she insisted on taking off all her clothes and wearing just the shoes

we celebrated caroline's actual birthday on wed, april 15 as a family by going to chick-fil-a, the b'day girl's choice, for dinner! after dinner, she and daddy had a date at the movies together...another b'day tradition of ours. that friday, caroline had her closest little girlfriends over for a pretend pajama party. they made little individual pizzas, decorated pillowcases, played pin the slipper on the pjs, painted their nails and had yummy cake and ice cream for dessert. it was such a fun party!!!!!! most importantly, caroline had the best time and was very thankful for everything :)

we had a wonderful easter in marietta with our families! nothing better than celebrating the resurrection of Jesus with our loved ones! we all went to church in the morning, headed to gramie and papa's for brunch and an easter egg hunt and then to grandma and grandad's for dinner and an easter egg hunt. so much fun!!!
