EASTER 2009

I am very late at getting our Easter pictures posted this year. We had a great Easter but were hit Easter Monday with some kind of stomach bug. Poor Avery got it first, then me and then it was Olivia's turn. The only one spared from it was Brian. And he's lucky because this bug was not nice.

Saturday night we got all ready for the Easter bunny by putting out some carrots and a glass of water for him. The girl's thought he might need a snack since he had so many kids in the world to deliver all the yummy chocolates to.

Easter morning seemed as if we woke up it it was over. It was a completely different experience this year than last. The girls were running around the house so fast that I didn't have enough time to take many pictures of them during their egg hunt. Before I knew it it was over!Showing off all their goodies. The Easter bunny also brought them some new Barbies for the bath. Barbie is a huge hit in our house right now. We had Easter dinner at our house this year. The girls were even excited about that! They are at such a great age right now, understanding more and more how each holiday works.

They love spending time with their cousins and always play so nice together.

After dinner Grandpa spent some time with the girls teaching them how to hit a golf ball. I think we may just have to get them a golf club each to keep practising with, and hope that our backyard survives the divots!

HAPPY EASTER!!!

We hope everyone had a great Easter. This year Brian & I had an absolute blast getting the girl's Easter bags ready, and hiding all the Easter eggs for them. We decided to keep the eggs at eye level because although we knew the girl's were excited for the egg hunt, we didn't know whether or not if they would look under things for their eggs from the Easter bunny. Of course we were wrong! As soon as they saw their baskets and the eggs that were left on the stairs, they were off!! Especially Olivia, she was looking everywhere for Easter eggs. Under cushions, behind doors. We now know that we will have to get a little more creative for next year.Here they are showing off all their Easter goodies After the Easter egg hunt was over we all got ready to head over to Baka & Dida's house for Easter dinner and of course another egg hunt.

I was only able to get Avery in a picture with her Easter dress on because Olivia was just not co-operating with me on having to wear a dress. She actually threw a tantrum and the went to hide behind her slide and would not come out. After a little bribing on my part, she finally agreed to come out. The deal was that as soon as we got to Baka's house she could take her dress off. It worked but she still refused to take a picture.

As you can see by the time we got to Baka's house, the next Easter egg hunt was on as soon as we walked through the door, and she forgot all about the deal we had made at home about her dress.Not only did the Easter bunny bring chocolate eggs to Baka's house, he also brought some new princess dresses.

Lately the girl's LOVE to dress up. Every morning after breakfast we come up stairs put in a CD and dance around for about an hour. Before I start the music they have to be dressed up from head to toe in what they call their "wedding dresses". Especially Avery. She is obsessed with anything that has to do with a princess, ballet, Barbie, dancing, and singing. A true little girl.

Olivia enjoys getting dressed up too but not as much as Avery. She will at least dance to the music in whatever she is wearing, while Avery on the other hand will make me stop the music until she feels she has enough of my clothes on her to dance around in. The real funny part about her having this fascination is that even when the music stops she still continues to wear all these clothes around the house for the entire day!
