Eggs

This year the girls dyed eggs for the first time.

 

 

One of my favorites is Quinn's. She wanted to dye one white!



Easter Pictures

I normally do not buy the girls frilly dresses for Easter. My number one reason is I don't like spending a lot of money on a dress they will wear once. I like to buy dresses for Easter that they can wear often. Anyway, this year I couldn't resist the frills. The dresses were so cute and the girls were so excited to wear something so girly. They looked adorable!!! I had to take some pictures. The best part is that they liked the dresses so much they have worn them several times since Easter. Yay!! We may end up dressed up every Easter now...it's just too fun not to.

 

 

 

 

 

Snow Day

In February it finally snowed. After waiting all winter the girls were so excited to play out in it. There wasn't much snow but it was just enough to make a mini snowman. Totally worth getting all bundled up for!

 

 

 

 

 



Happy Birthday, Jesus!

It gets harder and harder to try and get our extended families together for the holidays. So this year was a little different. We got together with Jared's family the weekend before Christmas and with my family the weekend after. So that left Christmas day for just the four of us. Jared and I have never had Christmas day to ourselves....ever. We have always been at one of our parents house or traveling on the day. So I was so excited and was looking forward to making a big meal and just relaxing with my family. It was so fun. We woke up and opened gifts, Jared read the Christmas story, had breakfast, and then the girls and I started in on making Jesus' birthday cake. That was too much fun! I then started on dinner...we had ham, broccoli rice casserole, mashed potatoes, rolls, marshmallow salad, and birthday cake. It was delicious and I felt very Susie homemaker! So thankful for Jesus and for his sacrifice. It was such a blessing to celebrate Him with my family. Happy Birthday, Jesus!

 

Our birthday party for Jesus was awesome. The girls picked out what type of cake. Claire was convinced that Jesus would love chocolate cake with chocolate icing and of course, sprinkles. And she would be right!!

(no matter how hard I tried to fix it the first two pics are out of order.uggg)

                                                                                                                                                                        

 

That's my girl!!

Happy Birthday Jesus! We're so glad it's Christmas...

Singing Happy Birthday!



Beautiful day in the neighborhood.

It really is hard to believe that I am sitting outside in January blogging and watching my sweet babies play. I am a 74 degree kind of girl and could live at that temp forever. It is 73 right now and is wonderful. It is a little breezy and I am sure the three of us will end up sick but I couldn't pass up the opportunity to be outside.

 

 

By the way...the girls dressed themselves today and I kinda love what they picked.



Rhema Lights

We try to take the girls to see the lights at Rhema every year. This year was the best by far...it was in the 70's!! I wasn't freezing my buns off and wishing I had brought cash with me to buy hot chocolate. We walked a little longer and enjoyed it a little more. Thank the Lord for nice weather.
