Busy week

Last week was a busy one, Cecilia was in her first play and it was great. She was Thing 2 from Dr. Suess stories. She didn't have to talk which is why she loved her part all she had to do was dance and sing and act silly she does that on a daily bases so it was a snap for her. So we spent the first part of the week getting her ready for that then on thursday we celebrated Maggies second birthday. She spent the whole day saying " Happy to me". When she woke up I showed her her birthday cake which was probably a mistake since as soon as I was downstairs she reached up and starting eating whatever she could reach which was icing. Her cake soon had little finger marks. She loved blowing out her candles and getting presents. She has spent the weekend showing everyone her new clothes and playing with her new kitchen set. Its good to be two. Holly has been busy being draged from place to place but she gets her pay backs, she has soccer and piano which means the other two will be draged to her activites for a while. I am going to try and post video and pictures but we will see if i can do it. They video shows her coming out with cotton candy I will see if I can find a better one.

Easter

This year for Easter we traveled down to Nauvoo to spend the week end with my parents. On Friday we left the children with pop pop(which is what Maggie calls grandpa)and grandma so that mike and I could go to the temple. We choose to do sealings this time knowing that our minds would not be able to focus on an endowment session, it was a nice change and of course it helps me to remember my sealing vows to mike. Later that night we took the girls outside to run of some steam Cecilia and Holly were running all over and climbing up and down the front of moms and dads house. Maggie was running right behind them yelling me too me too. Maggie couldn't quit climb the flower beds in the front so the girls helped her up. When the older two were playing in the woods Maggie was determined to climb the flower beds by herself next thing we knew she made it to the top. The flower beds are almost as tall as she is.
Saturday the girls went to Baxter's Winery to color eggs and play games Maggie wasn't able to make it because she was running a fever the rest of the week end turns out she has strep throat again. Cecilia won first place in her age group and Holly won third place in her age for the best colored egg. They each won a bag full of goodies. Well the kids are back in school and the usual crazy night begin again.
