A Month of Birthdays!

Grandpa Glen, Grandma Tara and Malachi all have March birthdays in addition to Haleigh-bear. Since we celebrated hers early when Grandpa Jay and Grandma Kelley were here, we decided to have one big party day for the others.

We started by meeting up at the Bham Fam Fair, which was basically a place for local vendors to come and advertise, but they all set up a booth and have some sort of a game/activity for the kids to do. And since it was at the Sportsplex, there was also free ice skating.

Haleigh wasn't too sure she wanted to try it...she never made it in!

I was impressed at how still Annaliese sat to have her face painted!

Elias' turn. Mallory also had a heart painted on her cheek; Haleigh didn't want one.

After we had walked through all of the vendors, we headed over to the ice skating rink to give that a try. Annaliese got her skates on and stepped onto the ice, only to decide it was too slippery to try. We had lots of tears, smeared face-painting, and more tears. She ended up watching from the bench, safely off the ice clinging to Grandpa.

We grabbed a bite to eat from one the local food trucks and found a picnic table by the baseball diamond where a local high school game was getting started. Annaliese and Elias wanted to watch and they were super intrigued by it!

From here, we headed back to Grandpa and Grandma's house. While Mallory and Malachi napped, Annaliese and Elias checked out the hot tub and played outside.

We then headed back inside and did an Easter Egg hunt. Kim and Thane were going to Thane's side of the family on Easter Sunday, but we thought it would be fun to do a little Easter egg hunt with all the kids together. They each had to find their own eggs, which were labeled with their initials. 

Malachi's eggs had Puffs in them!

Lastly, we celebrated Malachi's birthday with cupcakes for the kids and Grandpa and Grandma's birthdays with salted caramel cheesecake and coconut creme pie.
