Bluebonnets

Can you tell that O and C are recovering from haircuts they gave themselves about a month ago?

Sweet Sisters!

Happy Easter!

We have enjoyed a great weekend. The girls were beautiful in their Easter finery. We hunted eggs, ate candy, dyed eggs, ate candy, went to church and ate more candy. The girls have been playing with the treats found in their Easter baskets all afternoon. Next year the Easter Bunny better bring new toothbrushes!

After church, the girls found all of the eggs the Easter Bunny left in the backyard. The piggy banks were all out because the eggs were filled with a coin.





This morning the girls found their Easter baskets filled with goodies!


On Saturday, we enjoyed our annual outing to the big egg hunt held at C's school. There were over 13,000 eggs to be found. My girls walked away with their fair share!

Happy Birthday to Me!

What a way to celebrate my 43rd birthday! We got out of school early and I spent the afternoon playing in the snow with my girls!

Let it Snow!

Well, we did get a bit of wintery mix and the girls took the opportunity to escape the house to catch a few of the snowflakes even though we had already put on our warm matching snowman pajamas! We followed up the outing with some hot chocolate. School starts 2 hours late. Does it get any better!?

Happy Birthday!

When we went to China to get O, most of the babies in our adoption group had recently turned one. Of course we parents missed that special occasion, so we had a group "First Birthday" Party in the hotel restaurant in Wuhan. As you can tell, O really enjoyed herself! ;-)



Tonight we celebrated O's 7th birthday at Olive Garden. She was speechless when the waiters came out with a cake and sang to her! She had a wonderful day beginning with gifts this morning. She sure has come a long way in 6 years!




Earlier this week, O celebrated her birthday with her friends from school at a local establishment that is filled with bouncy houses and inflatable slides. She had a great time.

Disneyworld

After a rocky start (being iced in at the DFW airport and having to spend the night sleeping at the airport), we had a wonderful vacation. The weather in Florida was colder than expected and the parks were crowded, but they were decorated beautifully. The girls enjoyed meeting all of their favorite characters.









C was dressed as her favorite: Minnie Mouse.



E and O had a great time at the Bippity Boppity Boutique where they had a make over complete with a sprinkling of pixie dust before we headed into the castle to have lunch with Cinderella.
