So Much Celebrating

I tried to keep Easter low key. I even told family we may go out of town, so don't expect the regular celebrating. We did get in a few Easter eggs hunts and even colored some boiled eggs.  Emmy got an Easter dress, from Justice min you, and she was included in the Utah family's Easter traditions. Celia like the Saturday before Easter because of the donut social. We had tabby over to play after. Let's just say celia is loving the room to herself again and some attention.  Celia had her 11th Birthday. The day before I took her and her buddy Olivia to Dave an Buster's. Celia kept saying how it was so cool and how she was so happy. That is a pretty big deal coming from our girl. They had unlimited video games, when the machines cooperated and they actually won something from the highly anticipated claw machine attempt. That machine may have been the reason she wanted to celebrate there.  That night was the Daddy daughter dance and Celia and Brian went. She dance d a little and had fun going out to dessert with Olivia and both he Dads. Bri was a trooper to go on such short notice.  Celia also had some friends over on Saturday. She got her frosting dog cake she wanted and was so happy with She got and new phone and  to have a pinata which she has been wanting for Dogs even came to her party. A visit from Olivia's furry friends was a bit hit. Celia had a beta fish named rainbow Kate so she is content for now with her pet situation. And the party continued on Monday with the tutors. We celebrated Spencer's upcoming birthday too, but Celia was loving the chocolate cake an gift Lindsey got her.  I've tried to tone down the amount of cake this year, but so far we are still doing cupcakes, but the amount is as immense an in other years. Celia might be on a three week sugar high from Easter and birthdays, possibly. I'm feeling very blessed with so much posterity and blessing and days looking up. I am standing on my two week a little more since my best helper Emmy has returned to school. It is tricky running the household with a healing ankle, but we are makin' it. This year has been full of blessings.. A tax return, Spencer's tummy healing, our kids learning more in school an progressing, Brian's work going well, Spencer calming down a bit  and increased love of the gospel and our Savior.
