Our Evie girl turned 7 in April and had an epic extended birthday - a girls trip followed by Easter celebrations followed by a party at Grammer's followed by her actual birthday!
 |
| I am 7! |
Evie asked to do Frankenmuth again instead of having a party, so I picked her and her buddy up from school and surprised them with a fun night!

| Lunch at Big Boy |
 |
| Happy girl! |
 |
| Still prefers the hot tub! |
 |
| Ride or die |
 |
| Putt putt held their attention for like 10 minutes |
 |
| Tic-Tac-Toe showdown |
 |
| A birthday to remember |
We got home on Friday and quickly realized the boiling 3 dozen eggs for the Easter bunny would be pretty difficult in our laundry room "kitchen," so we headed to the Donoghue's to dye eggs! Grandma to the rescue!
 |
| To dye for |
 |
| Evie's all about quantity, Maggie is about perfection |
On holy Saturday we went to Amy and Rex's to celebrate Easter with the Donoghue side of the family. Lovely to see everyone!

| Maggie loves this little one |
 |
| Aunt Jane got to meet baby Jane! |
 |
| Grandma made a funny bunny birthday cake! |
 |
| Grandbabies! |
We had a lovely Easter with just our little family. The Easter bunny found some clever hiding spots in the new house and we went to church afterward.
On the following Monday, we celebrated Easter at my Mom and Dad's because my brother John was in town for a couple days! It was great to see him and our nieces and nephews! Evie got even more birthday glory and cake! I did a terrible job getting photos though...
 |
| Happy birthday, Evie! |
 |
| So happy |
Evie got to spend the night with me as requested for her birthday, and got donuts in bed for breakfast. Jamie spent a few hours setting up her desk and lighted unicorn gifts while we slept - pretty similar to Maggie's birthday, but that's what she wanted! She got to open some gifts before we hustled off to school. Jamie took her to his drawing class that evening, and she got to do some cool projects along with his students.

| Unhealthy start to the day |

Jamie made a light-up unicorn cutout and painted some
rainbows in her room! |
 |
| She was so excited to have her own desk! |
 |
Arting with the adults - Jamie's students
brought her cake and treats! |
 |
| Conquered her Lego gifts and has been playing with them ever since |
Later in the week was Jamie's birthday! He worked a half day, then spent the afternoon at the ballpark with his dad hoping to see Miggy make his 3,000th hit. It didn't happen, but we were lucky enough to be there to see it the following Saturday with our kiddos instead!
