Our day started seeing what the bunny brought and hid in our house...
Stella, our first born, was pretty mad because yet again she was forgotten in the present department, but tormented with festivities!
The girls got a life size Dora. (Let me tell you, in my stumbling morning blur, I saw Dora in the toy room and peed my pants a bit. She is so darn big I thought we had an intruder!)
Pound Puppies were high on the desire list. The girls got a litter! (With our 20% dog rate... this is it in ways of puppies for a long while!) We fondly named the puppies: Butterscotch,
Peanutbutter, Easter & Wags.
Cheese... I mine Peeps... smile big for Easter!
We were then off to Gaga,
Gapa and Aunt Manda's house! We had an egg hunt.
Their backyard is shaping up beautifully. I had to take a picture with the rose... more buds are popping up!
For every egg the girls found they got a correlating, non-egg fitting, no sugar added prize! Great idea!
Gapa tried his skills at bubble blowing. His vigorous turns led to a bubble covered Gaga. Good thing the bubbles are grape flavored!
The eggs awaited the heated competition!
We posed for Easter pictures.
Aunt
Manda was out helping the Bunny until 7am!
Ummm... one of several pictures I have of big faces that were supposed to be watching the camera!
haha- Maia puts everything in her mouth... or tries!
We had the egg contest. Much to
Gapa's dismay we started oldest to youngest again. After a near mishap, with
Liah nearly hitting Maia directly with her egg, she brought home the victory!
Ahh sweet success. (Please notice a salty
Gapa in the background, already peeling his loser egg!)
After a yummy dinner of steak, salmon, rice, spinach and buns... it was off to the park!
The girls (yep all of us) enjoyed running around and playing. This child (whom we do NOT know) became a fast friend. She even pushed our big butts on the swings!
We were all super tired when we got home!
Happy Easter!
We took a few trips to the pool to work on our tans!
Maia was sporting her new 'kini from Gapa!
Mom liked working on her tan. She is going to tell people at school that she went to the beach!
Maia drove to the pool!
Liah had a wee tiny timeout at the pool for a few unfavored choices.
Liah was swimming like a big girl!
We posed for some front yard pics.
We snuggle-buggled with Stella.
We played hide and seek.
More trips to the pool!
More posing!
Maia is so big!
Liah finds every opportunity to strike a pose.... including cleaning up the loft!
We hung out and watched basketball!
We dressed Stella up!
We enjoyed the hot weather... outside. We were not so fond of the inside temp. So, we found ways to stay cool.
Maia hogged the fan!
We went to the park.
We had yummy food!
We tried new hairdos.
We slept on the floor.
We cleaned out the closets (barf!). We then donated 8 giant bags of clothes to charity!
