March and April included family visits, the first year of really getting into St. Patty's day with Hannah (so much fun!), Spring Break, our niece Lilly's first birthday, celebrating both the girl's birthdays, doctor check ups, dentist visits, & a special date night for Hannah, mom and dad. :)

We had no rain during the month of March (kinda crazy!), which meant we enjoyed many beautifully sunny days outside as a family. Made it feel as though summer was just around the corner!

This was the first year we really got into St. Patty's day with Hannah. She was very excited to make her first leprechaun trap and it was so much fun to see her face the following morning when she saw what mischief the leprechaun had gotten in to while she slept. She really thought she was going to catch him because she left sparkly necklaces and chocolate gold coins in his trap...she knew he liked gold and shiny things. :) It was fun to watch her creativity at work.

We enjoyed the end of Josh's and beginning of my Spring Break up in Fortuna celebrating our niece Lilly's first birthday. It was so fun getting together with many of our cousins and watching the little ones play together.

During Spring Break I took the girls to the Nut Tree to meet up with a couple of my girlfriends and their kiddos. We enjoyed the sun, some play time and lunch together.

For Easter weekend this year we started off Saturday morning by attending our first Easter Egg (candy) hunt, put on by the City of Rohnert Park. It was held at the Golf Course. Hannah had a blast and Jordyn enjoyed watching. Following the hunt you could have your picture taken with the Easter bunny. Hannah made it to the front of the line with her sis, but then ran crying to me as soon as I left her and Jordyn with the bunny. Jordyn on the other Hannah was all smiles and wanted to touch the bunny's face. No fear at all (one of the big differences we already notice between these two).

Easter Sunday we had Grandma, Papa and Josh's brother and family over for Easter brunch and an egg hunt. As usual the kids had a great time!

Josh and I enjoyed a special date night with Hannah (grandma came over to stay with Jordyn). We let her pick what she wanted for dinner (Five Guys burger...yum!!!) and then we took her to see Beauty and the Beast. She was in heaven! It was the best thing watching her face as she watched the show. She was thrilled to meet the cast afterwards and get her crown signed. It was such a fun night! Josh and I look forward to more one on one dates with each of the girls over the summer. |
