Cut to Friday, different day, same attitude. Robert and I went birthday shopping for Caleb after work and he stayed at Mimi's/Grandpa's for a couple hours. We couldn't get him to lay down for bed, but he finally fell asleep in mom/dads bed. Yay!!
Sat morning, a little better, a lot hyper. Watched Enchantment and Caleb loved the chipmunk, but not the singing. Neither did daddy ;) This was definitely your classic little girls musical! Very Sweet! After the movie, we headed out to the mall to pick up family pics and have some sort of nourishment besides the two donuts that Caleb had at 8 that morning. Hence, the hyper. :) The Family Pics turned out super and so was breakfast. Went to a couple more places and ended up going home around 1 to rest/nap before the party. Still psyched cause the weather couldn't be better except for strong wind gusts. Everyone out the door by 2:30 and over to the park. Loaded down with ice cream, juice and loads of plates, cups, etc. themed of Bob-the-Builder, we were ready for a party! We were lucky to score a table and set up with little trouble. The wind was CRAZY!? Caleb was more excited about playing in the sand than helping out to set up. Luckily Kaylee, his daycare friend showed up! His excitement doubled after that! Some guests included: Aunts and Uncles, Great Grandparents, Grandparents, Mom and Dad, and some friends from Saturday night church service.
At Kirby Park with Kaylee, Calebs birthday party.

About to dive into the cake. Literally they just stuck their hands in!
With dozens of presents and plenty of cake, the birthday party was a hit! We wrapped up about 4:30 and we appreciated all that came and joined in on the fun.
Easter Sunday, was your regular cold/rainy Easter here in West Texas. I didn't bother wearing a dress or anything that resembled spring warm weather, except for a purple maternity shirt and khaki pants. Caleb wore his Church clothes that his MIMI had bought him. My sweet boy was ready for church in a tie, dress slacks, all the way down to his black penny loafers.
So church and dinner on the grounds, but no Easter egg hunt. It was just too rainy and wet. Caleb was set on having candy for dessert, and here came the "Easter bunny" at church with his dozens of plastic sack filled with Easter eggs for the kids. The Bunny always pulls through ;) Later, we went home for a nap, with another present from the Easter Bunny, A basketball hoop at Caleb's house! Then off again to Mimi's house for cheeseburgers and leftover birthday cake....with more Easter Bunny stops. This time he got a Wagon full of goodies, bubble bath and "egg" chalk.
Least to say our weekend was full of eventful experiences. Thanks again to all who attended the party and helped out. Hope everyone had an egg-cellent Resurrection Weekend! Praise Him for the rain and the sunshine! Jesus IS alive!
