Easter and 4th Birthdays!

We started the weekend with an Easter Egg Hunt early Saturday afternoon. The Easter Egg hunt was put on by our church, and Danica was their organizer. Anneliese and Alexa had a lot of fun gathering their share of the 40,000 eggs laid out on the field.



Here is Danica, having to tell the crowd that the helicopter would not be dropping eggs this year because of high winds. The hunt was still fun with out it. The eggs were scooped up by the children in about 90 seconds. It was quite the site.



Later that afternoon, we held a small birthday party for Alexa and Anneliese. They turned 4 years old on Easter Sunday. Every young girl needs to play "Pin the Tail on the Donkey" on their birthday. It was impressive at how well all the kids did. Or maybe we needed a better blindfold!





The theme of the party was Princesses and Horseys. We made two cakes, one gluten free, and one not. This was also convenient, because one cake had horses on top for Alexa, and one cake had a Princess crown for Anneliese. All the kids dressed for the party in either princess or cowboy costumes.

Danica and I gave the girls their first bicycles for their birthdays.





It is amazing at how much the girls have changed and grown in two years. If you look back at the pictures from their birthday party in 2008, you'll see how remarkable the change has been. It has been a great year, and we look forward to seeing Anneliese and Alexa blossom into little girls this year. Their toddler years are almost over.

I'm working on a new morph video of the girls. Look for it soon.
