Sofi turns 5!

Sofi was so excited for her birthday this year! She kept asking and asking when it was, so she and I finally made a countdown chain to hang on her bedroom door. Well, the day finally came and despite the fact that it was during COVID and we couldn't have a friend birthday party, she was still her cheerful self. We love 5 year old Sofi!

 

It was made extra special this year by having Greggy home all day long!

Making cupcakes!

Claire's birthday gift was choosing to nap this day.

I felt so bad that Sof didn't get a birthday party, so I texted her cousins and they were all too happy to do a drive-by for her (which has become the new thing), and they did not disappoint! 

Sof and T-Rex Toby

Toby came prepared in his T-rex costume.

Even though we weren't supposed to mingle, everyone did anyway. I think we were all kind of over the whole social distancing thing. Plus, we're family. Who cares when it's family, right?

Sof documenting the whole thing on her cute new camera.

Claire loved her cupcake with blue icing.

The original plan was to have a friend movie night, but we improvised by inviting Mittens. Sof was so excited to watch "Onward" and have a late-night. She sure is growing up fast!

I won mother-of-the-year award when I realized we didn't have any candles! I must've thrown them all away after Greg's birthday. We did have a 2 and 3 which = 5, right Greg? Anyway, we used matches instead. To this day, Sofi still asks us why she didn't have candles on her birthday. And that is what she focuses on. Oh, Sof.

Easter 2020

Thanks to COVID, our normally fun, family-filled Easter Weekend became pretty quiet. But, we were surprisingly okay with it. We dyed our own eggs (which the girls loved!) and it was fun to find our own little things we could do. A lot of people are complaining about COVID, but honestly life hasn't changed too drastically for us. It was a definite learning curve, but we learned to make the best of it.

I will say though, it was pretty sad getting the notification on my phone for the Easter Egg Hunt and not being able to go. Until next year (fingers crossed)!

I LOVE Claire's skirt. Especially on her adorable, stubby little body! 💗

We woke early to Mittens sitting on Greg's shoulder. It never gets old watching that cat climb Greg like a tree. 

Don't be fooled. He acts like he hates it but his flaring nostrils give him away Every. Time.

 

The cutest little girls in their Easter dresses! COVID didn't prevent the Easter Bunny from finding them. Not even a Pandemic can stop that!

Vising the Family Plots in the Cemetery

We were dying over this chicken wearing a mask! Only during COVID ...

Poor Mittens! Hopefully he knows how loved he is 🤣💜

Cute Sofia telling the story of Christ's Resurrection 💗
