Grandma P came for a visit last weekend.  We had lots of outside playtime, went for ice cream, took the girls for tea and cupcakes, went to church, and had a movie night.  Fun weekend.

Our Easter weekend was spent with loved ones- David's family on Saturday (dying eggs, grilling, and playing outside), and Aunt Steph, Grandma, and Grandpa the whole weekend.  Easter morning before church we hunted for eggs the Easter bunny hid around the house, and then we munched on candy from our baskets.

Here is our last month in a nutshell...
 M and L have been saving their money, and they each bought a new baby princess.
 Our new favorite sweet treat spot is Yogeez here in New Albany- tons of frozen yogurt flavors and every topping you could imagine.
 Somebody figured out how to take her clothes and diaper off.
We had a fun trip to the bounce house.  This was Jolie's first time.  With the help of her sisters, she had it all figured out in no time.

 Some snuggles with dad...
 A little dress up at the neighbors...


 Movie night with Grandma P...
 An awesome trip to Great Wolf Lodge...
 BONUS! We got to see David and his family.



 It is usual for Lena to be brave and want to try new physical activities, but it usually isn't Maddie's preference to step out of her comfort zone.  However, on this trip, she was super brave!  She tried all the rides and slides that she was big enough to go on.  I'm pretty sure Jolie would have too, but there was plenty to keep her busy. 


 Loving the library...

Happy Easter!  Maybe next year Jolie won't be terrified of the Easter Bunny, and she'll want to sit on his lap rather than digging her nails into my back and screaming her head off.
