Easter 2013

Easter was fun. We decided to try dying eggs twice this year, first with Koolaid then with dye. I wasn't impressed with the Koolaid color but it did smell fruity.

Our second attempt was with real dye. The eggs turned out much more colorful. We used stickers to add designs to the eggs. Aunt Alyssa helped the girls.

The week before Easter we had a neighborhood egg hunt at the park. The girls had fun looking for eggs and playing with friends. 

On Easter morning the girls searched the house for their baskets. Inside their baskets they found candy and a puzzle of Christ. The girls love putting puzzles together.

That afternoon we headed to the Moss' for dinner and an egg hunt with the extended family. It was a beautiful day and the girls loved finding eggs (especially the ones with money in them!)

Plastic Fort

Scott brought home a bunch of plastic sheets and decided to make a fort for the girls. They loved it. He built it around their small playhouse and slide. It was pretty sturdy and the girls had lots of fun playing in it. The day was beautiful so we decided to have our first picnic of the year. Hopefully it stays nice and sunny. We are done with winter. :)

Quick Trip to Washington

For my mom's birthday, my grandma flew my sister and me up to Washington to celebrate. It was a short weekend, without kids, but we had a blast! It was fun just to get together, hang out, play games, eat lots of yummy food, take walks, and laugh a ton. My grandma threw a luncheon in honor of my mom and afterwards we all went and got pedicures. I had a great time and cant wait to do it again!

3 Years Old!

Olivia turned 3! I can't believe how fast my baby is growing. She is such a big girl and even refuses to be called "baby". Her wonderful nursery leaders stopped by and gave her some cookies and a big yellow flower. Olivia is always telling them that yellow is her favorite color. We celebrated that night with family, over dinner, cake and ice cream. Olivia asked for a princess cake, so I made her a Cinderella cake. She loved celebrating her special day.

Olivia also had her 3 year check up. Here are her stats:
Height: 38.5 inches (82%)
Weight: 32.8 pounds (71%)
