Easter

The Easter bunny visited our house and Nannie's. The girls had a fun egg hunt too.  The day was beautiful and we had a wonderful time with family.

Dying Easter eggs

This was the first time we dyed Easter eggs. I think it took more time to set up then dying the eggs. Took us about a full five minutes to dye the eggs. The girls had fun!  Maybe next year we will be a little more creative.

Bees

Kendall got a new batch of bees for this spring. The girls got to spray the bees with sugar water. Julia thought she would try on the bee hat. Of course her bike helmet had to be on too!  We got to taste the honey. It was delicious ad we can't wait until she extracts it.

Julia

Julia is becoming quite the big girl. She is talking a lot and likes to do what Katie does, including walking down the steps like a big girl. Mommy and daddy don't like that so much.  She got a bike helmet and would sleep in it if we would let her.  She is very funny and growing up way too fast.

A rare picture together

I rarely get a picture of the girls together. They are starting to play together a little more.

Our family pet

We have a hawk that hangs out in the back yard.  He watched as the girls played outside.

Fun outside

Christmas

We had a wonderful Christmas. Katie was so excited and loved all of her gifts from Santa, even the orange in her stocking.  Julia was pretty happy with just the goldfish in her stocking. My dad and Deb celebrated Christmas with us there year too.  We had a very busy day with gifts at our house, breakfast and more presents at Kendall and Glenn's and even more fun at Suzie and Jeff's.  Thanks to everyone who made the girls Christmas so special.
