Visiting

After church we went Great-grandpa and grandma's house for brunch. Zoe played with the Christmas skater music box and Annie played with Great-grandpa. A good time was had by all.

Annie and Tim

Annie and Tim smiling pretty for the camera. They were waiting for Zoe and Granny Smith to get ready for church on Easter Sunday. Zoe declined to have her picture taken.

Easter egg stuff

The girls went on 4 Easter egg hunts over the Easter weekend. These are some pictures of the first one which featured not only egg hunting but pony rides and a hay ride. The pony ride was the favorite activity. Annie's pony is called Pongo, like the dad dog in 101 Dalmations. I don't know what Zoe's pony was called but she had fun with her nameless pony. We don't have pictures of the other hunts because it was only Annie and Zoe involved and we had to make sure Annie got a fair chance at some eggs, so no pictures. Also, the girls dyed some real eggs with Granny Smith.

helpers

Zoe and Annie helped to clean up the yard. Many branches fell off the pine trees during an ice storm a few weeks ago. At first they were helping by picking up pine cones but then started planting them in the yard again. I guess they think we don't have enough trees for Daddy to cut down. Also, I think they were trying to lasso a passing crow with their wild throws of the tie-downs.

Can't catch me

Annie's favorite book lately is The Gingerbread Girl. So, of course, we have to make gingerbread people. Fortunately for us none of them ran away, except for the dough Annie dropped under the chair. She wanted to beat Lily to it.

hmmm

Is Little Boy trying it on or trying to convince me he's looking for one of his toys in there?
