Here Comes Peter Cottontail

I know Easter is all about Jesus and his sacrifice, yet we also celebrate the bunny at our house. We knew the real meaning of Easter when we were growing up while celebrating the bunny, so we carry on that tradition with our little Henry. This is our third Easter with our little fella.Learning the rules of egg hunting has been difficult for our little guy. He wants to throw them and run away. It is quite comical to watch.
We took our little egg hunter to an egg hunt with some friends. He was unsure about the group hunt, but was willing to line up with the kiddos and take a stab at it.
Wearing the bucket on his head. What a little clown. He is my child and I love it.
And finally he realized the eggs had candy in them and he was off to the races! He now wants candy in the eggs we play with at home...but of course!
Our cookie lady, Amy shipped us these cookies for Henry's school Easter party. Aren't they adorable?! She really does a great job and we can always count on her to come up with something unique for us.
Henry enjoyed his sunrise Easter party at school. We were assigned plates and napkins. I loved that assignment! I found them at the Dollar Tree. I thought they were super cute.
Henry loves having parties. He gets so excited. He also loves having mama or daddy at his school. It is always fun to be part of his school day. We are so blessed to have him in a daycare that teaches him about Jesus and that he has teachers who love our boy like their very own.
Henry was dressed in his bunny sweater and all smiles about going to see the Easter Bunny.
And then he saw the bunny! He was not excited at all. He was scared speechless. He screamed and shut down. The mother behind us in line gave me the dirtiest look ever because I made him sit there anyway to get a photo. Oh well, it was a moment I wanted to remember, call me a bad mom, I can take it! lol. Henry was perfectly fine as soon as he got his sucker and bunny ears from the photo guy. He walked through the mall saying 'I saw Easter Bunny" with great pride. Oh me, what a funny little bunny we have!

A Blind Date & Leaving Comments

8 years ago today I met this sweet man in the picture above. We met on a blind date in the Bluff City (aka- Memfrica). He and I were simply going out to shut up his stepmother and my sister, who had decided that we were meant to be together from one simple fridge photo and a dog named Abby. Little did we know they would be able to pat themselves on the back for the rest of their lives . I am so glad we both agreed to go out for that one date on New Years Eve 2001 because I have had him in my life everyday since that crazy night at my cousin Hollye's back door when he arrived to pick me up to find a baby on my hip that he thought was mine. I remember those beautiful blue eyes and how they about popped out of his head as he stood at the door wondering why no one had mentioned my child. That baby on my hip was Claire. She was 1 then and had just gone number 2 in her diaper right before he rang the bell. She had Styrofoam all over her and me from playing in Christmas boxes. Needless t

All Aboard The Birthday Polar Express

  Can you believe Henry Patton will be 4 years old tomorrow?! Neither can we. We celebrated his birthday last weekend with his first all boy party, polar express style. I had so much fun preparing for it, as you can probably tell! My mother who is never at a loss for words said it looked like Polar Express threw up in my house. She was SO right and we loved it! We had a breakfast pajama party with 7 three and four year old boys. It was such a fun time.   I had his pajamas monogrammed with a train and his name. He loved them and I liked how they sort of looked like the ones on the movie. Henry loved all the bells I had everywhere. There is no doubt we believe at this house. We had the jingle loud and proud!   I had his invitation made from a shop on Etsy and I was very pleased with them. One of his little friends came to the door ready for me to punch his ticket. It was so cute. I ran to get a hole punch and punched it for him. Every good party has to have go
