed on top of the "floor". It took about three hours to make, but it was worth Owen's smile in the morning.
We then celebrated Owen and Aliya's birthdays together with friends and family. This was slightly smaller and I attempted a two part cake for the kids. Aliya was finally able to have her first cake and she thought it was okay, but then devoured her ice cream!
Aliya celebrated her 2nd birthday with an Iridessa theme. She was Iridessa for Halloween, so we put her in her costume for her party. She enjoyed playing with her friends.
Aliya is starting to smile again for pictures, so we have been able to get a couple of cute ones of her and of course her big brother wanted to be a scary vampire.
We started off Easter by dying Easter eggs and I had the kids use beaters to put their eggs in and it worked very well. The Easter bunny made a stop at our house and the kids enjoyed looking for Easter eggs and then hiding them again. We celebrated Easter at Grandma Diane's and Gene's new house in Colorado. My sister and her family also came over and we had a great time! It was fun to see all of the cousins play together and actually play together!
Our best family picture yet!!!
