Happy Easter!

Here are some pictures of our family on this beautiful, warm Easter Sunday.  I thought it would be nice to include a little about what we are thinking about on this holiday:

It Arrived Today

It arrived via a large truck in half a dozen large boxes, the latest addition to our family… A bunk bed for Emma and Hannah to share.  Sabrina will now get the blue bear bed that all four of our kids have used as toddlers, and Hunter will continue to plead with us to get him a loft bed. Guess you know what Rob will be doing tomorrow…

My Movie Debut

httpvh://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZgwKueCWxc

I have been jealous of all the great videos I see on people’s blogs, and decided it was finally time to give it a try. This was my first attempt at editing some video I found from a while ago. The music is what Uncle Matt wrote for Emma’s talent show song last year.

Baby Girls

Hannah has mastered the mouse and loves to play Holly Hobbie and Polly Pocket games on the computer. She also likes Caillou although we never watch the show on TV because the kid is so whiny it drives me nuts!

Sabrina is content for now watching Hannah play. Having just one computer in the house has become a bit of an issue. So many people use it now. We may need to make a sign-up sheet so that everyone gets a turn.

 

Can you get any cuter than Sabrina taking her “Baby Pupul” for a ride on the horsie. She yells, “Wee… Ha!”

Christmas Exchange

I never really heard what anyone else got for the Christmas sibling exchanges. (Except that Heidi made Holly a Cheese Sandwich Quilt, awesome!) So here are the two we were involved in:

From Mark, Mel & Welly (limit $20.00, I think they cheated)

We all stayed up on new Years Eve competing for the highest scores on every game!

 

Emma has all of her suncatcher creations hanging on our atrium window. She loved it!

 

Hannah thinks the pink ballerina Barbie is great fun!

 

Sabrina doesn’t seem excited here, but she thinks that a pony that “smell lie soda” is the best!

 

Mmmm truffles, I should be the new spokesmodel!

 

Beef Jerky- always so popular! That and summer sausage…

 

We’ve already played Simpsons Clue twice and it’s so much fun!

 

From Erica, Jed, Owen, Davis & Kate (limit: $15.00, theme: music)

A Jingle Bells Book. The perfect read for Christmas!

 

We all loved the Kidz Bop Christmas collection!

 

Lots of music for the kids, and some from my past too!

 

Thanks To Everyone That Gave us Gifts or Holiday Cards!

We are so grateful to have such thoughtful family and friends.
