Easter

We got to visit the Easter party at the city Easter party in the field in front of our house. I finally got Brielle to sit next to the bunny as long as she was next to Liam too.

 

We came home and dyed eggs.

 

We got everything ready for the Easter bunny to come.

 

The next morning the kids found a map that lead to their hidden Easter baskets.

 

 

They were hidden in the playroom. Liam ate that whole chocolate bunny! 

 

We looked for eggs inside.

 

We found these huge eggs hidden on the front porch.

 

Cute family picture!

We looked for eggs outside. Unfortunately it had rained and some of the candy was wet. I don't know why they put the tiny hole at the top of the egg!

 

 

 Next the kids had to follow clues to find the golden eggs! A Finch family tradition. They found them in the back of daddy's truck. They each got $1 in it.

 

Valentine's Day.

We had a cute Valentine's Day. I had the kids pose with the hearts to give to the grandparents.

 

We also had a Valentine's Day party. The kids decorated boxes and exchanged valentines.

 

All week the kids made valentines for the family and we put them in a box. On Valentine's Day we opened the box and passed out the valentines. The kids loved giving and receiving them.

 

I made them a special pink heart shaped breakfast. It was a very loving day.

30th Birthday

 

I had a great 30th birthday this year! We started out by going out to a teppanyaki grill for dinner. The kids really enjoyed watching them cook the food.

 

 

Graham threw me a birthday party. I knew I was having a party, but I didn't know anything about it. It was amazing! He spent so much time and put so much thought into it. I really appreciated it. He created a birthday video for me. He had people who couldn't be there submit videos. I cried throughout the whole video.

 

 

 

On my birthday we had a lot of family and friends over. He had everyone bring me balloons. This is something that I had mentioned to him in the past. I ended up with 76 balloons! We had lots of great food and dessert. I really appreciate everyone who came and contributed to the video. Thank you for making my birthday a special one.

I had a lot of family come from out of town to visit. We went out to lunch to celebrate. My "birthday month" was extra special this year with all of the celebrations. 

And of course I had my annual delicious ice cream cake.
