Easter!

 The girls had a FOUR egg hunts!!!  They never mind this tradition of hunting eggs with candy inside!

 Our 5th year hunting eggs with these friends!

 Easter Sunday! The Easter bunny brought little toys and a chocolate rabbit to each girl.

 A final egg hunt in the backyard.

 Gotta look cool while hunting!

Arts and Hearts

In our house I have some serious arty kids!  We usually wait until Marielle is napping before painting, but I thought she might enjoy it.

 She loved it! Now I just give her a brush and water and she paints paper and everything she can reach! Another little artist! 

 Julianna made this sculpture and I was impressed, so she insisted I take her picture.

Cleaning brushes (or anything) in tubs of soapy water is big time entertainment for these two. 
 

 Valentine's Day!!! 

The girls had a blast at their school parties, and brought home lots of loot!

 Marielle helped herself. 

 . . .got one!

 Best Friends!

 Ahhhhh. .... sugar coma......
