Easter Egg Hunt 2011

We enjoyed the annual neighborhood egg hunt over the weekend. Makena has been learning at home how to pick up eggs and put them in a basket. I've been preping her for Easter morning and her 1st real hunt. Another fun Easter note - when we talk about bunnies Makena responds "hop hop hop".

Not interested in the Easter bunny...but we didn't get tears, so I guess we did okay.

Jolie's birthday

Here's Jolie, the 4 year old birthday girl!

Makena wanted to sit in the birthday girl's special chair...and she loved every minute of it!

She doesn't skip a beat...fits right in with the big girls

And finally, she went down the slide backwards on her tummy by herself. She loved it and had the biggest smile on her face.

Backyard pics

We randomly take Makena in the backyard to capture some pictures. Most of the time, she's not interested and I chase her around with the camera. On this day, she actually sat on the rock and was interested in the roses. And...she's growing up too fast too!

What a sweet little girl. So pretty!

Bounce House and Friends

We had the Friday Night Dinner group over for burgers and hot dogs. The weather was just perfect and the kids played until dark. It was the perfect evening. Friends, food and fun. The investment in the bounce house was so worth it and they all enjoyed it so much. Makena even got in the middle of the big kids and loved the jumping and being silly.

Keely's birthday party

We've been busy with birthday parties and more. Here we are at Keely's 2nd bday party. Makena found the baby stroller and fell in love. She pushed it around everywhere and then sat in it herself. She now owns her own baby stroller and still pushes it around everyday toting her baby doll.

Makena and the birthday girl, Keely.

And she loves the jump/bounce house.
