Easter Egg hunt at Great Grandma's

 The girls wore their bunny shirts!  Allie's pants crack me up, check those babies out!  Of course she loves them!

 They grabbed so many eggs!  We had to empty the first bucket into the stroller and they quickly filled it up again!

 There were fun crafts, activities and snacks after the hunt.

Allie and Dane hunting for eggs together.  These two are really great friends!

Spring Break Snow!

 The good news is that it wasn't too frigid and the girls had fun playing in it.  It snowed yesterday and it's already starting to melt today.

Easter Egg time!

Allie picked out a FROZEN easter egg kit, naturally!

The girls have been patiently waiting to dye their eggs.

Allie and I made the Olaf eggs!

Such an Allie face below that I had to post it!

Irish eyes are smiling!

Aunt Lyssie brought the kids the CUTEST outfits ever from Ireland!  The girls wore their outfits to school and both of them were very proud to wear them!  Claire told me that her teacher took a picture of her and Allie's teacher read a book about an Irish dancer that was wearing an outfit like hers!  Charlie of course was the cutest little leprechaun ever!

Claire, Allie and I all shared a shamrock shake on St. Patty's day!  It was pretty tasty actually, not as minty as I remember!

Charlie-7 months

My little dude!  He is definitely teething!  He enjoys playing with his toys and talking loudly to us!  He has started to wake up at nights again periodically.  He lights up when he sees us and his sisters and we love his big smile!  Note the drool!  :)

Variety show

Claire's group performed the song, "Has Anybody Seen Waldo?" so we had to get her a book to remember it!

 Where's Waldo anyway?  Claire was awesome in the performance.  She always does an exceptional job with the choreography!

 The kids get to have their make-up done and it's such a big deal!  Auntie Kristie was on the committee and did a great job on both girls!

 Allie wanted a snowflake and Elsa written on her face!  The siblings get special treatment too!

American Girl

 Claire borrowed a doll to have dinner with her.  I loved that she picked the one dressed in a Paris outfit!  I think Claire ate about as much as the doll :).

I stole these pictures from Kristie because I didn't bring my camera!  We had fun taking the train and the girls to the American Girl store for dinner to bring their dolls to the salon.  Maddie was the most excited for sure!  Claire preferred the dolls with dark hair, while Maddie liked the blondie's!

Little matching buddy!

Charlie sits up so nicely and loves to play with his toys in the basement.  

 Hello two bottom teeth!  He looks just like a doll here!

 Everything into the mouth these days!

Allie practicing for Preschool picture day!

Allie tried on at least six different dresses and just had to wear this fancy one!  

 We tried out different hair looks too!

 We liked the bow, but we were afraid it would fall out and may not get put back in in the right place!

 She loves dress fancy!  Claire told her that she would be the prettiest girls at her school, to which Allie replied, "I know!"

Valentine's weekend at the lakehouse

We were snowed in!  It was chilly, but we got outdoors for a little bit to sled!

 Rosy red cheeks!

 Nappie got special treatment and cuddled on the couch, which would never happen at home!

 Charlie got to hang with Pamma and Grandpa

 Dance party

Sweethearts! Happy Valentine's Day!

Sweet treats for these cuties! Cp

Claire has been wanting to wear her hair like Anna from Frozen!

Charlie looking so smooth on his first Valentine's Day!

My beautiful baby boy at 6 months!

My sweet little buddy!  He is such a sweet, happy and easy going little guy.  We are all so in love with our little Charlie!
