Weekend Fun

This weekend we had another party for Chesney; yes number 4.  Good thing everyone is healthy and the partying is over because I am partied out! Chesney was so excited that Allie was finally able to come over.  She had to change her clothes into an outfit that matched Allie.
Ryan decided he would rake up the leaves that fell from our Oak tree over the winter. And then he decided to jump in them. Thanks for the clean up Buddy.
 
 Brecken was just happy to be outside running free.
 Of course there were cupcakes (thanks Grandma).
 
 
 On Sunday we spent more time outside and gave the car a spring cleaning.  The kids wanted to help out, and I wasn't turning down help.  Chesney helped make the inside shiny.
 Brecken vacuumed the mats.  Actually, he wouldn't let me turn the garage vacuum off.  Anytime I turned it off, he ran over to it and stood pointing at it yelling until I turned it back on.  Then he would go back to whatever he was playing with.
 After cleaning we took our first trip to Cone Zone for an ice cream treat. So excited to have warm weather again. Lots of bike rides and park playing for us!

Chesney's Birthday Party

Chesney has had multiple birthday parties due to a few cousins being sick.  But she is more than happy to have had 3 parties now. Princesses can't have too many parties you know.
 
 
 
 The menu consisted of Anna's Chili, Hans Hors d'oeuvres (cheese & snowflake crackers), Sven's Fruity (strawberries), Kristoff's Ice Cubes (blue Jello Jigglers) and Ella's Snow Cap Punch).
 
 
 The kids burned a little energy after lunch by having a parade through the house.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Then it was time for presents.  Emma helped with the opening.  We had to take a short break because Chesney wanted to read all the books Jon, Tanya and Emma got for her.
 
 
 
 
 Meanwhile, Brecken attacked Grandpa while he took pictures.
 Chesney's last gift was an Elsa dress.  Now she has both the Anna and Elsa dresses.  It will be a tough choice on which dress to wear each day.
 
 Thanks for coming down Jon, Tanya and Emma.
 
 And we finished off with some cake.
 
 
 
 
 As a special treat, we had Frozen cookies made by a local lady.  They turned out amazing and tasted even better.
 
 
 
I think our little girl had a great birthday party times 3.  Maybe next year we can get away with one party.  Happy 4th birthday Chesney!
