Mother's Day Tea

Laurel's preschool held a Mother's Day tea this past week.  It was so very sweet seeing our babies performing songs about their moms!  And, the video montage of pictures of our kids as babies and as big preschoolers set to sentimental music makes every momma cry!

An Awesome Party

Erika had an awesome Lego Movie themed birthday party this year.  She invited 5 friends to come over right after school for an afternoon of games, cake, and celebration!  We were blessed with no rain for the day, which allowed the kids to be outside for most of the party.  I was not prepared with how loud and crazy six 7-year-old were going to be!!  I am still super tired today after the party.  But Erika had a great time and loves having friends to her house, so it was totally worth it!
 
Erika's awesome cake

We had some snacks right as they came over since they just got dismissed from school.

And then headed outside for play time on the play set

We played a game where the kids had balloons tied to their ankles and you tried to pop other people balloons without getting your balloon popped! 

The balloon game was super fun!

We also tried to drop big Lego blocks into a small mason jar.  This was a challenge for everyone!

Erika and her party guests!

And lots of fun new presents


It was a happy birthday to this sweet girl!
