Belleville

We had a great time visiting Belleville!  We got to see the GG's, silly Uncle Chris and Ryan!  

 The girls couldn't wait to check the money tree!

 Charlie was so happy to be out of his car seat after the long drive!

 The girls counting their money tree treasures with GG!

 Charlie loves his GG Harold!

Easter Sunday!

This was taken on the eve of Easter.  The girls like to be silly together!

 My fancy girls loved wearing their bonnets and gloves!  Claire was not giving us a smile!

Mt. P Easter Egg hunt

 We headed to Mt. P for the third year in a row to attend the big egg hunt by Grammie and Papo's house.  It was really cold, but the sun was shining brightly!  It was just Gramme, me, and the kids this year as the rest of our usual crew was skiing!  We had a fun time and got there early, so the girls did the petting zoo and then were in second group for hunting eggs!

 Snuggled up and bundled boy!

 Getting ready to go for those eggs!

 Job well done!

 Chick-fil-a provided the food, free and tasty!

American girls galore!

Aunt Mary brought the girls over some very special things!  Her (and her sisters) AG doll collection and accessories are amazing!  Claire and Allie have been enjoying them and giving them a lot of love!  They love to dress the dolls up for special occasions and put them to bed every night.

Shedd Aquarium

 Getting ready to enjoy the aquatic show!

 It was so gorgeous that we had to explore outside too!

 These girls are the best of friends!
