Enchanted Easter and Wonder Pets Birthday

This post is admittedly a little late, but for all those still missing the day where a giant bunny delivers chocolate to children around the world we'd just like to say "Happy Easter!" We got the fun opportunity of going on an Easter Egg hunt the day before Easter and Brooke was very happy with the result making sure to only pick out the bright pink eggs so her basket was literally a sea of pink. But even though the Easter Egg hunt was a lot of fun, the highlight of Easter came the next day when the generous Easter bunny surprised Brooke with the Enchanted DVD in her Easter basket. Brooke absolutely LOVES this movie and as a result for the past week there has been no Mom and Dad in this household as we have only been addressed by the titles of Princess Giselle (Shan) and Pip the squirrel (Kenny). I've put the soundtrack to the movie at the right in case you want to sample the music that has been permanently etched on our brains due to the innumerable listenings in our house for the past few weeks.

We also had Brooke's 3 year old birthday party yesterday even though her birthday isn't technically until April 1st. The party was a Wonder Pets themed birthday and for all those unfamiliar with Nick Jr. pop culture, the Wonder Pets consist of a guinea pig, turtle, and baby duck who go around saving other little animals in trouble by using teamwork. Needless to say Brooke had a blast running around with all her friends and role playing like the Wonder Pets and Shan even made a special cake that looked just liked the show's cute ducky Ming-Ming. As for Shan and I, we finally discovered exactly how exhausting hosting a little kids birthday party with friends can be and feel lucky the party went on without a hitch. Enjoy the pics!
