Easter

Easter weekend was a lot of fun. We had a big party at my Grandpa Wilson's house. There were so many people there. It snowed that morning, but my two cousins, Matt and Trevor shoveled the snow off the grass to we could have the egg hunt. 

All the great-grandkids before the hunt.

Lily hunting for eggs. She started to get the hang of it and liked putting the eggs in her bucket.

Because of the snow piles a little snowball fight happened after the egg hunt. We were about to take a picture, and my mom got hit. It was perfect timing. Rusty took the picture right as the snowball hit her.

My grandpa is selling his cows so there was no branding party in the morning, but Charlie branded these pieces of wood so we can all remember it!

The Easter bunny came and brought a few things to Claire and Lily. They were excited about new flip flops, stuffed animals, and chalk. Claire really wants to draw with the chalk, but it's been rainy.

Claire got some new underwear for Easter. She wanted to put a pair on that morning. She started to rub her bum and say how soft the underwear was. She kept rubbing it and thought it was hilarious.

My mom got Claire and Lily new Easter dresses. Claire called it her "Belle dress" since it is yellow. It is really hard to get a good picture of the two of them.

Claire was being goofy posing for pictures.

After church we went down to Jenn's house for a Mendenhall Easter party. Claire and Lily were lucky enough to have two egg hunts!

Winter 2016

Our winter has been a pretty good time. Here are some pictures from the last couple months. Sometimes Claire likes to help feed Lily. They both love it, but it can get messy. 

Claire started Primary this year. She loves it very much! She really likes going to class and singing time. Claire has great teachers. So far she's been able to give the prayer twice. She gets very excited when she has a reminder card that she gets to pray.

I like this picture of Lily sleeping because she has been teething lately and is sometimes so grouchy. But when I see this she looks so cute and peaceful. I'll try and remember the good times.

Lily loves to ride her elephant.

Claire and I built a snowman.

One day Rusty decided we should try and put Lily's hair in pigtails. They were so cute, but since then she got a hair cut so she can't have any pigtails anymore.

We celebrated Rusty and Jenn's birthday. They are birthday neighbors so they get to party together every year.

 

Happy 31st birthday Rusty!

Many nights when it is time to get pajamas on, Claire and Lily will run away as soon as their clothes come off. They think it's so funny to run away, and many times they will lay on their blankets and pillows and laugh.

Lily really has been loving to wear hats lately. She usually likes to wear them backwards.

This longboard was left at our house when we moved in. The girls like to sit on it and ride down the patio in our backyard. This day all three squeezed on and rode together.

On February 26th we went to the Provo City Center Temple open house. It was very beautiful inside. It ended up being a lovely day. We had a pizza party afterwards at our house.

Cute sisters!

One morning Claire came out of her room wearing her "glass slippers" with her pajamas. I thought it was a nice look.

Claire and Lily both had similar spring dresses one Sunday so I had us go outside and take some pictures.
