Spring Break-Duck

Last week, we went to Aunt Roselyn and Uncle Dennis's "Yellow House" in Duck for Spring Break again.  We had a great time!  The kids really looked forward to going and did not want to leave the Yellow House to go home at the end of the week.  Before we left the forecast said it would be in the 50s all week, but luckily the forecast was wrong!  There were 2 days that it was sunny and only about 50, but the rest of the days it was low to mid 70s and only rained once in the evening.  It was sooo nice to be on vacation.  Vacations are 100% necessary sometimes.  Especially for Spring Break.

 Our first day there was one of the cooler days. We walked into town for an Easter egg hunt throughout the shops.  We've never been there early enough for that, but it was a lot of fun.  the kids were very good about only taking 1-2 eggs at each store like they were supposed to.  The eggs had coupons for the stores, candy, shells, small toys, etc.  It was a really cool event.  

These 2 pictures were on a bad setting when they were taken and got washed out.  I still liked them though. This is the best I could do to salvage them.

The kids liked taking bubble baths with the jets on in the tub.  Only a little squeeze of shower gel made a lot of bubbles.

Anna's birthday party

Anna had her first friend birthday party a few weeks ago.  She wanted to go to a place they went to for girl scouts in the fall.  It is a bakery where the kids make their own pizzas and decorate their own mini cakes.  Anna had a lot of fun!  She has made a a lot of good friends this year.  She invited Luke, Leah and Juliet and some of her friends from class.  Most were girls. She only invited one boy besides Luke.  

Happy Birthday to Anna!

Anna is 6!  This was her first year not having a big family party.  She just had a small gathering for grandparents and cousins on her birthday and will be having a party with her friends next week.  The kids had a snow day on her birthday.  We thought she'd be upset but she was okay about it when we told her she would still be able to celebrate at school on Monday.  She's having a great year in kindergarten.  She's made some good friends and seems to really enjoy school.  Right now she is also in ballet, piano and girl scouts.  Her favorite food is still noodles.  

Anna has had a lot of fun as a Girl Scout Daisy this year.  She sold a lot of cookies and gets to go on fun field trips.  Today we took a tour of the Humane Society of Huron Valley for a field trip.  It was cute seeing and learning about the animals.  She's also made some nice friends in her troop.

Tessa gets baptized!

Last weekend Tessa was baptized.  She was very agreeable throughout the process.  She's a very nice easy-going baby.

The proud parents.
