Life, Love and Laughter: November 2014

Soccer!

We signed Gracie up for Super Mod soccer this spring and she loves it! She is really coordinated and scores 4-5 goals per game. Her team, the Superheroes, were undefeated this season. She is also fearless taking on kids twice her size. and quite athletic. I have a feeling we are going to be spending a lot more time on the soccer pitch in the years to come. :)

First Tent

Gracie really loved the play tent at Nora's house so Nora let her borrow the tent. Yeah, more toys. We drug it home and set it up in the girls room. Grace wanted to sleep in it so I let her. I think she's a tad big for the princess tent. :)

Easter

Gracie loved Easter! The girls awoke to the Easter baskets left by the Easter Bunny. Gracie loved the toys and candy but was a little freaked out about the thought of a big bunny tip-toeing around in her room at night even if he did leave cool Easter baskets.

After checking out their Easter baskets, Hannah drug Gracie out to the front room and tried to explain what an Easter egg hunt was. Not having much luck, she settled for showing Gracie what she was talking about. Grace caught on super quick, then the race was on! Having a little sister made the egg hunt way more fun than just hunting eggs with Mom and Dad. :) It wasn't long before all the eggs were found and the girls were checking out what was inside the eggs.

Then it into their Easter dresses and off to Auntie Margie's for Easter dinner. We had dinner with Margie, Lee and Nora this year because when Daddy booked his trip to Scotland with Matt, he didn't know that he booked right over Easter weekend. :( The girls had a great time with more Easter baskets, another egg hunt and a wonderful dinner.

Thanks Margie for making Gracie's first Easter extra special!

Easter 2014

"Why you color Eggs Mom?"

We colored our Easter eggs this weekend. While Hannah was super excited to color eggs, Gracie was clearly confused. As we got everything ready she asked "Why you color eggs Mom?" We tried to explain that we were coloring the eggs to make them Easter eggs at which point she looked even more confused!

Once Hannah showed her how to dye an egg, she thought this new crazy activity might just be fun. She caught on quickly and made some great eggs. As I tried to capture her first Easter egg coloring, she couldn't resist hamming it up for the camera. She also had to do a little photo bombing too. :)

All in all, she loved dying Easter eggs but she was still confused that we couldn't just eat them all right away. When we told her that the Easter Bunny had to hide them on Easter, you should have seen her face - she was sure that this new family of hers was certifiably crazy!
