Happy Easter!

We had a great Easter Sunday. Sophie is teething, so we were awake and ready to go to early mass today. The girls loved the goodies that the Easter Bunny left in their baskets.
Lillie has been making up her own songs. The most memorable ones is "Easter eggs, Easter eggs, Easter eggs" to the tune of "Jingle bells."

No, she isn't sleeping.

No, Sophie did not fall asleep on the floor. She is throwing a temper tantrum. If we tell her "no", she starts to cry and lays down on the floor. She is testing us and trying to control her feeding too. She is refusing to eat baby food and wants to feed herself. Her favorite food is Cheese or "chee" as Sophie says it. Sophie is pushing a shopping cart around the house and last week, she stopped at the refrigerator picked out a couple of magnets and dropped them into the shopping cart. Last week, Lillie's Preschool teacher asked her, "Where did you go on vacation?" Lillie replied, "I went to visit a few of my Disney friends." Later, that afternoon Lillie was playing in her room. I noticed that it was quite and she didn't answer my calls. She had crawled into her bed and fell asleep. She woke up a couple of hours later with a fever. We knew that something was up, because she has never crawled into her bed without us telling her that it was time for bed. She has not taken a nap in her bed in almost 2 years. Lillie colored the following gecko at the Library on Friday. It took her over 20 minutes to color it in, because it was the first project that she stayed inside the lines on. She also cut out the tail and glued it on by herself.

Mickey and Shamu

It was very difficult to choose a picture for our week in Florida. We took a lot of pictures and made a lot of memories with the girls. Lillie met almost every character at Disney world. Sophie was entranced by the characters, but she did not like the characters in the full costume. They scared her. When we visited the Castle Couture shop (Princess shop), Lillie had Pixie dust sprinkled on her. Brian said "You have fairy dust in your hair." Lillie responed, "it's pixie dust, not fairy dust." Another memory that we will not forget was when we watched Lillie dancing to the music during the fireworks show. Lillie still chants "Shamu, Shamu" like they did at the Shamu show at Sea World.
