First Lost Tooth

Emmi lost her first tooth.  It had been super wiggly and sure enough out it came.  She was super brave as she kept saying she wanted her Daddy to just pull it out, I stay away as wiggly teeth to me are gross. :)  sure enough she pulled it out one night went I was not home of course.  The tooth fairy left her a note with a few dollars that told her to go to Build-A-Bear to put her tooth it in since this would be the one time she gets to keep her tooth. Here she is after it happened, sorry pic from phone.

Then we have had a fantastic time in our new neighbor hood.  There is a girl down the street that Emmi has made friends with.  They play as often as they can.  Then we have had other imprompt gatherings at neighbors houses or other times just playing.  I cant say enough at how happy we are to have moved to a great neighbor hood.  It is also amazing to have the people in the neighborhood who are empty nesters stopping to say how it is so nice to see the kids playing again.  Here are some pictures that capture different times we have had.
Dance party with the Perry's and Carson's.

 Marli fell asleep while playing with her tablet since it is getting harder and harder to get them to bed by 7:30.

 Biking in the street.

 Here are all the girls in the hood biking, there are 3 5 year olds, 1 3 year old, 1 8 year old and 1 10 I think.

Easter Festivities

Saturday we had an egg hunt in our neighborhood.  They had pony rides, animals to pet and gerbils that Moo just loved to pick up.  Think she is going to be a vet with the way she always gravitates towards animals.

Then we hosted Easter Dinner with 16 close friends and family.  Everyone seemed to have a blast.  Arleigh took a ton of pictures to capture the day.  Here she is...
 Here are the photos...
