Happy Easter!

He is Risen! He is Risen! That's definitely something to celebrate! We participated in a lot of Easter traditions this weekend and the girls had a lot of fun! We had fabulous weather, too!

This morning the girls discovered the gifts the Easter Bunny left for them. The Bunny hid everyone's baskets in the house. We were on a wild goose chase this morning trying to find all four of them.


In the last few weeks, Gabby's favorite hangout has been underneath the dining room table. Coincidentally, that's where the Easter Bunny left her baskets!


She loved it!


Gabby helped Adriana find her baskets under her jumperoo.



Enjoying all of the candy and gifts. The girls received candy and teething food respectively, as well as books, matching swimsuits and some toys.




Look at that mug! Adriana turned 6 months on Friday! So what is she up to these days? She is loving her veggies and cereal. She is sitting up on her own for 10-15 seconds. She loves playing on the floor and rolling around. She is also very vocal and loves to talk to us and sing! She is also teething. We go to the doctor this week for her check-up and we will know then her height, weight and all that good stuff.


Both chewing - Gabriella is enjoying a Tootsie Roll and Adriana is chewing her finger. Teething is hard work!


The Easter Bunny brought Gabby a matching ballerina outfit for her American Girl Bitty Baby. Of course, Gabby ran up to her room and put on her outfit and then dressed her baby so they would match.

Later in the afternoon we went over to Nonna and G-Pa's for Easter dinner. The Easter Bunny left the girls some goodies there, too. They got candy, gifts and matching personalized bags. What a nice Easter Bunny!


Nonna hid a dozen eggs in their bag yard and like every year we had an Easter egg hunt. Gabby loved it!



Like usual, Adriana enjoyed watching Gabby run around the backyard and hunt for eggs.

On Saturday, we went to an Easter Extravaganza at South Park. There was an Easter Egg Hunt, inflatable toys, face painting, balloon artists and a chance to visit with the Easter Bunny!


On our way there - Gabriella sporting her new sunglasses.

She is so much fun!


After our visit to the park, we went back to N&G's and helped Nonna make Easter bread. Gabby was really good at cracking the eggs.



On Friday, we had Uncle Tommy, Aunt Danielle, Nonna & G-Pa over to our house for dinner. It was a nice time to spent together as a family.


Gabriella knows how to use an iPhone and and iPod Touch. We don't own either but the other members of our family do. Here she is playing one of her favorite games on Uncle Tommy's phone. She loves the touch screen.

We hope you all had a blessed and special Easter!
