Happy Easter!

We had a wonderful Easter here in Peoria.  The girls were able to color eggs, go on an egg hunt, and they both got baskets from the Easter bunny!  We celebrated Easter with our good friends, Kristen and Jeremy, and their kids, Bella and Kellen.  It was a great day!

 Opening Easter baskets

 Bella loved playing with Lorelai

 Bella (1 1/2), Lorelai (8 1/2 months), Olivia (3 1/2), and Kellen (5 months)

Easter Fun!

 Getting ready to dye easter eggs

 She colored this picture for the Easter Bunny---it was the inside of the card she got from Gam

 Our makeshift egg hunt inside the house---what wonderful weather we are having!! :(

 Lorelai found one on her highchair

 The bear was even hiding one between his paws!!

 Yum!!

Looking at all of her candy

Lorelai is 8 Months!

 She has learned to clap her hands....this is what it looks like:)

She also loves the princess microphone....anything to put in her mouth really!


Lorelai is doing very well!!  She is about 23 lbs. (we found that out when we had to take her to the doctor for her first ear infection).  She has learned to clap at Deb's and loves to do circle time with the kids.  She is a busy-body and loves to watch all the other kids and see what's going on.  She hasn't learned to crawl yet, but she seems very close.  For now, she's just doing a lot of scooting and sitting.  She got 1 tooth (on the bottom) last week---which Tim says explains all the crabbiness!! 

Finally Some Updates!!

 Me and my girls:)
