Easter Egg Hunt

Yesterday we went to an Easter Egg Hunt at This is the Place park. They had it separated into age groups which was a great idea. There were a ton of people, so I didn't know how Hailee would do or if she would just freeze since there were a bunch of kids. We got to the spot that was the 0-3 year old and she was so excited to see all the eggs that we on the ground and wanted to go get them all. They said go and I told her to go get the eggs and she took off and started to collect them. I don't think that the parents should have been able to go, a lot of parents were just grabbing eggs and carrying them to their kids. It was over just as fast as it began. With all the kids that were there, Hailee made it out with 6 or 7 eggs which was fine. They all had candy and toys in them. They then were giving out free popcorn, cotton candy, and ice cream. We were standing in line for the treats and there was a little boy behind us that was crying, the lady asked where they could go if their kids didn't get any eggs, so I explained to Hailee why he was crying and that he didn't get any eggs, so her and my nieces gave the little boy some of their eggs. Such a great teaching experience for Hailee, I had her give him an egg and she was so willing to give another egg to share. I was such a proud parent to see her willingness to share to make someone happy. The whole park was free, so we walked around and looked at the park. Hailee told me that she wanted to see the animals and " it would make me so happy" if she could see them. We had such a great time and even though it was really crowded, it was still fun!!

Long Over Due

Nothing much really happens during the winter, except our hibernation. So there really isn't anything to update. We just stay pretty busy during the week and have some fun on the weekends. President's Day I went with my mom to The Wood Connection, love that place!! I got a couple of projects, these are half done, I just need to finish them, just need to get a few more things to get them done. I will have to update the pics when I have them completed!!

I have a St. Patrick's things to paint that I haven't started. I think that most of my free time during the winter is spent making new decor for my home, which isn't a bad way to spend some time.

It was fun to watch Hailee paint her own wood projects, she made sure that she painted every inch on the block.

Rollerskating

I took Hailee with me to the youth activity. We went rollerskating. Hailee wasn't too sure what exactly that was. We got her skates on and she wanted to do it herself till she stood and saw that she couldn't do it without my help.

We went around the rink one time and that was good enough for me. It was a little hard by myself holding her up and keeping myself from not falling. She really loved it and wanted to go again, so we skated on the carpet, which was a little easier. After a few laps on the carpet we bought some treats. Hailee took her skates off, they were 3 sizes too big, and ran around looking at everything else. After we put on our shoes to get ready to leave, she was worn out and wanted to lay on the seat while we waited for everyone else to get their shoes.

It was a fun experience for her. I would love to take her again, with help holding her up.

Hailee's first movie

I thought about taking Hailee to the movies, but didn't know how she would do. I told her that I was going to take her to see The Princess and the Frog. She was very excited and told everyone that she was going to see it. We started off our morning at Boondocks. Hailee went there to play with her friends in the kiddie kove. It was nice, her and Tristan had the whole play place to themseleves. Afterward we went to my parents house and got ready to go to the movie. Hailee was so excited when we got to the theater. We grab some lunch to take in with us to the movie, and her grandpa bought her candy to eat during the movie. She said that she liked the movie and ate a whole box of candy with the few exceptions of sharing with her aunt or grandparents. It was a fun day!!

Our Christmas

We had a great Christmas. Hailee was so excited when she walked down the stairs and to find that Santa left her presents. She was really excited to see the jump-o-lene. She got some play food that is made of wood and has velcro that holds the pieces together so that she can cut them in half, she loved to show everyone how she could cut the food. My parents gave her a Dora talking backpack, that she was so excited to open and play with. She didn't want anyone to play with it. She was having a hard time sharing her new toys, she loved everything that she got. We got Ruger a gift that had a few stuffed toys and some dog treats. She ripped into the package to get everything out. It was a fun Christmas!
