Easter Time 2014

Our Easter Tradition through pictures.  Easter morning the Easter bunny hides baskets around the house like he used to do for mommy.  We spend the morning hunting and then going through the baskets to see whats inside.

We always have Serbian pancakes with butter, syrup and powerderd sugar on top, which are so yummy.  

 On our way to Grandma's we stopped at the Serbian Cemetery to say hello to your great grandfather.  It's a beautiful cemetery.  

Easter time at Grandmas.  She does a good job at being the easter bunny and makes it so special.  The flowers were all blooming and looked beautiful and you both always have fun looking for all the hidden eggs and special baskets.

The best part...us being together.  

Spring Break Activities

Spring break time means "mommy needs to get creative time."  We had 5 days and I put together something fun each day.  So day ONE was beach day...laying out the blankets, getting some sun and all that was needed was a pail and shovel...well and snacks!  It was a very relaxing day.

Day TWO involved some Easter decoration making. We took shaving creme mixed with paint and layed papers cut out as eggs and tye dyed them. Turned out really cute and you guys had so much fun making them and getting your hands all squishy with the shaving creme.

Day THREE was playdough day.  I thought we have all this playdough, lets get it all out and every tool we have and just make stuff...and you did!  

Day FOUR we played with our games and puzzles we have.  Magnatiles has been a favorite of both of yours for awhile building very creative things.  

Day FIVE was a trip to the tide pools at The Montage in Laguna Beach.  The tide was going out so there was plenty to investigate, climb, lift, seek out and touch.  That day was a favorite of mine.  It was a fun spring break where we didn't have to spend money, pack to go somewhere, used our minds to have fun together and utilize the time with what we have available.  Can't wait for next Spring Break! 

Temple Bat Yahm

Every Friday you sing with the preschool and Mommy, Grandma and Zackary always love listening to you and watching you in your class with with your new friends Justin and Nicholas. 

First Antibiotics

You both endured your first ear infections together unrelated to each other.  Emme was recovering from a cold and Zackary you had the worst allergy attack that lasted for a couple weeks.  The picture above at 3.5 years old was Emme's first antibiotics and Zackary was 5 and mommy was very sad.

Happy St. Patricks Day means green pancakes for dinner

This year we made green pancakes for dinner...using spinach.  You guys couldn't even taste the spinach and it was so much fun eating them all!  This holiday is special for your Dad and me because of us meeting in Ireland.  I hope it will resonate in a special place in your hearts as well each year as you get older.
