Happy Easter!

Happy Easter to everyone! We hope you had a very happy holiday, and enjoy the few pictures that mommy was able to capture… We were NOT up for being photographed this time, and she wasn’t feeling much like doing it, but she still managed to get a few cute shots!

We had a great time at Nannie & Opa’s house… especially when we got to decorate eggs!

The Easter bunny even managed to find us all the way at their house, and left us some awesome goodies!

Emily’s favorite gift was her Dora sunglasses, and Abby’s was her very own strand of pearls that she had been asking for forever!

Emily kept sneaking more peeps when we weren’t looking…

We even got to have an awesome Easter egg hunt outside when daddy’s cousins came for dinner! We did GREAT this year, and Emily never even noticed that mommy kept rehiding her eggs to find again. She LOVED finding them!

My first day of soccer

I started my first outdoor soccer class today, and although I’m still a little under the weather, I had a pretty good time. Well, the first half hour was pretty fun, but as soon as we broke into teams and had to “play” soccer, I decided it’s not really my thing. I’ll keep trying though & see if I like it more next time! I was actually pretty good!

Emily enjoyed sitting on the sidelines in her princess chair, eating goldfish with her best friend, Eli…

The best part of the day was spending it with my goofy friends!

Friends are the best!

I’ve been home sick this week from school with a fever and a bad cold, and my friends are the best! They made me a beautiful card FULL of cool stickers, and picked some lovely flowers  to cheer me up! One of my friends even brought me my “homework”  home to work on! I can’t wait to thank everyone when I go back next week!

Emily’s Toy Story Birthday Party!

Today’s the day! We FINALLY got to have my Toy Story birthday party! We had so much fun dressing up as cowboys and cowgirls (I got to be Jessie from the movie), playing Toy Story games, coloring HUGE Toy Story pictures and even eating a fully themed Toy Story meal! I’m not sure who had more fun… me, or mommy as she was planning it all! Thanks for an awesome day everyone… I had a blast!
