2013 Easter Egg Hunt

 We spent our Sunday afternoon at the Fairways annual Easter egg hunt. "A" loves the bunnies every year! 
 

"L" was not to sure of the bunnies and pigs and goats and chicks all running around. 
 

 Sweet Sisters! It was a little chilly with the wind and about 64 degrees. 

 "L" getting ready for the hunt and collecting her eggs. She picked a prize egg this year! Her prize was a pack of play dough. 

 "A" is a pro at this egg hunt thing after 7 years practice! 

 Checking out their loot. 
 

 A visit from the easter bunny! This year "L" was not scared of him

 "A" said she hoped the wind doesn't blow his head off!  Because you know there is a person inside of that costume! ;)
 

Love these 2 girls! 
 

Happy New Year!

The girls were in bed by 8 p.m. but still had their annual toast with apple cider this year! Both Brooks and I made it to midnight which was amazing! Happy New Year to all of our family and friends!

Holiday Fun!

 Fast Tony has been up to no good this year!  He is full of antics.  He keeps the girls on their toes.

 We took the girls to the Scottish Rite Theater to see Junie B Jones Jingle Bell Batman Smells. The play was super cute. The venue was great for the kids. "L" loved laying on the bean bags and made herself comfortable quickly. 

 Both girls were as good as gold.  They sat still for the entire performance without any bathroom breaks!  :)

 After the play we headed down to South Congress for some pizza at Home Slice.  Super yummy new york style pizza.

"L" loved her pizza and my slice even more.

 After pizza we strolled down So Co for some window shopping. 

 Cool wall, yet the girls would not cooperate at all.

 The Big Top Candy shop!  Yum...let's see what is inside.

 Just about every piece of candy that you could think of. Even chocolate covered BACON!

 Ice cream and homemade floats and sodas.

 Really cool rock candy.

 "L" bought some golden coin chocolates.  "A" and I picked out bubble gum and an assortment of different types of gummies. Gummy pigs, cows, strawberries....etc.

We are ready to eat our candy and head home!  Super fun trip downtown!

Christmas Program

Here is a video of "L's" Christmas Program. It's choppy and hard to follow, but alot of fun to watch.

Holiday Season!

 This has been a busy holiday season!  The girls went to a gingerbread house decorating party one weekend.  "L" was not as into it as "A" was.

 "A" had her first piano recital another weekend.  She was very nervous, but did well!

 "A" had a fun holiday party at her school today.  Here she is decorating cookies.

 Here she is making "Reindeer" food.  Oats, sugar sprinkles and glitter.

 Bean bag toss.

 Making a snowflake ornament.

 Class picture!

Piano Recital

Holiday Party

 Getting ready for our annual neighborhood holiday party! We love these!

 A little marshmallow roasting!

 "A" made a smore without the chocolate.  Not sure who this kid belongs to?  :)

 "L" was sweet enough to make me a smore with chocolate for her and me.  Yummy!

 A visitor!!!

 Both the girls loved telling Santa all that they wish for.

 Santa told them to put out extra cookies for him this year!

 Making some ornaments to hang on the tree.

"A" loves arts and crafts.

December

 Willow Grace is getting ready for Santa?  How about you?

 Even "Fast Tony" has a date this year!

 November 30th we went to the Georgetown Christmas Stroll. It was about 80 degrees outside at 7 p.m. The girls were good sports and had fun.

They were even able to decorate their own cupcakes.

And met a friendly elf on the street.

In Bethlehem,  "L" joined a group of musical entertainers and dancers on the street.  Only "L" would do this.

St. Helen's had a make your own holy family ornament that the girls enjoyed.

 The next morning, December 1st we headed into downtown Austin for the Chuy's children giving to children parade. The girls brought their unwrapped new gifts to donate to blue Santa at the end of the parade.

We had a blast. It was too hot for December. There are a lot more pictures, but I'm too tired to upload them all.  :)
