Ashley's Birthday & Easter #1

This weekend we made an over night trip to visit some friends for a Birthday party and then spend some time with Tim's family since we'll be traveling for Easter next weekend.

First stop: Ashley's 4th Birthday party. This is Abby's Best Friend so we couldn't miss this celebration! We did learn one new thing.......

Megan likes ribs! She just chewed the meat right off when I helped her, then enjoyed finishing the small part off the bone herself. Who would of known?


Here is our birthday girl Ashley with Abby, it wouldn't be normal if they didn't have some dress up clothes on at some point in the visit.

This may look funny, but it's the hugging/jumping celebration of Ashley blowing out her candles. Abby and Ashley were quite happy about it. Or they are just happy they get to have cake and ice cream now.

All the kids with their cake and ice cream.

Stop 2: Fairview Heights, IL at Tim's grandparents house for our Easter celebration.

We had to wake Megan up from her nap for the indoor Easter egg hunt. She just wasn't that in to it and would have rather sat on mine or Tim's lap to wake up a little more.


Here's the one egg that Megan got. Abby helped even out the egg count otherwise.

Trying to find that last egg......

Abby being cheesy. It's not easy getting a photo of 3 kids 3 and under. Our little nephew Theo is getting so big!


This weekend we'll be heading up to IA for a baby shower and Easter celebration with the Powers family. I'm sure there will be some basketball watching in there as well......
