April

This is a busy month for us . . . Jim's birthday, Easter, then Lena's birthday.  I haven't posted for a while and wanted to hurry and get up some pics for the few of you who pay attention!

We went to St. George for Easter and Jim's birthday.  Downtown St. George has some fun water features for kids to play in, and the girls had fun . . . ALL the girls, so it would seem.

Saturday morning we took the girls to the local park for the "easter egg" hunt.  I put that in quotation marks because there were not many eggs involved, mostly saltwater taffy thrown onto the grass.  But it was still fun.

Later we created our own Easter Egg Hunt with plastic eggs filled with goodies for Michelle, Lena and Cousin Morgan.  That was MORE fun.  Here they are going through the loot! This picture made me think of them all playing poker.

Saturday night, of course, we died Easter Eggs, and what kid doesn't LOVE that?

Yes, Travis was there, but he never puts a shirt on, so I guess you get one without!

Easter morning the girls found their Easter "baskets" (we use hats and purses) filled with a few treats, clothes, hair things and toys.  They also had to find Easter Eggs the Easter Bunny hid!

They were ADORABLE in their Easter dresses with their hats and purses.  My mom got WAY BETTER pictures, but I don't have copies of those yet.

Trevor and the kids got into an Ultimate Pillow Fight.  It was really crazy fun!

A couple weeks later it is Lena's birthday!  Grandpa and Grandma Thompson came up for the party, which we enjoyed in the backyard, the day before her actual birthday.

For her actual birthday, we took her out for ice cream at Arctic Circle and let her play on the toys!

These pictures are obviously not from sunny April.  This is an earlier trip to Steilacoom, and we took the girls down to ride the ferry.  They were so cute in these hats they got for Christmas from Grandpa Jackson I had to post these pictures!
