Easter break


Look at the girls in their pretty Easter dresses!  They love to stand in one spot and wait while you say 'ready, set, go!' and then they run to you.  I finally realized that I can use it to get them together to take a picture.  I know the ground is so tilted, but Samantha looks so much taller than Catherine.



One of Catherine's newest skills is smiling when you ask her.  Sometimes she has such a pretty smile, and sometimes she does the typical 'all teeth eyes closed' smile.  We think it is adorable any way.  Samantha is wearing a bathing suit that I just loved and couldn't resist buying, but we need it in a bigger size to get her through the summer.  I need to find it because I love how she looks like one of those synchronized swimmers from the old movies. 



After the girls behaved very well at Easter Sunday mass (we were so proud, it was one of their best ones yet) we hunted for eggs at Nana's house.  Both girls walked around with their buckets putting in eggs they found.  Heidi helped, and then they were easily distracted by balls and our running game.






They put their buckets on their heads, ran around, and had a great time.  Catherine decided to take both buckets around for a while.  When she did carry one bucket she walked around with it on her elbow like a little old lady and her purse.  Then they brought all their eggs to show Daddy.







We ended break with my birthday which included a girls day at the mall, a hockey game (the girls did great with their sitter!), brunch at Guglhupf (so yummy!), time at the park, and Carvel birthday cake.  There was blue icing everywhere, but it was awesome.  We also had our 2 year doctor appointment.  Catherine is 19 lbs 14 oz and 30.5 inches tall.  Samantha is 25 lbs 13 oz and 32 inches tall.  We think she is a little taller than that though.
