Birthday and Easter Celebrations

We did Sierra's B-day party and Easter together on Saturday night

instead of Sunday. Sunday is busy enough with

church services and pancake breakfast.

It was much more relaxed and Shawn was even home from college.

Sierra took right to the presents and of course there had to be

basketball since March madness is on. Go Badgers!!

Sierra wanted to get at the cake and loved the new dolly

that Karlee gave her.

Mmmmm!!!

Guess Who Is Turning 1 Year Old

How can this weekend be one year already!!

She has become a sweet little girl, who is quite the

adventurer and who can throw a pretty good temper

tantrum when she doesn't get her way.

(That has to come from the Groat side! Hee Hee)

Birthday Dinner (finally) With A Night Away

Todd and I finally got to celebrate his birthday at his favorite
restaurant - Red Lobster. For waiting he was reward with Lobster Fest.
Let's just say he ate well. After that we went to a Gary& Greg
Smalley "I Promise" seminar in the Twin Cities. We recommend it.

It was also the first time we left Sierra over night.
