Birthdays and Easter and Life - Oh my!

This past weekend was filled to the brim! Saturday morning kicked off the fun with our neighborhood's Spring extraveganza! Our area's clubhouse goes all out for the kids with a huge easter egg hunt, bouncy houses, a visit from the Easter bunny and more. For the 2nd year, we totally enjoyed this event and the kids had a blast! Our "family" the Caudill's joined, and we had a fabulous time!




Straight from the clubhouse, we went back to our house for birthday festivities for Colin. We celebrated his 4th birthday with a jungle themed party because my little monkey is completely into The Jungle Book and going to the Wild Animal Park. We had family and a few friends to enjoy the day and the little ones had a blast getting their face painted. Colin had "kaa" the snake (from The Jungle Book) on his arm, and then once Tyler was painted like a panther, he decided to also have his face painted like a Tiger. Even some of the "big kids" got into it :)





This was the first year Colin TRULY relished in his birthday. Beginning weeks ago, the countdown was on and everyday there were lengthy conversations about every aspect of his birthday... the people he wanted to be there, the theme, the activities, and mostly about the CAKE POPS!! :) For his actual birthday, we hit Chuck E Cheese which makes me truly feel like a parent! :) Between all the festivities, it was a mother's dream to see my boy so happy, and to celebrate his life and the joy he is to the world! Of course the day after, he began discussing his 5th birthday and all the plans he has for it. He's his mother's son... loves to have things to look forward to!!! :)
