Oh My Goodness, Our House is REALLY Fancy!

The girls and I finally got around to decorating for Easter today. After they got up from their naps this afternoon, we went outside to hang Easter eggs on the bushes in the front yard. (Special thanks to Mom for giving us all her Easter eggs - they had a blast!) Abby was pretty excited, and she wasted no time teaching Gingham how to hang an egg on a branch so that they could do it together.

Nora had less interest in hanging the eggs and more interest in the box. She pushed it up and down the sidewalk for awhile, and eventually decided to sit with it on the steps.

When we finished, Abby stepped back to admire her handiwork and told me, "Oh my goodness, our house is REALLY fancy!"

A Pink Tricycle

Three years ago today Abby joined our little family. It's hard to believe how much she's changed, even in the last year - time flys.

Abby had a great birthday, filled with her favorite activities. We started off the day with a new spring dress.

For dinner we had Pesto Cavatappi, one of Abby's favorites, and another giant Elmo cake at Abby's request.

Afterwards, we gave Abby some more clothes. The last few weeks Abby's been trying to ask us for a tricycle. She doesn't really know how to ask for it per se, she just tells us stories about how, "Someday I'll have a pink tricycle, with a pink helment, and pink streamers and it will be so fun to ride ... maybe when I'm three." We decided to grant her request (Dad says she's such a stereotypical girl).

All in all, it was a great birthday.
