Had to get a picture of her in one of her three Easter. dresses. If you can't tell she added accessories to the outfit. The necklace is from school and the bracelet is from Kindra. In the first picture we call the expression one of her Kylie faces.

This year we took Ari to the base Easter Egg Hunt. Bryan had to work but was able to join us. I think Ari was a little overwhelmed There were lots of kids and they combined 1-5. She was able to get a couple eggs and that was fine with her. She also won a special stuffed animal. They had lots of activities for the kids. She enjoyed the slide again, but she really liked the pony rides. She went a couple times.

From 2011-04-23 Toby Keith Concert

After all the turmoil in Bahrain this was a much needed concert. Toby Keith was very down to earth and put on a fantastic concert. He made you feel like you knew him personally. Ari had a good time dancing to the music. She put on her own show for everyone sitting or standing by us. I think I like concerts like this. The concert was held in the court yard of our main entertainment building. We got their just after the show started and still got a good spot. We were able to enjoy dinner while listening to the music.

The next day we ran into Toby Keith while heading to the softball field. I thanked him for a great concert and he reached down and kissed Ari's hand and thanked us for serving our Country.

Ari's Birthday Party

I know I am way past due, but I use the blog as a family journal so I need to post this event.

Ari was spoiled by so many kind friends. We held Ari's birthday party at the bowling center on base. We were able to have two inflatables at the party. The birthday theme was Elmo and Friends. We had Elmo's favorite food pizza and Elmo cupcakes. I think the adults had as much fun as Ari playing on all the inflatables. Thanks for our wonderful friends for spoiling Ari and helping us clean up after.
