A Hippity Hoppity Easter Party

We went to Lulee's preschool Easter program/art exhibit/Easter egg hunt/party the other day and had a really good time.  Each child was to bring 13 eggs filled with goodies, ours was filled with jelly beans.  We had also signed up to bring cupcakes.  I made yummy funfetti cupcakes with vanilla frosting and 3 jellybeans on each.  We saved some for Lulee's friends that she has playdates with and brought them over to their houses along with jellybean filled eggs.  We also gave some to our neighbors to wish everyone a very Happy Easter.

 
I made these matching Easter shirts the morning of the party.  They are of their hand prints that we dipped their little hands in pink paint and shaped them into bunnies.  Brynlea had just gotten out of bed to have her hand put right into paint and onto a shirt...her eyes still trying to open from being asleep.  She was a real trooper though.  Didn't cry or anything.  She actually thought it was rather amusing.  Lulee was wide awake, however, and absolutely LOVED it.

Press play to watch and listen to Lulee play with the drumsticks in this portion of the musical program.

Here is the group doing their musical program...Lulee is on the end with her head down.  She enjoyed talking a lot with the girl next to her, but they all did such a great job and it was so much fun watching them.

Daddy took a picture of Mommy and Brynlea playing while waiting on Lulee's next performance. :)

Here's Lulee and her friend that she calls her boyfriend/husband, showing off their artwork from their class at the school's art exhibit.  Look how good they did and how proud they are.  Ryan and I  went around the whole room and took pictures of everything...this summer we will have lots of fun crafts and artsy things to do with the kiddos. :)

Here is the yummy food we had for the Easter party.....we are all about the food. ;)

 
Lulee is so excited about all the eggs she has in her basket.  The hunt was originally supposed to take place outside, but the weather didn't allow it. The eggs were hidden throughout different classrooms instead and the children were able to hunt 13 eggs each.  They were so excited and it was so much fun watching them.  Lulee and I counted hers over and over to make sure she had hers, because she still wanted to hunt. ;)

It was wonderful, everyday with our 3 babies and wonderful mommykins, makes for a perfect life. I was holding Brynster Hampster the other day, looking in the mirror thinking about how quick they grow up. I am so glad you write these blogs mommy-doll.
