St. Patricks, Easter

So for St. Patrick's Day I took Sydney to "Celtic Night", an Irish dance show. She's been taking Irish dance now for several months. Her teachers are in the group who were performing. They also had a live band playing irish music. It was pretty good, although she fell asleep halfway through the second half. Another reason we went was because her cousin was in one of the dances. Sadie tried out and made it to be in the show. It was a short part before the other women came out to perform, but it was really cute!

Sydney doesn't even weigh enough to sit in the seats!

On Saturday, the day before Easter, we went to a little party with a picnic and an Easter egg hunt with some friends from the ward. Unfortunately, we forgot to take our camera! (woops!)

Then we went over to Macey's to let the kids pet some baby animals they had outside while I grabbed a couple groceries. After we were done, I asked Sydney if she wanted to go get her hair cut (they have a place right next to Macey's). Sydney had cut herself a few bangs a couple of days before, and we needed to get some more cut to even it out. I decided I wanted to let a pro do it this time. I've always cut her hair myself, but I'm not very good at it. Again, we didn't have our camera.....so I didn't get any cute pictures of her on the chair! She was EXTREMELY "nervous" about it, but ended up really loving it. A true girl! She decided she wanted it cut to her shoulders and have bangs. I didn't want it short yet...but it was her call. And it turned out just adorable!
Here are the two kids later that afternoon as they dyed eggs. I put them in some old shirts of mine, so they wouldn't stain their clothes. :)
I could NOT get a good shot of Ethan. He's such a STINKER when it comes to pictures and won't hold still for even a half second. lol. But at least I got one with his egg.
And Sydney loved her egg too. (and I had a little fun with photoshop, ha ha)
The Easter bunny had come for Saturday, instead of Sunday, so the kids got to go on a little treasure hunt to find their baskets - which they loved. On Sunday, we have 1:00 church, so we had a little Easter lesson in the morning, and then went to my in-laws after church for a nice turkey and ham dinner. I made a couple desserts and we sang "happy birthday" to Wendell (it's coming up on Thursday). I wish I had more pictures of everything, but we were such slackers this time around. Oh well. It was a fun Easter! :)
