Happy Easter!

We had a great time celebrating Easter. Ellie has been wanting to dye the eggs for about 2 weeks, and has been asking everyday if it was the day we got to do it. She was thrilled on Saturday when I finally said yes.

Beautiful eggs!

Look at Ellie's excitement. She told me that Easter is her favorite holiday.

Cassidy was into finding eggs too. She was more

interested in the plastic containers than the candy.

Mason is getting pretty fast at finding those eggs.

Cassidy and Daddy playing with her new pinwheel.

Beautiful sisters

Ellie's new dress (which twirls really well).

Buddies!

We had Geoff, Erin and cousin Cora come over for dinner.

Ellie and Mason love baby Cora!!!!

(Cameron and Brittany were going to come, but Cade got sick. We missed having them!)

Mason loves holding Cora.

Cassidy thought Cora was pretty interesting. She's sticking out her tongue, because she was copying what Cora was doing. She thought it was pretty funny!

The girls

Cassidy was pretty excited about her findings!

We were lucky to have Uncle Eric spend a few days with us last week. Mason and Ellie couldn't have been more excited. Before Eric got here, Mason told me that he was more excited for Eric to be here than for Christmas! Mason and Ellie kept him busy playing pretty much the whole time. It took Cassidy a couple of days to warm up, but after a few rounds of peek-a-boo with Eric, she decided he was safe and let him hold her. We had a lot of fun with Eric. Five minutes after he left, Mason said to me, "I feel empty inside." We all felt a little empty when Eric left. We can't wait to see him again!

Eric's birthday was the following week,

so we decided to make him cupcakes!

Eric got to watch one of Mason's soccer games.

I like this picture. Cassidy was ready to run out on the field to join them.

Just a funny picture I liked.

April?

Cassidy is walking everywhere!

Cassidy has been able to take steps for awhile now, but it was this week that she decided to really take off. She walks everywhere! She definitely prefers it to crawling these days.

Watch and see how good she is!
