Friends in the right places has it's benefits! Over the years we've developed a friendship with the manager of an Italian restaurant we like to frequent. Meet JAY! He is so good to us and the kids. We've been going so long he's watched them grow up and celebrate many special occasions. He always whips up something spectacular!
This was his creation for Ellie's latest celebration.... four gigantic scoops of ice cream, each topped with something to please any young guest. Sprinkles, chocolate chips, caramel and apples, bananas with chocolate sauce etc. The kids feel like royalty and beam from ear to ear! Thanks Jay for spoiling us and the kids rotten!
Look what the funny bunny brought.....
Ellie makes short work of her basket!
Bakugan's..... The Easter Bunny really knows Daimon well!
The Spratley clan's Easter dinner, good times! Auntie Kelly couldn't convince Ely to let her hold him..... It's a battle of wills and I'm not giving up hope yet!
Grandma's are great at spoiling..... fortunately for Ellie Grandma Teri likes to spoil her with Broadway shows...... lucky girl!
Show us your best cat stance!
I had to go Nashville Tennessee for a software conference this week. It was held at the Gaylord Opryland Resort. It is the largest non-casino hotel in the world and the largest hotel in the United States outside Las Vegas. It has 2,881 rooms with four open indoor garden area's that are bigger than football fields.
Indoor river you could take a boat ride on.

Most adults probably look back at grade school field trips with fond memories. I love having the opportunity to share those memories and experiences with them, it's one of the joys of motherhood! Our first stop was a picnic lunch on the MCC campus!
Water safety day included making a framed hand print with a promise to follow the ABC's of water safety.
These girls were listening very intently to the firemen's instructions after climbing through the fire truck!
What child doesn't like cotton candy???
We got to watch the helicopter take off...... pretty amazing!
"Sprinkler" and "Bubbles".... this dynamic duo did a great skit on water safety!
A day of fun, and learning makes for some worn out kids!
