Easter
 |
| "Helping" me stuff eggs with candy. This is her, "It's ok if I have a few smarties? And maybe one or two fruit snacks? It's ok, mommy? It's ok for Easter?" |
 |
| Hey bunny ears!! |
 |
| Pretty cute Easter outfit, huh? |
 |
| We had a little Easter egg hunt after church and of course she needed her wings. |
 |
| Grandma and Papa came up from Cape Girardeau and it was so fun! |
 |
| We had a little birthday celebration and she got some super cute dress up clothes. Most importantly, she got a pink ballerina music box!! Starting a day before her birthday she asked us 25 times a day for a pink ballerina music box. Papa managed to find one and she LOVES it!!! She was so excited! |
More birthday!!
 |
| On her birthday she woke up to lots of presents! A special surprise was that Grammy, Aunt Riley, and Uncle Logan were staying with us after their Florida trip! She got fairy wings and high-heeled dress up shoes, as requested. |
 |
| She had been asking to go to the Arch for her birthday for months. So, we all went. The only issue was that it was SUPER crowded since it was Good Friday and probably spring break for a lot of people. We played outside on the Arch grounds and had fun even if we didn't take a tram to the top. |
 |
| I feel like we look a little bit alike here...can you see it?? |
 |
| Oh, hey Tenholders. |
 |
| Just some acrobatics...the usual. |
 |
| Oh, hey Steffeys! |
 |
| After the Arch we headed to Citygarden for lunch. The big girl requested food trucks for lunch (how cool is she?) and we got gyros and some food from Lulu's. It was delicious! |
 |
| The Steffeys enjoyed their 1st food truck experience! |
 |
| We climbed across the reflecting pool several times. |
 |
| Jumping with daddy |
 |
| After a quick nap we made homemade pizzas for dinner. Notice all of the olives for the birthday girl! And the fairy wings! And the outfit change! |
 |
| More candles... |
 |
| I think she woke up older on her birthday. She just looks like a 3-year-old now. No longer a toddler. A preschooler. |
 |
| A little park action after dinner |

Birthday Party!!
 |
| Violet has been asking to have a "pink kitty cat" party for months! So, we had a pink kitty cat party. It was fun to have our friends together for dessert! This is the pink kitty cat cake I made for her. |
 |
| Face painting cat faces because obviously! |
 |
| Happy Birthday, kitty cat! |
 |
| Most of her friends wanted to be kitty cats, too! |
 |
| Her friends were also very interested in watching her open presents. It was kind of crazy the way she tore through everything...but she told everyone thank you and got lots of awesome stuff! |
 |
| Daddy read Pinkalicious Flower Girl to the girls |
 |
| We all made it 3 years! Hooray! |
 |
| Check out the desserts: homemade pink marshmallows, mini cones for strawberry ice cream, pink cupcakes with pink sprinkles, and a cookie decorating station. The kids were going a little crazy after all of this! |
 |
| Just twirling a little bit... |
Puppet Show
 |
| We went to see a puppet show at Faust Park with Theresa and Luca. I didn't know what she would think about it, but she loved it! |
 |
| They asked for volunteers from the audience to help with the story and she just raised her little hand like a big girl! |
 |
| She was picked from the audience and got to go up to the front and help! She was so excited and proud. |
 |
| After the story we got to ride the carousel. It was a fun morning! |
Other
 |
| Being a cheeseball with Aunt Riley |
 |
| We got 7 inches of snow this week! |
 |
| She likes to play in the snow for up to 5 minutes. Then she is too cold. |
 |
| We made some pretty tasty snow ice cream. |
 |
| No nap + 4:00 walk = snooze in the stroller (haven't seen this in a LONG time!) |
