Easter Morning

Here are some pictures of the girls opening their Easter baskets and some others from church.





Mabry opening her Easter basket of lots of chocolate, pajamas and books.




Sydney opening her baskets.





Mabry snapped a pic of Mommy, Grams and Auntie H at church this morning. It was a little off center, but at least you can see all three of us!




Mabry and Cole in their Easter dresses.



Of course, Mabry also wanted a picture with Anna!

Easter Weekend continued

Here are some more pics from our busy weekend.



Grams and Sydney making Albert's birthday cake.



The best part of helping Grams bake... licking the beaters!!!




Mabry playing beauty shop with Auntie H's hair. Oh Auntie, you are a good sport by letting her make your hair so fuzzy!



Mabry holding one of Kate and John's Easter bunnies. She thought she was pretty hot stuff.



Sydney was okay to touch it but didn't care to hold it.




Sydney and Mabry watching Albert open gifts. It's hard to believe he is now a teenager!



Mommy, Grams and Mabry dyeing Easter eggs.



Sydney and Auntie H coloring Easter eggs.



Mabry and Mommy painted some glitter paint on some eggs. This was Mabry's favorite part!




Mabry with her "Hollywood" glasses on getting ready to go into the mall.

Easter Weekend

We had a fun Easter weekend. The girls and I had some guests come and see us: Grams, Albert and Auntie H came to visit us. Mommy was really excited since Daddy was out of town, she really like the extra sets of hands! We did lots of fun things while they were in town; we went shopping, made some crafts, baked a b-day cake for Albert, dyed Easter eggs and had lots of time spent playing.




Sydney showing off her smile, while saying "Cheez!"







Mabry holding up her picture frame she made with Grams.






Again, Sydney smilin' while riding home from shopping.






Mabry enjoyin' some strawberry shortcake!

Houston- Zoo

During our trip to Houston, we of course had to visit the zoo! Mabry and I did some research about the zoo before we left. We learned that they had a baby giraffe named Miles. So, Mabry was very excited about meeting him. The girls really enjoyed the zoo.





Introducing...Miles! He is only 6 feet tall.



This is his Mommy.






The girls also loved watching the elephants.





Sydney in her favorite place... Daddy's shoulders.






Mabry and Daddy checking out the leopards.




Sydney watching the tigers. I love this picture.




Mabry looking at her favorites... the flamingos. She was very excited that she could get so close to them.





Mommy and the girls. It was very humid so don't laugh at my hair!



Mabry and Sydney talking to each other about the zebras. I think these are Sydney's favorites because she kept saying "zega".



This picture melts my heart.

Houston- Airplane Ride

Last week we took off and went to Houston to see our friends, Ryan and Jenny. This was Mabry's first flight that she remembers. Sydney wasn't too sure about what was going on but had a good time with the whole airplane thing! The girls were absolutely perfect on the way to Houston. The flight home...well, Sydney was really busy! She kept jumping back and forth between Mommy and Daddy.





Sydney being silly on the way to the airport!





Mabry so excited to get on the plane!



The girls getting ready for take off.



Mabry giggling through the whole take-off. She thought it made her tummy feel funny.




Sydney being silly with Daddy's glasses. She thought she was hot stuff.
