April pictures (Easter, Dad's Bday etc)

Since I have been bad about pictures lately, I snapped about a hundred in the last few days. I will spare sharing all of them, but I will show the best!

This month was kicked off by my dad's birthday on April 1. Since Libby is a little older, she helped with EVERYTHING. We made PawPaw a card, we wrapped his present, we made the cake (Libby ate the icing mostly). Libby loves birthdays and since we didn't have birthday hats, she made her own with the wrapping paper. It is self-adhering paper, so we made hats and bracelets. It was a really fun gathering. However, Libby refused to sing Happy Birthday until 2 days later and she got upset when PawPaw was taking the card home-must not have sunk in that we were making it FOR him.



We have also been trying some new foods lately. Joe had some egg yolks scrambled and Libby had a bowl of cheerios with milk in it. She was so proud of herself-she kept saying she was eating cereal like Mommy. Joe also is eating toast, pancakes and steamed veggies cut up. Libby LOVES PB and J roll-ups and pickles.

Easter was fun and hilarious as always. The kids got new outfits courtesy of their MeMe-who can't resist a party dress! Lucky for Joe she is also gaga over little boy clothes now too. So Libby and Joe put on their Sunday best and I snapped some shots of them. Then Sami woke up and we got some pictures of her too. It was the first holiday that Casey and I did not buy the girls matching outfits, but lo and behold Casey bought Sami a coordinating dress! The photo shoot did not go smoothly though. Neither child would smile at the same time. Then Sami kept trying to sleep. We tried getting them to kiss or hug, but the photos mostly look like Sami is attacking Libby. I kept taking pictures because they got funnier and funnier!

Easter also brought Easter baskets-or in this case Easter back packs. Gramma Candy filled each bag with fun goodies for the little kids. Libby loves it. Also in the realm of goodies was a tunnel for the kids to crawl through. It was a big hit with kids of all ages, including my brother Rob who got "stuck". Libby and Sami thought it was HILARIOUS!Just a pretty picture of Claire and Libby to end the very long post. Two of the prettiest girls in the whole world in my opinion!
