DAY 4 SPRING BREAK (3/20/08): Easter Prep!

Two holidays and a birthday in one week can be pretty stressful for a celebratin' family. Thank heavens we had plenty of helping hands to decorate BUT mostly CELEBRATE!(Ryland and Uncle Brendon)

Down came the clovers and up went the eggs, and bunnies!
Plastic eggs are a perfect 1 year old toy!Thank heavens for a cool, strong uncle to help decorate the tree at the TOP!

After a watching the new movie BEES and a nap...it was TiMe to Dye THE EGGS!
Think we had enough?

Little Ryland made this face every time grandma helped pull his eggs out of the dye. He was so surprised at the pretty colors you could turn them!
The whole dying bunch!

After a yummy dinner of my infamous meatloaf, mashed potatoes, green veggies, salad and dump cake...

The NON RV sleeping cousins (the younger crowd) went to bed while the others of us headed out to the backyard for a FIRE and some s'more making.

It was a perfect night full of stars and the moon. (below)

That is definitely one thing I enjoy living in a small town, the starry skies! There is no competition from street lights or sounds of cars and traffic. You can just lay on your back and stare up all night.

The whole clan singing some girls camp songs.

Oh, and IF girls camp songs are too much for you, you can always join Dan for some serious games of Sudoku! Ha ha
After we sent the RV cousins to bed--the adults made it a late night of Phase 10, That I WON!
SPRING BREAK is a celebratin' , game playin' , holiday havin' TIME!

The GiRlS!!!

GiRLs Game Night! MaRcH PoKeEno ~3/6/2008I have talked allot about our "girls game nights" in past posts. I thought it was about high time we documented the event. I am addicted...not to the game, BUT to my friends! We are missing a few, but looking at the picture I realize how lucky I am to be surrounded by such good friends. I always come away after being with them feeling happy, loved and listened too. I have so much FUN with them! I am glad we have now started group dates each month, and I get to see them at playgroup when I can make it!
Here we are at the table drinking our water and hoping to win some sweet prizes! (Janae Gordon, Alicia (me), and Amanda Tyler). Don't be 'thrown off' by the face cards-it is NOT a game of chance as we all bring a gift (same price) and walk away with one, it is also just glorified BINGO--So no worries, we are not going apostate! Ok OK,I'm not gonna lie... I also go to win the ultimate prize, and the dinner/dessert!
Better then the gourmet shop... cupcakes for dessert, Life does not get much better than that! I heard a song on the radio today that said...my life is brilliant! IT IS!!!

it was a fun evening, and I came home happy and fulfilled--
