more catch up!

Okay, we've got Max & Lila's 4th and 6th Birthdays (!), Easter and some random March activity.  Wow, I'm makin' up for lost time here.

 opening gifts from b&z.

 I love this picture.  It's me laughing at the fact that Matt told me so:  we'd be roasting all the hot dogs for the kids.  And there we are.

 Happy 6th Lila D!

 Gramps.

 Lila's requested enchiladas verde.

 Showing Jeannie her new unicorn castle playmobile.

 Lila got her own camera!  She was SO excited.

 treasure hunt!

 Paul's/Grampa's Birthday

 tie-dying eggs with Pippa

 Easter desserts!  Lemon bundt  cake and carrot cake 'robins nest' cupcakes.

 Easter at Howard & Judy's.  Paul had set up an egg hunt for the kids with enough coins to fill their banks!  They tallied it all up right then and there.  I kind of (well, really)dropped the ball as far a the Easter Bunny goes and Judy unknowingly saved the day (mine and theirs) by setting up a treasure hunt from the Easter Bunny complete with clues that ended at a full basket for each of them - they were over the moon with all of it and had such fun! 

 Lila would disappear for a snack or something and then kept coming back and perching herself here b/t Howard and Paul.

Dad in his best hiding place ever - scared the crap out of the kids!

 Ali and the boys came to visit and celebrate birthdays...

 ice cream cones!

 Why is it weird or unusual that Max drives motorcycles on my face while I'm having a conversation with someone?  It's not.  Not at all.

 insert song *car wash* here.

 Our dear neighbors Sarah & Brad, two of the kids favorite people got married on Galbraith Mountain in March.  Reception below, Lila decorated the 'prayer flags' above them.

 After the whole thing, fun hike through the woods, reception complete with taco truck, cake, croquet and a playful puppy, Max told me his favorite thing about the wedding was watching "Bwad & Sawah" come through the woods and down the isle.
