BLoG-WoRTHY!

Disclaimer: This may seem like a crazy amount of pictures to you (the reader), but to me (the mom) it is not enough. In 3 days we celebrated Lily Kate's 5th Birthday, participated in LTC (Dallas), and had the traditional Easter-fest with Donald's side of the family...

Day 1- American Girl Boutique & Bistro (Dallas)We were so glad Nana came to "party" with us.

Ethan & Jack under their favorite picture

Lily Kate brought her friend, Molly, along. They were way too cute! We all had so much fun at the boutique, but if you are going to go-
be sure to make reservations to eat at the Bistro. It was the icing on the cake.
I am not sure if the boys will admit it, but they had fun, too! Right as we were seated at the Bistro- the waiter left these games for the boys to keep them entertained.
The food was delicious!
This was the doll that Lily had been "dreaming about". She decided on Kit. She is adorable!
I definitely pushed the American Girl thing on her.
My sisters & I all had one when we were little-so, I get to be a little girl all over again with her.
Hey, Donald got to re-live the Spiderman & Star Wars days with the boys. This is only fair!
Now, on to LTC (Leadership Training for Christ)

Lily, Molly & Sawyer in our hotel room
Jack, Ethan & Keaten eating pizza in the hallway (probably because they did not want to hang out with the above in the hotel room! or vice versa)
What I did not get pictures of was Ethan competing in the Bible Bowl competition. He did really well!
And... the Night Time Swim Session that took place afterwards. I did not bring swimsuits- so, all 3 kids swam in their clothes. It was great!
3-12 grade Large Chorus
Drama
Now- off to Easter in Star,TX
On your mark... get set... Go!!!
The Hunt is on...

Ethan & his sweet cousin, Lori. They are 3 months apart!

Boss & Nonnie
The Cousins
The parents trying to recreate the cousin picture, but there was alot more- "Hurry up & take the picture. My knees hurt. I'm slipping..." I was one of the whiners for sure.
Aunt Teresa made Jack & Lily a birthday cake. It was precious!
Their birthdays are 5 days apart- so, they are doomed to forever share a cake.
It would not be Easter (or any other family get together where Newtons are present) if a game of "42" was not played! Jack gets so in to it!
More to come next weekend when we "party" for Jack's birthday!
