Easter 2013

Happy Easter!

Neighborhood Egg Hunt

The neighborhood egg hunt was so much fun!

The Easter Bunny

Spring Break wouldn't be complete without a trip to the mall to visit the Easter Bunny!

Spring Break Swim Camp

We had swim camp during Spring Break week and both kids loved it!  We will continue lessons in a few weeks.  Jack was super excited to graduate to the next level for his next lessons!

Weekend in Chicago!

We spent the weekend in Chicago for Jason's birthday!

We went to the Hancock Tower to check out the views...

Just where Jason wanted to go...American Girl and the Lego Store!

I think these two would have spent the entire afternoon looking out the window of our hotel room!

It was cute how they were discussing all of the building and Julia told Jack that the moon followed us all the way to Chicago (she was so excited!)....

Jack wanted his picture taken in front of all the displays in the Nike store (the boy that never wants his picture taken)...it was a great way to keep him entertained!

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Daddy had some helpers to blow out the candles (actually I think we relit them 3 or 4 times to make everyone happy!)...

St. Patrick's Party

We are wearing our green for a St. Patrick's Day party!

My Little Shopping Buddy...

...wanted to ride the dog at Old Navy, but we comprised with a picture instead!

ABC's

Julia needed a little motivation to learn how to recognize all of the ABC's and she was so proud of herself once she got it!  She set her mind to it she wasn't going to give up until she learned them!  We had a few 5:30 a.m. wake-ups with her flashcards in hand telling us she needed help learning her ABC's.  Some mornings she even got Jack to help her!  He was proud of her too!

Sledding

There is finally enough snow to sled down the little hill in the backyard!

The Performance!

Today was the big day....the Pixie Pom & Cheer performance!  I think the girls were most excited about getting their nails painted before the big show!

Flat Stanley & Snow

Flat Stanley arrived today for a visit....just in time for our first snowstorm of the season!
