Ethan and Alexa's Birthday Party Carnival

The boys helping put the jumpers away.

All of the kids gathered around the prize table to redeem their tickets for prizes.

We had some fun booths for the kids to play at...fishing booth, disc drop, 3 in a row, bean bag toss, face painting, and popcorn.

Cake time.  Alexa had 2 candles on one side and Ethan had 5 on the other.  Both did well blowing them out.

Prize and treat boxes.

Yummy caramel apples.

Auntie Tutu and Mike ran the cotton candy machine and it was enjoyed by all.

Ethan was dressed as a ring leader/ magician and Alexa was dressed as a trapeze artist.

The Nocella kids.

First T-Ball game

We are officially into T-ball season.  Ethan is playing on the Dodgers and is number 4.  These little ones are sooo cute out on the field. We are looking forward to all of the fun to come this season.

Easter Sunday

We had a wonderful Easter celebrating with our family and Tutu and Mike and grandpa Snyder and Saadia.
We had the traditional dinner of ham and scalloped potatoes with some yummy mini cheesecakes for dessert.  We then had an egg hunt.

Milestones

E. and A.

  

 

This past week not only did Alexa turn 2 but she also climbed out of her crib.  We were so surprised to see her up and around one morning because she is so little and I was hoping she would be in it for a long time.  My little monkey.

We had such a fun time today with you and celebrating your birthday with Ethan, daddy, Grandma Ellison and Nana Snyder.  You are our dream come true and  I couldn't ask for a more special and amazing little girl. Happy Birthday sweet baby!

 Before we started the hunt we had fun gluing popcorn, candy walks, face painting, and easter egg roller derby.

 

We enjoyed the yearly Easter egg hunt at our church today. The kids love it and I love it too because all of the kids are so sweet, cute, and so excited about everything.

Sweet Valentine

Here is our sweet Valentine Alexa.  We had a great day with Ethan's school party, playing at the park, and our double date tonight (Ethan was mommy's date and Alexa was daddy's).  We enjoyed a yummy dinner by candlelight and watched the movie Annie together.  I am so grateful to have such fun and sweet Valentines!
