Easter Egg Hunt

Our neighbors Dwaine and Don are always so kind to the girls. They generally spoil them but they went all out for Easter even by their standards! They brought the girls each an easter basket filled with fun things like sidewalk chalk, bubbles, stuffed bunnies and treats and then provided an egg hunt for them in the courtyard. They even assigned the girls each a color so they would each find the same number of eggs! The girls had a fabulous time.

Ice Skating Christmas Eve

We had a great time ice skating on Christmas Eve. A new tradition perhaps? Photo cred to my dad and a special thank you to my mom for staying home with Freya.

The Georgetown Loop

The day after Thanksgiving we went to Georgetown to ride the train on the old mine loop. We had hot chocolate and cookies while we waited for our train. Once on the train we were treated to a visit from Santa Claus who gave each of the girls a silver bell and then we were served refreshments just like on the polar express.
