So this post is a little delayed, but part of that reason is because the month of April is filled with family birthdays. Between 3 family members with birthdays in the span of 7 days, it gets a little crazy scheduling celebrations, surprises, etc.
Ashley's birthday comes first on the 18th of April and I think her celebration this year was pretty low-key. She'll make up for it next year though with the big 3-0.
Jeremy's is the day after on the 19th of April. This year we celebrated with the girls the night before and had our own little party at home. Kensley of course loved decorating and preparing for the party. The girls helped me make a cake, decorate with balloons, etc. The night of Jeremy's birthday we went out for dinner at Ocean Prime and enjoyed a quiet, leisurely dinner while Grammy and Grampy babysat.
On Saturday, the 20th we surprised Nana for her birthday by spending the weekend together and staying in a hotel in Indy. I use the word "surprise" loosely as it's tough to have too many surprises when you have two three year olds in the mix that like to talk a lot. This was a milestone birthday for Nana and we were instructed often that there was to be no big surprise party. So we figured what better way for her to spend her birthday than with her favorite grandkids! :)

The kids did lots of swimming at the hotel in addition to running the halls. We had a little birthday party for Nana complete with pizza, party hats, noise makers and cake. The kids loved opening her presents and I'm pretty sure everything was opened in less than a minute with all her helpers!
The big girls got to have a slumber party in Nana and Papa's room and they actually slept pretty well on Saturday night. Sunday morning we had donuts at the hotel and then it was back down to the pool to do more swimming. We managed to squeeze in lunch at the Cheesecake Factory, despite having exhausted kids, before everyone left to go home.
Unfortunately pictures were limited, so here is one of Nana with the kids.
