A Little Bit Of Everything

This last week, with Nana in town, we were jam packed with things to do. I didn't have much time to post blogs, so I figured I would just post some pictures of our week all at once. This year was the first year we actually were able to celebrate Easter and it was so much fun since Rilyn is at such a great age for egg decorating and anticipating the Easter Bunny. I have to say, I was pretty impressed how delicate Rilyn was with the eggs and not making a mess. Her eggs turned out very beautiful. With Rilyn's 3rd birthday next week, we celebrated early and took her and her friend Kayla to dinner and to see Disney on Ice. We made some cupcakes together before that evening to have for after dinner. I think Rilyn enjoyed frosting them and sprinkling them more than anything. I know, it probably wasn't the safest thing for me to do, but I let her lick the knife. Here we are at dinner, Red Robin, where she was definitely enjoying all the attention she was getting. The servers came over and sang her a bday song too! By the way, this evening almost turned into a disaster. On the way to the show I pulled out the tickets for the first time and noticed they had been printed with the wrong date on them. I contacted Ticketmaster about the problem and they said since I purchased them online there was nothing they could do. I was so upset that we couldn't get a refund or even credit and just prayed that the show wasn't sold out. Could you imagine how disappointed the two little girls would have been? Thankfully, the show wasn't sold out and the box office at the arena accommodated us with new tickets in exchange for ours. I actually think our new tickets were even better! It turned out to be a great night.


Here we were heading to a bday party for our neighbor and Rilyn was thrilled it was sprinkling a little so that she could wear her rain boots and use the umbrella.

Thanks again Nana for all your help, we had a fun and busy week!

What a great pre-birthday week! Rilyn sounds pretty experienced in the kitchen with all that egg & cupcake decorating. Love the umbrella, rain boots & Emerson's sweet smile.
