Party Time!

This morning we had the chance to enjoy the beautiful Spring weather as we celebrated Jacob's friend Joey's first birthday! Many of Jacob's classmates from Mother's Day Out were present, so it was lots of good fun and a great way to spend the morning.

Joey's parents had rented a bounce house for the party and Jacob just cannot pass up a good bounce house!

I think Jacob enjoyed the birthday gifts just as much as the birthday boy did!

Happy Birthday, Joey! We're so excited we got to celebrate with you!

Exhausted...

Sunday mornings at church really wear Jacob out!!!

A Bouncin' Good Time

Jacob's friend, PJ, came over on Sunday afternoon and brought his bounce house with him! It was an absolutely gorgeous day and Jacob had a fantastic time bouncing all afternoon! When it was time to go, Jacob had to make sure to say, "Bye, bye bounce house.". This may just have to go on our list of backyard must-haves for next year...

Happy Easter

We had a wonderful day celebrating Easter complete with a basket full of goodies, an Easter egg hunt, as well as church and lunch with Mim and Poppa!

The day began early as Jacob awoke to find a special treat the Easter Bunny left him. His basket was filled with books, movies, Legos, and a few other fun surprises.

After exploring the contents of his Easter basket, it was time to find the eggs the Easter Bunny had hidden around the house. They were filled with Jacob's favorites- jelly beans, Skittles, and Starbursts!

Jacob even got to enjoy a few treats before getting ready for church!

Before we headed out the door, it was time for a few Easter pictures...

After church, we headed over to Mim and Poppa's house where Jacob got to hunt for some more Easter eggs! He had such a fun time!

He even received another Easter basket filled with all sorts of goodies like a coloring book, Wiggles movie, fire engine book, toys, and more candy!

We had such a fun time celebrating Easter with our little boy. Holidays are getting so fun and they really bring back so many memories from when we were little!

Happy Easter!!

MDO Easter Party and Egg Hunt

Jacob had such a fun time at Mother's Day Out today! His toddler classroom had a special party complete with juice boxes (a real treat!) and cookies. Afterwards, they went to the playground for an Easter Egg Hunt. Of course, he was preoccupied with the tractor that was parked on the street nearby, but still managed to find several eggs. We have learned that Jacob absolutely loves to search for Easter eggs and especially loves to find the yummy candy inside! His favorites include jellybeans, Skittles, and Starbursts!
