Jillian’s Birthday and Kinder graduation
So first off, I have been really bad about taking pictures, so today’s post is sadly limited.
Jillian’s birthday today was again a Friday 🙂 She was born on a Friday so we look at Friday the 13th as a lucky day! Today at school the Child Development Center, where she spends her mornings before kindergarten, had a cute graduation ceremony. They sang a parody of Dynamite making a clean version substituting graduate for dynamite.
My lucky Friday the 13th treat was that their graduation presentation was during my lunch! It was perfect, I was able to go and watch the presentation then go back to my class. It was super cute and so fortunate that Jillian was in the front row and I found a seat in the front row 🙂 I got some fun pictures! Since I had to leave I missed out on their certificate portion, but one of the other mom’s snapped a picture and sent it along for me.
After school we celebrated Jillian’s birthday with a fun little party at our house. Miss Erna, Jillian’s art teacher, was able to come to our house and lead a mini art lesson for the girls. We had a small group of girls come, many canceled. Which actually worked out because it was the perfect number of girls… EVEN! haha
Cupcakes were simple for her birthday… just cupcakes with frosting…. I know sad… but they were yummy.
Claire’s First Birthday
Claire’s first birthday was so fun to plan 🙂 I decided on a pink lemonade theme. I made a cute little lemonade stand, mainly for my pictures 😉 We had some close friends and family join us… not too big haha but big enough to warrent a Taco Guy! It’s our favorite reason for planning a big party.
Claire seemed to have a good time. This was our first party, I think, that had kids besides my own! It was fun to see our friend’s little guy as well as my cousin’s son! I think the kid ratio will start to grow more now… I hope.
Easter
We had a nice Easter this year. Adrian’s Family came over for breakfast and then the girls had their egg hunt. They were very anxious to find their eggs and were so excited when they were filled with small ponies.
After the egg hunt, Adrian and the girls set up the tent. Adrian and Jillian will be going on a camping trip next weekend, so they wanted to make sure the tent had all of it’s parts. The girls had so much fun playing in the tent!
Later that afternoon we went to our neighbor’s house for a pool party and then Easter Dinner. Claire loved the pool! It was like being in a giant bathtub. Jillian did well in the water, however it wasn’t until Adrian got in the pool that she started to swim again. Olivia is NOT a water baby… she refused to go past the steps and did not want anyone to splash her. Dinner was delicious and we were in good company.
After dinner we went home and the girls enjoyed playing with their Easter baskets and pony prizes.
