Construction Party

This weekend, Noah celebrated his 4th birthday.  He celebrated by having a construction themed birthday party...his first birthday party EVER!  After watching from the sidelines as Zoe has had her birthday parties the last few years, he was thrilled to be the center of attention.  We kept the party small and everyone had a great time!

 Goodie Buckets for the party goers

 Gum balls were a must since chewing gum is a 

rite of passage in the Macknicki household

 Goodies for the party guests

PB&J/PB& Honey Sandwiches shaped like hammers, saws, 

bulldozers, drills, construction hats, and wrenches

 The Cake

 Cake again from a different angle

All Lit Up!

The inside of the cake...my attempt at making the inside

look like caution tape

Easter In Photos

I don't have much time or energy to write about our trip to Fresno for Easter so I'll leave you with photos to recap the day.

 Excited to be awake at 11:00 P.M. to head to 

church for the midnight Pascha service

 Zoe hunting for Easter Eggs at Baba and Papa's House

 This one was NOT lacking in enthusiasm for the goodies 

he found inside each of his eggs.  

 Bubbles from the Easter basket...not quite as messy

as last year (see link if you don't know about THE bubbles)

 Yes!  More goodies!

 See, the enthusiasm never waned!

 Bubble Girl!

 This one just won't stop growing!

 You would think I had put gold in his eggs!
