Elmo Show!!!

So, about a year ago, Emily and Addison fell in love with Elmo. They watch Sesame Street most mornings, and Elmo is by far their favorite character. When my mom's work was offering discount tickets to Sesame Street Live: Elmo Makes Music, she snatched up tickets for Callie, Annalea, Addison, Emily,  Britney and me.

Here are some HAPPY girls before the show...

We were in the front stage, pretty close to the stage!

The show's about to start!

 

With intermission came perhaps the best part of the show...COTTON CANDY!

 

 

 

Thanks for taking us to the show, DeeDee! We had a blast!

Callie's Four and Anno's One!

Happy Birthday Callie and Annalea!

 

Parties at Uncle Dylan and Aunt Britney's are always a blast, and this time, the theme was an unslumber party, so we had breakfast treats and wore pajamas. Emily and Addison discovered the old jeep in Uncle Dylan's shop, and had a great time pretending they were 16.

 

 

 

 Elizabeth had a great time being her sweet self and bringing smiles to many faces.

 

Easter 2013

We had a great Easter celebration this year at Uncle Bob and Aunt Marsha's house.

 

 

This shot of Chris reminded me of the picture of him and Emily on Easter 2011

Great Grandma and Emily share a special moment

After two egg hunts, the girls knew what to expect, and when we headed outside at Uncle Bob's for the hunt, the excitement was buzzing in the air!

 

There were lots of eggs hidden along this fence, and Addie ran down the length of the fence saying "bag bag bag" as she collected her eggs

 

Emily and Luca

Dee Dee and Great Grandma watch as Callie and Addie head for the same egg

Annalea and Dee Dee watching the fun

Bodhi was moving quite swiftly

Cousins!

Annalea loves the baby!

Elizabeth was looking quite cute

 

Me and My Girls

 

We started gathering great grandkids around Grandma

We were successful in getting all the girls around her, but Luca and Bodhi were ready to call it a day and needed to be by their mamas

Ending the day with a little music, what fun!

Coloring Eggs with Cousins

All four girls give Aunt Britney their undivided attention as she explains how we'll be dying eggs. Yes, there will be Cool Whip, and yes, it's okay to eat it.

 

Callie's a pro at this egg dying thing

Addison starts out a bit cautiously

Dee Dee kept the colors flowing

Emily went immediately for a taste test

Annalea starts off with a little orange

And then decides it's best to get her face right down in that whip cream

Addie's getting her color scheme just right

Annalea, you have a little something on your nose

Emily's neat side gets the best of her and she requests a rag (rak!) so she can "keen"

More Visitors!

Elizabeth is one popular little lady. We stayed in the hospital for 3 days and each day she had new people coming to see her!

After her big sisters paid a visit, Elizabeth got a visit from her great grandparents and Grandpa John.

 

 

 

 

 

 Elizabeth also got some more time with Dee Dee.

Then Uncle Dylan came back and brought his family along for a visit. Elizabeth got to meet her cousins Callie and Annalea and her Aunt Britney!

Callie gave Elizabeth her stuffed fox as a welcome to the world present!

Cee Cee and Pop Pop also came by for another visit.
