EASTER 2011

Our Easter celebrations started with Tammy's Annual Easter Egg Hunt! The weather wasn't the greatest but we were able to have the hunt and feast! It is always fun to chat with other families. Some families we only see at the annual hunt due to different pick-up times. This was Cali's LAST Easter hunt at Tammy's. It was bittersweet! With her going to kindergarten next year, she will no longer attend Tammy's. That's for another blog entry! Enjoy the pics!

What a great Easter we had! We started our day waking up to the goodies the Easter bunny had left! After our Easter fun at home we headed church for a FABULOUS service then to Pop and Boca's for an Easter lunch and hunt! After that, off to Grandpa and Grandma's for dinner and a hunt! WOW! We had a FULL day! It is such a blessing that we are able to spend our holidays with both families! We are blessed! The weather turned out beautiful so we were also able to spend time outside! God is good!

THE BIG 5!!!

We just can't believe that Cali is the BIG 5! It just seems like she came home to us as a baby and now she is already 5 years old! Where do the years go? Our little girl is definitely changing in so many ways! She is growing taller yet so petite BUT  has a big mind! Some of Cali's favorite things are dressing up, dancing, singing, hanging out with Bubby, loving Lucy (lamb), arts/crafts, using her imagination, and reading books! She is such a joy to us! She brightens our days and makes us laugh! She is just perfect for us! We even love her little attitude! She is a spicy one! We thank God every day for placing her in our lives!
