HAPPY EASTER

Do you know how the date of Easter is decided? Well here's a bit of nerd trivia for y'all (I learned one thing at Dixie College): Easter is always the first Sunday after the first full moon after the vernal equinox (first day of Spring--March 20). Check your calendar. There was a full moon on Friday the 21st and that's why Easter was so early this year. I find that very few people are acquainted with that information, and Celeste actually acts embarassed when I tell it. But don't you feel smarter now? : )

We had a great Easter Sunday complete with too much candy, a savory ham and new dresses for the girls. We're very blessed!

Celeste's 9th Birthday

I have to recommend Build-a-Bear for birthday parties. The price is quite reasonable for what you get (save your coupons) and I hardly did a thing! Unless you count making cupcakes as a thing. Oh, wait...my mother-in-law did that while I ran errands without kids. I guess I did do nothing. It was fantastic.

Celeste, of course, hammed it up Tuesday night during her party. And all day Wednesday on her birthday. Thursday morning found her sulking to the bus stop because her birthday was over. But on Friday Grandma checked her out of school and spent 5 hours buying her the whole darn mall. How will we top this next year?

Sitting in a tree...

They're more in love than every and show it by fighting over baby toys.

Allison's 1st Lost Tooth

It wiggled and wiggled for several days, but we finally got it out! She was quite scared that it would hurt.

And amazingly enough the Tooth Fairy actually came. We've had some trouble with her...maybe those complaints actually made a difference.
