Celebration Two: Frozen Party

We had a fun Frozen themed party at the house last Saturday! Jade picked the theme and the menu! We had baked mostaccioli, strawberries, grapes, bananas and french bread!

Jade loved her big Elsa balloon!

Very generous friends and family showed up bearing gifts!

Jade was so excited to have her cousin Cora and Aunty Alison who live in Florida come for the party!

The Fam! :)

Jade ready for everyone to sing Happy Birthday to her!

The girl loves her cake! :)

A very fun celebration with family and friends! Thank you so much to everyone for coming, especially Ali and Coco who flew in from Florida and Uncle Mark who flew in from Georgia! Jade had the perfect day!

Jade Turns Four

Jade was so excited for her birthday this year! We started the day with Dunkin Donuts for breakfast! Jade chose a chocolate sprinkle donut and munchkins!

Then she was pretty excited to rip into her presents! Pure joy!

She got the last Paw Patrol character and vehicle she needed, along with some Frozen themed toys (Ice Palace, Elsa doll and Activity books).

The Rapunzel Styling Tower, sunglasses and pool gear from Aunty Jill and Uncle Jim were a BIG hit! Thank you! :)

The girls had a blast playing with Jade's new toys all day! Then it was off to Chuck E Cheese for dinner and games!

This was just the first celebration, stay tuned for more!

Easter

We had a pretty low key Easter this year! The festivities started on Saturday with a visit to Walgreens to see the Easter Bunny followed by an egg hunt at our church later that afternoon!

With the Bunny!

Jade collecting eggs!

Her hunt was a little more competitive, so she was a little sad about the number of eggs she was able to collect! Luckily, Jemma was a very good sharer of her basket! :)

Real life! Jemma just wanted the chocolate! :)

Her sad face is SO much cuter than most people's happy faces! :)

Our Easter Sunday started with a few Easter Basket goodies and a fun morning church! The girls and I spent some time enjoying the beautiful weather while Nate slept! He joined us for dinner and a mini indoor egg hung for the girls! Their eggs were filled with coins for their piggy banks! :)

Beautiful day with our little fam! :)

Jemma 18 Months

Some way, some how my sweet baby has turned into a big girl! She is so full of personality, shy in unfamiliar situations and an absolute riot in comfortable situations. 

She adores Jade and always wants to do what she is doing. She loves singing, Frozen, Bubble Guppies, coloring, and her soothie and puppy paci. She is very fond of her little people Princess Aurora and the dark pink spoon from the play kitchen and carries them everywhere! We usually have to set these items on her dresser before naps and before bed, and she always wants to grab them after waking up!

You are 32.75 inches tall and weigh 25.6 pounds! You can say A LOT including multiple word phrases and the names of all the Bubble Guppies and characters on Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Your little voice is just the sweetest and I love how you say "K Mama" when I ask you to do something! You are such an amazing little girl and we love you to pieces!

Jemma's First Haircut

Jemma has her 18 month pictures this weekend, so I figured now was as good of a time as any for her first haircut! Her hair in the front was quite a bit longer than her hair in the back and it desperately needed to be evened up!

Intently watching Frozen!

Mommy was nervous!

A little unsure of the stylist! ;)

Sitting still like such a big girl!

Her stylist did this super cute braid!

Nice and even! We both survived. :)

Key Lime Cove

Part of the girl's Christmas gift from Grandma and Grandpa was an overnight stay at Key Lime Cove water park! Our original date had to be rescheduled due to illness, so our fingers were crossed we wouldn't have to reschedule a second time! Luckily everyone remained healthy enough, and we had a great time!

Ready for the pool!

Jemma loved the fountains! 

Jade going down a little slide! She was also very brave and went down one of the big slides with the encouragement of daddy!

Jade took an ice cream break!

Jemma took a nap!

Dinner at the hotel!

Jade!

Ready for a quick trip to the water park before checking out. Jemma woke up with Pink Eye? so she and I sat back at the hotel room!

Before leaving Jade got a balloon Olaf!

Jemma!

Thank you Grandma and Grandpa! We had a blast! :)
