Emma was amazed to see Barbie soaring in the sky this afternoon! The Easter Bunny brought her a Barbie kite and we finally had a sunny windy day to try it out. The Silverdale Waterfront Park is a perfect place for kite flying, despite a few trees (which Barbie found her way into, but Chris came to the rescue).
Emma is now a Little Dipper at the Olympic Gymnastics Center. Her best buddy, Claire, invited her to try it out last week and she LOVED it! When I asked Emma if she wanted to go back this we she said, "Yes, but I need to wear a swimming suit like the other girls." So we outfitted her in a snazzy leotard and she is a running, jumping, front rolling fool now! I wish the zoom on our camera was a little better, but here are a few action shots...
Awww Emma, you can always make me laugh!
A family picture right after Mass
After church it was off to Easter brunch at the Warthen's house. Emma and Claire didn't really want to stop playing to pose for pictures and Camden was too busy checking out Nora (Claire's cousin).
The rainy weather moved our egg hunt to the basement, but the girls found oodles of eggs!
Camden's already showing off for the ladies. He is impressing Nora with his egg banging skills! His hands are moving so fast, they are a blur!
The sun came out on the way home, so we had to snap a few outside pictures.
We have a beautiful cherry blossom tree in our front yard which brings back fond memories of Japan! (Too bad Camden's eyes are closed)
Emma had an EGGcellent time at Helen and Grace's egg dying party today! After using the high tech egg dying tool for her first few eggs, Emma decided that reaching in the dye with her hands worked better. :)
After some egg salad sandwiches for lunch, it was time to do The Bunny Hop!
We kicked off the Easter weekend this afternoon at our neighborhood homeowners association's Easter egg hunt. Chris's programming mind was going wild as he sat back as a spectator-the wheels turning in his head the whole time. Afterall, he is the master of programming Easter egg hunts! Emma quickly filled her bunny basket with a load of eggs. Camden was content crawling over to one blue egg and entertaining himself with it.
Camden eventually discovered me taking pictures and had to come ham it up for the camera. ;)
Here are a few pictures of Miss Emma making cookies yesterday. She has been into Strawberry Shortcake lately and was so excited to make Gingersnaps since one of Strawberry's friends is Gingersnap. :)
so she was able to squeeze into it. I just had to put the Yoda ears on Camden (Emma was Yoda for her 1st Halloween). Too cute!
Emma's toothy grin has always cracked me up. While looking through some old pictures, my friend, Aimee, grabbed this one of me and said, "Now that is Emma's smile!" Sure enough when we compared these two pictures, the apple does not fall far from the tree. :)
