Happy Easter

Today is my 6th Birthday! But first things first, yesterday was Easter.

What a beautiful day it was! We are all fighting the end of a cold and the sunshine was welcomed!

To celebrate Easter this year, we got ready by painting Easter eggs:

Annabel was very concerned that the Easter Bunny would steal the earrings out of her ears. Luckily, that did not happen (of course not) and now she’s very pleased that he came. She said “I wish the bunny could come to my house again so I could say ‘thank you’”.

She accidentally broke a couple of eggs, so I left a message for the bunny:

It says: “Easter Bunny, two eggs have broke, can you bring us some eggs and some chocolate?”

Here we are hunting for eggs:

It was so warm and pretty yesterday, we decided to spend the morning at the Zoo.

Then we had an egg hunt with the neighbors

To celebrate the coming of spring, the swimsuits made it out! You know you are a true Seattlelite when it’s 63 degrees and we are in bathing suits!

Pajama Jammy Jam

02 Apr

Last Saturday we celebrated my 6th birthday with another dance party! This year the theme was “Pajama Jammy Jam” and my friends all came in the their PJs ready to party.

I’m a lucky kid – I have a bunch of neighbors, friends from my old preschool, my PEPS peeps, and OF COURSE, all my new friends from kindergarten. Apparently, the Jammy Jam was the place to be because we had 30 sixish year olds, 3 preschoolers, 3 tweens (neighbor helpers) and 1 baby! Not to mention a few chaperones to keep the party going.

DJ Daddy was back and in full effect:

Mom, Mamy, Grandma and Viviana wore special pjs:

My mom made us pajamas to wear:

Waiting for the party to start (admire my sign that says “happy birthday ben”

Michael, as usual, is the first to arrive:

We had so many dancers on the dance floor – this is the most dancing we’ve seen yet!

Between sets, we took breaks for crafts and food:

Limbo is always a hit:

As a special present, Aunt Mamy got me an awesome cake:

All my friends signed an album for me:

Thanks everyone for coming – this will be a year I never forget!

Not quite spring

17 Mar

It’s still winter here, especially in the mountains. I had Friday off of school, so mom and I headed east to Steven’s Pass for a day of skiing. There was 13 inches of fresh snow from the night before and 24 inches from the last few days.

There’s definitely a few more weeks of good skiing before the end of the season and I hope to go up again.

By Fridays, I’m usually toast from a busy week, so I needed lost of breaks.

Yup, those are candies in my hot cocoa, mom is fun to ski with.

Her favorite part? Snuggling on the lift:

We did quite a few blue runs, so we went pretty slowly. Here ate my stats from the day (minus the last two runs – which might have been the fastest and longest)
