Mother's Day and Macy's 1st haircut

We had such a nice Mother's Day! 

I am so lucky to have these 2 super-sweet, loving, fun and silly girls in my life!

In other news, Macy got her 1st haircut!  She did such a great job sitting still (honestly, I was a bit nervous)!

Mom's artistic photography, I call it "Macy with Macy reflection in mirror."  It's too cute though, right?

Here's the finished product!  She looks thrilled, doesn't she!

Actually she was pretty excited about the whole process.  She kept saying, "My turn?!"  She usually has to just watch her big sister get to do all the fun things.  But, the hair looks adorable and she's ready for her big 2nd Birthday party this weekend!

Mom's Day at Anabelle's Preschool

This past week I got to go to school with Anabelle for a fun-filled Mom's Day!  The kids had worked so hard on making so many special treats for us and then even sang some songs for us, one of which made me cry ... You are my Sunshine!










Anabelle and her best friend, Jenna

I was so proud of my little girl.  She sang all the songs and was absolutely the cutest kid up there!

Then we went outside and released some butterflies that they've raised since they were caterpillars.  When her teacher said they came out of a cocoon, Anabelle immediately corrected her and said it was actually a chrysalis!  That's my girl. :)

It's been awhile

Sorry it's been so long since we've updated!  Things have been good.  Here's a quick recap of the month of 

April - 

Easter Family Photo

 

We went for an overnight stay at Mohican Lodge ... they had a pool which was a total highlight for the girls.

 New Game: Daddy Potato Head

Anabelle started soccer practice!  (Of course in a princess shirt.  It was either that or a pretty dress.)

 

Macy is one silly girl!  She'll be 2 in 2 weeks, but she thinks she 6!

Silly sisters

The girls are becoming the best of friends. They love to play together (but don't get me wrong, there's plenty of arguing too)!
Here they are doing who-knows-what in the laundry basket:

Cooking with Paula Dean:

And getting excited for Easter:

Sweet girls! They miss you all. :)

Hello Spring?

Are you really here, Spring?!

Today was a nice, warm, sunny day and we took full advantage of it! We played outside all morning before Anabelle had to go to school.

The girls were so excited to see that some of their flowers are already blooming!

I'm sure we'll still get some cold days but it sure was fun to have a little taste of spring-time!

Aunt Colleen and Tim visit

What a fun weekend we had ... Aunt Colleen and Tim drove up on Thursday evening to come play! Friday, while mom and dad were at work, they did crafts galore and made yummy cupcakes. The girls were in heaven! This picture truly is worth a thousand words:

We decided to test our skills at bowling on Saturday morning.

Anabelle did a victory dance after every pin she knocked down.

Even Macy tested out her skills.

Then it was time to head to the ice rink and lace up the skates!

Anabelle loved it so much, she cried when it was time to leave.

Although she was wobbly, Anabelle had to skate on 1 leg! Just like the fancy skaters on tv!

After a busy, activity-filled day it was time to sit back, relax and watch a Disney movie (or just watch Tim, he's pretty interesting, too)!

Thanks for coming to visit, Aunt Colleen and Tim. We love you!!
