Easter Egg Hunt

Easter is super early this year, so Easter Egg hunts were in mid March. Lovely time of year, the weather is beautiful. And one week after my advertising launch so I was incredibly unprepared. We missed the Blair family hunt this year, it fell on the same day as Rhi's birthday but had tons of fun at the neighborhood hunt. We have added a lot of kids since the first hunt 3 years ago...

Here are some pictures from this year's hunt...

What are these 3 talking about???

all the little girls we have added since last year

poor cole- teasing him about his size. He is the youngest baby in the hood, but one of the largest. He is 9months!

the circus is in town!

Went to the circus (the real circus this time) with Cian's cousins - Jackson, Carter, Shae and Malia, to celebrate Cian's birthday. So much fun!

Cotton candy with Malia!

last time the elephants will appear

Happy birthday Cian!

How is Cian turning 4??? How did four years go by so fast. How do I make time stop???

This year, Cian wanted a Blaze and the Monster Machine party and he wanted to invite his friends and classmates to a bouncy house. No mess at our house- we are good!

True to form, Cian's birthday is one of the coldest days of the year

All lined up, ready to go bounce!

It's impossible to get 3yr olds to turn around

Seriously, this stink face. When does it go away???

A smile!

Birthday dinner at Benihana's. He loved the show, not the rice!

2016 Blizzard

I got back from Los Angeles in time for the blizzard of 2016. It was pretty amazing to see---

Poor Brian - we have different ideas of being "snow bound". Mine included putting up the new kitchen lights

so pretty!!!

26" of snow - and it's still snowing!

Snow all the way to the porch- all landscaping was covered

To compare- notice how far the ground is from those railings

still snowing on Saturday - trying to make a path so we can go to the neighbors

Brian shoveling the front walkway

trying to keep up with the shoveling - notice the path Brian earlier cleared is covered with inches of snow

I love having an HOA that shovels our driveways!

The refreshment stand for the adults as the kids played

This kid LOVES the snow. Was outside for almost 8 hours!

Reece, Cian and Matty

Think its time to head inside

 Here are a couple of videos of our fun in the snow --

New Years Eve

Had an early New Year's celebration with our neighbors, in their new spacious basement. Cian and Bryce ran laps around all night long. I think we got them to pass out around 10pm. here is to a happy, healthy 2016!!
