Pleasant Valley's Easter Picnic

Our church, Pleasant Valley, hosted a big Easter picnic at Burns park one evening and we had a blast.  They served dinner and had a ton of different activities for the kids and families to enjoy.  It had been cold and rainy the week before but that evening was perfect.

Eden got her turn riding a horse.  She LOVES horses!

They even had a petting farm.

 Harper really enjoyed her first Easter egg hunt.  She was busy and looking everywhere for eggs.  

 I loved the way she carried her Easter basket.  She is so stinkin cute!!!!

 They are serious!  Run girls, RUN=)

 Harper already knows how to search for the good stuff;)

 Eden got a butterfly painted on her face.

They even had a cookie decorating station.  She decorated and then ate up her cookie.  

Wye Mountain 2013

The last several years I have taken the girls to Wye Mountain to see the flowers and try to get pictures.  Every year I wonder why I go.....it is SO STRESSFUL!!!!  I put so much pressure on myself to get a good picture and that is just not going to happen with a toddler who NEVER stops moving;)  Michael even came this year and it was just crazy, oh well.  I always enjoy the flowers and how beautiful the fields are.  They really are gorgeous!!

 This is how Eden got Harper to be still, ha. 

Spring Soccer 2013

 Eden is playing spring soccer again but this year she is playing with the Bryant Soccer Club.  She loves soccer and really enjoys everything about it.  She is always asking if she has soccer practice or a game each day.  Michael is her coach again this year and she LOVES that;)  She has a great time off and on the field with her teammates and is always trying her very best.

Harper Photos

 I tried having a little photo shoot with Harper one morning but she wasn't really having it.  Just like all toddlers, she wanted to stay on the move and wouldn't sit still even for a second.  Here is what I got:

Eden's Impromptu Party

 The week after our Disney trip was kind of busy and crazy but on Thursday night we celebrated Eden's birthday a little more since we drove all day on her real birthday.  She got to open a few gifts and had a special cake she had been asking for.

 Eden tearing into her first gift. 

 She got a little Barbie castle.

 Opening her gift from Aunt Zizi.

 Can you tell she LOVED it?  She had been wanting a tennis racquet since playing tennis with Lindsay a couple of times when she visited.  She was thrilled!!!

 She even got a bunch of balls from her too!

 Eden opening her fairy wings that Harper got her.  Don't you love Harper's face on the right? Ha.

 Eden had asked prior to her birthday to have a Tinkerbell cake.  She was surprised when she opened her eyes.

 Modeling her new wings and wand.  She wouldn't take them off;)

I think she had a pretty good 5th birthday!!
