April 2013

Gryffyn's birthday fell on a Sunday this year, so we celebrated her birthday that following Monday with her classmates during afternoon snack and the following Saturday with more friends. 

Gryffyn's teacher, Ms. Mari, has a tradition where the student makes a crown to wear before their special snack. Daddy got to help make her special crown, and she was ALL smiles! 
 Cinderella, Cinderella, I hear a Cinderella FAN! 
 Special Crown put on by Ms. Mari with three balloons on her chair. 

 We received this note after the afternoon snack party concerning Hannah...I couldn't stop laughing! 

Birthday preparations got underway on Saturday morning...Gryffyn loved making Monster balloons! 

 Treats for friends who came to celebrate with us...



 Our little MONSTER! 
 Started the party with everyone outside for a little Monster Spray (silly string).



 Playroom turned out to be a huge success. 

 And finish out the fun with some homemade ice cream cake. 


 Next day, after some swim time, Hannah wowed Dan on her game playing skills!

We love having PlayMobil so close on those rainy Florida days! 
 Relay season started in March, and Lake Park had their Relay the last weekend in April. Although I have been reassigned to a different location, my friends Kelly and Vicky helped me to lend support to some old friends and committee members. 


 That following Sunday, we visited Build-A-Bear workshop for the first time to spend giftcards from our friends the Scott family gave us for the girls' birthday presents.



 Meet Gigi the white cat, and Beachy the pink bear. 
 Last practice before big dance rehearsal, and Gryffyn's class tried on their costumes...so cute!

March 2013

Beginning of March, Dan was able to take a few days off so we could enjoy Spring Break in Memphis, TN visiting some friends. 
 Hannah and Momma being silly!

 Fyn LOVES some corn! 

 Our friends Holly and Kyle's twins who are a few weeks younger then Hannah.They let us come over for a playdate at their house one day and then joined Kyle for lunch (since he had to work). 




When we returned to warmer weather, we spent all day outside! 


Week before Easter, our MOPS (Mothers Of Preschoolers) group got together to play on the indoors-playground, then had a music parade, and went Easter egg hunting. 





 silly Hannah! 

 Love it when Dearie sends us clothes! Sad that they only fit Hannah and Gryffyn!


Last weekend of March, Aunt B was able to come visit. Here are some pictures of our fun prep for Easter/Gryffyn's birthday...













 Easter Sunday brought the girls lots of surprises...





This picture below is my favorite of Hannah from March. She was excited to find the last Easter Egg, but couldn't get it out of the hiding place. This picture is of her saying "MOMMA!" 
mainly we had a family day since Easter was also Gryffyn's 3rd birthday! 



Happy 3rd! She is getting so big and independent!
