Happy 15 Months Kinzie!

Dear Kinzie,

Just a note to check in and let you know we were thinking of you today.  We went Easter Egg hunting today with Emma and couldn't help but remember last year.  We had just recently gotten out of the hospital with you and couldn't take you out due to RSV season.  So, your Daddy took your big sister to the Egg Hunt and I stayed at home with you!  We had lots of fun with pictures including the one of you in the Easter basket.  My little Easter bunny!  We made you a cute Easter sign to hang on your fence in your Garden.  We sure miss ya and wish you could check in too but we know you're busy, working hard, and watching over us. 

With love,
Mom, Dad, and Emma

P.S. Emma talks about you often and currently tells us that she has a little sister already so now she needs a little brother.

Emma's Birthday Party - Turning 3!

 We threw Emma a Princess party.  Her birthday is February 29th but we had it March 5th this year. She invited three friends and they all dressed up as little Princesses.  Emma called them Tinker Bell, Snow White, and Ballerina Princess.  Emma called herself Birthday Princess.  We got pizza for the girls and I made my first "cupcake cake."  It's supposed to be a Princess crown! 
 It was so cute to see all the little princesses eating together.  I made them each a princess hat but Emma wore hers the whole time!





 We told her friends to not bring presents because she was getting plenty from family.  She talked nonstop and daily about this green chair that her Papa David and Granny got her!  She also got some more pony's and books and coloring activities.  Oh, and of course a doll with hair to sit in the chair! 


 Who knew that little girls could sit for so long working so intently! 


Not sure who had more fun on this, the girls or Cale!


We have to have a pinata!  Emma loves them.  They all took turns with some pretty good whacks but in the end Cale beat it open for them and they went.....CRAZY!  We laughed so hard watching them zone in on candy.  Olivia (in green) has older brothers and was definitely the fastest!
