Happy Easter!

We had a fun and eventful Easter this year.  We took Kyia to do an Easter egg hunt at the zoo.  There were a ton of people there so we were coaching Kyia before the hunt started to get as many eggs as she could and to do it fast.  The more eggs she got, the more candy she would get.  When they said go, Mike took her to all the eggs and she froze with all the people.  She finally started picking up eggs but by this time they were almost all gone.  Mike was encouraging her to go faster and it wasn't until the egg hunt was done that we realized there was no candy or anything in any of the eggs.  It didn't matter if you picked up one egg or 50 eggs, everyone got the same goody bag at the end.  Once Kyia got the hang of it, she did have fun and was excited with how many eggs she got at the end.

        

After the Zoo, we went home to dye Easter eggs.  We had a kit to make glitter eggs this year and Kyia loved shaking the egg in the glitter.  

   

   

Sunday morning she woke up and had to find her Easter basket and eggs that the Easter bunny hid.  She was so excited about this but was most excited about all the candy he gave her.  Overall, we had a fun weekend.

The other day Kyia came in to me asking where her bows were.  I gave them too her and then noticed after a little while that she was being really quiet so I went in to see what she was doing.  This is what I found

.

She had her bows, comb, blow dryer and make-up all out and ready for her to get ready for the day.  She's growing  up too fast!

The Happiest Place on Earth!

For Mike's spring break, we went down to Orlando for a week and spent our time at Disney World.  We had so much fun!! Kelly's family had a little reunion there so it was nice to see family and relatives we haven't seen in a couple years.  We went to all the Disney Parks plus Sea World and Universal Studios.  It was a very busy week with a lot of walking.  Kyia was a trooper.  She had late nights compared to what she is used to and usually wouldn't take a nap while we were out walking around.  There was just too much to see, she didn't want to miss a thing. If we took her on a darker ride or one that wasn't interesting to her, she was usually out in a couple minutes.   We were a little nervous on how Kyia would handle meeting the characters but she loved them! She had to give each of them a hug and kiss before she left and went up to everyone she saw.  Her favorite park was of course Magic Kingdom but there was something at all of the parks that we could all enjoy.  We took her too a Princess lunch inside Cinderella's Castle which was really fun.  Mike also had the opportunity to go scuba diving in the big aquarium at Epcot with some sharks.  He hasn't been able to go scuba diving for awhile he was really excited for this.  We loved being in the warm weather and weren't ready to come home but we had to come back to reality.  Thank you so much for the fun trip and great memories Mom and Dad! We can't thank you enough.
