Smiles


As the kids get older, they don't seem to change in how they look as much.  However, the last 2 weeks have brought big changes to their smiles!
Doesn't she look cute?!!

Owen is doing great with braces on his top 4 teeth!

Audrey's smile isn't different, just still adorable.  She wishes she could have braces or a wiggly tooth but I'm glad to still have her with all of her baby teeth!!

Easter Weekend

We had a beautiful, warm Easter weekend this year so much of the time was spent outside!

The girls had fun decorating eggs with me!

I made this chocolate torte for Easter dinner dessert- Mom, the peeps worked great around the outside.  Thanks for the idea!!

Owen felt he was too old to decorate eggs this year, but he is not too old to have fun on this tractor at Grammy and Grandpa's house!

The kids had fun searching for eggs in Grammy and Grandpa's yard!

I know this probably hurts your eyes to look at, but I had to put it in here because this definitely captures the mood Elaina was in as she was searching for her eggs from the Easter Bunny on Easter morning!




We enjoyed visiting Grammy and Grandpa's church this Easter.

Spring

I love winter, but it has been a long one.  Nana and Papa were visiting this weekend so we decided to head to Phipps and catch the colors and smells of Spring there.  Have I said before how much I LOVE this place?!

It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas!

We had fun getting in the Christmas Spirit this weekend!
Cousins met us at our favorite tree farm to find their perfect tree too!

Found it!!



The girls especially loved seeing the gingerbread houses on display downtown.

Hundreds and hundreds of them... so creative!

The Winter Garden at Phipps.

I had no idea it was going to be so decorated for Christmas- this is my new favorite place to visit in Pittsburgh in December!!

This cactus was HUGE!

This tree has lighted butterflies all over it and was in the water so there was a perfect reflection in front.

All 5 of us enjoyed this night at Phipps Conservatory- the pictures don't even come close to capturing how beautiful it was.
