Random silliness


These are my girls. Pretty much every day is filled with random silliness, but I love it. On Sunday afternoon, MJ came out of the bedroom wearing Josh's hat on her head, his socks on her hands and his shoes on her feet. I had to take a picture. That night we watched "The Game Plan" (A Disney movie about a football player who finds out his has an eight-year-old daughter). The girls were all snuggled together in the rocking chair. We would Emma where Mackenzie was and she'd lean over and give her a hug. I'm so glad they have each other. I hope they stay this close forever.

This afternoon, I had taken some pictures of Emma with the pretend kitchen, so Mackenzie thought she needed a little attention too. Here she is with her four-year-old antics. 

Bedtime Ballerinas


After bathtime the other night, MJ asked to put on her Belle dress. Then, she decided she just wanted the petticoat that goes underneath it. So, she dressed up; therefore, Emma wanted to put a dress on too. Mackenzie used the comb as a microphone, so Emma used the comb as a microphone, then started eating it. She also started dancing around. My silly girls; they make me smile.

More Easter pics














Here are some other Easter pics of the girls, our family and the Pinochle game we enjoyed on Sunday.

Hunting eggs


























I brought some plastic eggs to Jared and Stephanie's house for the girls to hunt. They both had fun running around the yard collecting their eggs. Emma really got into it, and was trying to steal her sister's eggs when they were finished. I think she's a little competitive! She would have stayed busy for hours picking up those eggs. 

Easter baskets


The girls woke up on Easter morning to find their Easter baskets filled on the table. They enjoyed their treats and having a piece of candy before we headed off to church.

Decorating eggs


The girls really enjoyed decorating eggs together. It's kind of become our Easter tradition to get together with my friend Lisa and Ellie and Madison. I realized Emma isn't quite old enough for this activity yet, but I helped her with one egg before she headed off for a nap. I should have clued in when Lisa left Austin home (he's Emma's age). She wanted to do it all by herself. Dip the egg, put her hand in the dye, hold the egg. Yikes! We made it real quick, snapped some pics, and off we went to bed. She wasn't too happy when I got the egg away from her. Okay, lesson learned. 

Mackenzie also found the dye with her hands. Lisa admitted it was under her watch, but luckily it all came off with some soap and a good scrubbing. 




Boots and toothbrushes


Emma is so funny these days. She always wants to go outside, and when she sees Mackenzie's boots, she wants to put them on. They are way too big though.

It's so fun to watch the girls together. Emma wants to be just like Mackenzie. She loves to brush her teeth too. They stand in the bathroom looking in the mirror. Then, they'll run into the living room to find their library books to read before prayers and bedtime.
