Cookies on the Deck

When Sue and Larry came out for their ski trip in March, Sue brought homemade sugar cookies. The kids LOVE them. They live in our freezer, and only come out for very special occasions. On Monday evening after the zoo, Chris took Emily sock and shoe shopping, in hopes of finding socks and shoes she would be willing to wear. I knew they were going to get some sort os special treat, so I brought Addie and Elizabeth out to the back deck and gave them each a CeeCee cookie. They were so excited!




Did you know there's a certain order in which a sugar cookie should be eaten? First you take off all the toppings!



A neighbor gave Elizabeth this big kid bike last summer. It lives on our back deck, and sometimes she climbs up on it and pretends to ride. She's so excited to be a big kid!

This was our cookie-eating view. Not bad! :)

Spring Break! Zoo

We got to celebrate spring break last week, and even though we had to wait really long as ours didn't start until April, it was worth the wait because we were blessed with gorgeous spring weather.

We started the week off with a trip to the zoo with our friends Jennica, Kaia and Kastor. The sky was blue, the sun was shining, and the temperature was absolutely perfect. We had a great time with our friends!

Elizabeth and Addison look for monkeys on the island

Hi Little Guy!

Kaia and Addie rode the carrousel together



Lunch Time! Eating with friends is so much fun!

Kastor had a couple of good helpers keeping him on the path

Kaia's looking for flamingos

The Lorikeet Adventure! Jenn fed nectar to her first Lorikeet!

Kastor was super brave and wanted to get in on the feeding right away

Hugs!

Of course we needed to visit the flamingos, since they're a current favorite. They were still in their indoor habitat.

One, two, three, weeeee!

It's Spring!!

Sweet girl!

Hard to believe I've known this girl for 18 years!

Addison was super sweet and offered to share her ice cream with Emily

Who's that cute girl?

Elizabeth was kind and shared with both her sisters!

Addie brought Sparkle Baby to the zoo, and found a little spot in a cave and then asked to take Sparkle's picture. :)
What a fun day!
