Birthday week

Kaitlin loved celebrating her birthday this week! She woke up to SNOW on Monday! We hope this is not a tradition we continue for the next few years!

Good thing we planned ahead and got cupcakes on Saturday!!!

She was very proud of her birthday ribbon!

We had our 4 year old checkup on Tuesday and Kaitlin talked everyone's ear off! I am so so thankful for a great appointment! Kaitlin asked all sorts of questions and it was so funny seeing Kaitlin ask the dr about her day and her office. She is a tall girl at 42 inches and 38 pounds.

Unfortunately Kaitlin danced into her dresser yesterday and she now has an Easter egg bump on her head! She will be extra festive on Sunday! Poor girl! I followed her around all afternoon yesterday asking her to count my fingers and follow the light! She thought I was crazy but she was totally fine!

Good news is that she hasn't slowed down at all and is so excited to celebrate Easter!

Easter Bunny Fun

Saturday we had a fun day out of the house anticipating the snow this week. We went to breakfast and headed to the mall. We had no agenda and no plan. We saw the Easter Bunny sign and Kaitlin was so excited. I had not prepared her for any meeting with any bunny and she has never had a documented picture with the Eater Bunny. I was sure this would be a disaster!

She walked up to him like they were best friends and was a pro. She complimented his “garden” and his beautiful outfit. It was so funny and she requested a chocolate bunny. I am not sure where she got this idea but it was such a fun day.

We also ran into the Wal-Mart Bunny! 2 Bunnies in one day. Kaitlin was thrilled!

Four

Happy Birthday Kaitlin Grace! You are my talkative, personable, wild child.  I am so thankful God blessed us with you 4 years ago! You have had a big year of changes. You moved states and started a new school. You moved from a crib to a big girl bed and there are no more diapers for you! It is amazing how much you have grown up and matured this year!

You love to talk and I am so thankful for your talking!

You are full of energy and live every moment with such excitement!

You love animals and have the sharpest memory. You don’t forget anything. You are sweet, tender hearted, and super bossy. You talk to everyone wherever we go and always complement people! You are like a little person now instead of a baby and you definitely have an opinion about everything!

I am so thankful for you! Happy Birthday sweet girl!

Spring Break

We just got home from a Spring Break week in Knoxville. It was fun filled and action packed. We spent lots of time with our cousins and got quality time with our entire family. We started the trip off with lunch with Aunt Ray at Chuys's. Kaitlin said it was the best day ever.

We ate at Calhoun's and had a wonderful view of the river. Kaitlin loved it and thought she was eating on a boat. She had a great trip and was wonderful the entire trip.

Colin went from a cruiser to a true walker this week. Unfortunately he did minimal sleeping on the trip and had a hard time adjusting away from home.

We went to the zoo, the mall, and spent a day with all 7 cousins. I also got to eat with sweet friends without my kids. It was so fun to get away from the snow and cold of Ohio!

Kaitlin loved spending time with the big girls at the mall. She went in all the "cool stores" like Claire's and Justice and she had fun "shopping"!

Kaitlin is missing her family today but she was happy to be home. We can't wait to go home again very soon.
