Lexi Fun Night

 Sometimes we try to do things that are fun for just Lexi.  She's a great sister and often has to sacrifice what she wants to do to because of her brother.  She never complains :).  So, we came up with something special for her tonight.

Before I go into details, I have to say that it worked out perfectly because today at gym, Lexi got her back handspring!  She was so excited.  She also got her front hip-circle on the bars.  So she was totally pumped already which made the night even more fun!

 Once it grew dark outside, we let Lexi know we had a surprise and while we prepared she was forced to sit in the living room reading a book.  When we let her out, we had a glow-in-the-dark egg hunt and we made smores - out of peeps!  Perhaps I should give Pinterest credit here as well, but most of you probably recognize it.  I figure it doesn't matter where you get the ideas as long as you use them :).



















We hid the eggs all around the playhouse.  In the dark picture above, you can see the specs of light.  Lexi came out in her PJ's and found them all (rather quickly, because the idea is certainly not to hide them well).

 Once we finished finding the eggs, it was time for a fire.  She loved making smores with the pink peeps bunnies! 




It was a great night and Lexi said it was the best part of Spring Break (even better than getting her back handspring at gym!).  No matter what, the memories we made were awesome!
