Parties, Parties, and MORE Parties

Our lives are SO much fun right now!!  The kids LOVE playing with other kids and there are so many kids around here that we are having a BLAST!!  Our life has been filled with PARTIES lately and I love it (so do the kids because they get lots of sweets!!)

I offered my dear friend, Amy some help making her daughter's 6th birthday cake and she took me up on it!!  Instead of helping her though.....she turned it into a PARTY!!!  She baked about 15 little cakes and then cakes for her daughter's cake and showed about 25 women how EASY making cakes was!!  It was a blast and her daughter's cake turned out SUPER CUTE!!!

The birthday girl and her family!!!

This party was after the kids went to bed though and Garrett heard about it and did NOT think it was fair that I was going to a party without Daddy, Haylee and him, so we decided to throw Daddy a "Made-Up Daddy Day" party!!  Garrett wanted to wear his Sunday clothes (we did not get pictures because it was his Easter outfit) and Haylee had to wear a dress!!  They drew Daddy pictures and went and got him a present!!  Daddy was very surprised!!

Here's a RANDOM picture of Haylee dancing!!  Getting ready for Lindsey's wedding!!!  We are going to rock the dance floor!!!

Today I threw a Easter Party Play Date!!! 

We had lots of food and fun activities!!  We made little chicks out of paper, SILK TIE EASTER EGGS, RESURRECTION ROLLS, and did an Easter Egg hunt!!!  What a BLAST!!

The resurrection rolls are a really neat idea to do with kids.  You wrap Jesus (a marshmallow), in a blanket (the roll), put him in the oven tomb, and when they are all done Jesus has resurrected!! 

I also made these BUNNY BROWNIES for all the moms!!  It's a really neat gift idea and you can do it for any holiday!!

As Haylee is getting older, she is discovering she likes Garrett's things too!!!  They have started fighting and I'm NOT a fan!!  There is a lot of screaming at out house right now (we are currently working on that right now....but it's a working process) and a lot of tattle telling!!  I've started making them work things out on their own (AFTER they use their kind words with each other) and look.......

......they DO know how to compromise!!!

Haylee being a little mommy!!
