Disney on Ice

Mom got us tickets for Disney on Ice, knowing what a big fan Grace is of the Disney princesses. It was a showcase of their two latest princesses, Princess Tiana and Rapunzel, and the classic Cinderella, hosted by Mickey and his gang.

Then there was a ball hosted by Cinderella and Prince Charming where all the Disney princesses made an appearance.  I was trying not to use my flash, so I wasn't able to get pictures of all of them because it was so dark and there was a lot of movement.

Snow White and her Prince

 

This sweet princess had a really good time too, especially dancing to all the music.

More Farm Fun

Well, Nebraska has redeemed itself.  While it's still cool, the snow is gone, and it is more suitable for the one thing Grace has been looking forward to doing.

This was all the horse Naomi needed!

Nikki was so great with her, and Naomi loved every minute of it. 

Riding with Chase as her "training wheels" 

"Tiny", as the girls came to call her, was a trooper!

She didn't even complain with this little girl got her hands on her.  I guess she knew she'd be better off just riding out the storm. 

I had a little fun shooting.  So did Grace, but I was inside with my sick baby boy while she was playing. 

Naomi had so much fun chasing all of the animals.

This kid is a natural on a horse. 

Naomi didn't think that Chase was the best person to ride with. 

But her daddy proved to be okay. 

Meanwhile, Uncle Dana took Grace and Emily for a tractor ride. 

Wichmanns brought over a couple of pigs while we were there, so there were even more animals around for the kids to mess with! 

Grace was all about helping Chase - as long as she got to be on horseback. 

T R O U B L E. 'nuff said. 

 

The kids have had a blast while we've been here! And I'm so glad that we've had this time with family, but I'm not so sure that Dana and Joanie aren't trying to gain another 3 farmhands...

Easter

Despite the lack of anything in our apartment, the "Easter Bunny" still found a few places to hide some goodies.

Hooray! Games for the plane!

 

We are so thankful that our kids know the real reason we celebrate this day and the treats from the "Easter Bunny" are just a bonus.

 

Praise the Lord!  He is risen! 

Eggstravaganza

It's times like these, when our stuff is all packed up and all we have is essentially the clothes on our backs, that I am so thankful for the things that the FMWR does for Military Families.  Today was the annual Easter egg hunt on Camp Humphreys.

Look at my duck! 

They made it a little more challenging for the older kids. 

I don't know what it is about rubber duckies, but my kids love 'em!

Fun in the bouncy obstacle course. 

Grace, Joy, and Bella waiting for their age group to start.

I don't know how Elvis relates to Easter, but he was there to kick off the older kids' hunt. 

Naomi doesn't like the Easter Bunny any more than she liked Santa. 

And this is what my tired baby does when she doesn't get her way...
