Spring Break: St. Patrick's Day

Since we had so much fun last year, we did the parade again this year! My cousin Kevin and his family recently moved to the Dallas area so they met up with us. Only pictures can show how much fun they had!

Taylor, Madison, and the girls

Look at all those beads!

For some reason, Elia wasn't so into catching beads.  She was moreinterested in
running in circles around people and getting as much of this guy as possible!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Aunt Colleen's Visit

We had such a wonderful visit with Aunt Col this week. She babysat for us all day while we were at work on Friday, went to the parade on Saturday, babysat again for a date night on Sunday, followed us around at the Arboretum on Monday, hung out at the hiking park on Tuesday, and finally helped me host my church's playgroup on Wednesday. I was sad to see her go when we dropped her off at the airport this evening. The girls love her, and it shows in the pictures. We can't wait to see her again in June! Love you Col!

At the parade:

Gianna asked her to draw a pteranadon (flying dino) and so she looked up a pic on her computer and sketched it.

Ain't she pretty? :)

St. Patty's Parade

The St. Patrick's Day parade was so much fun!!! With Aunt Col joining us, we took the DART all the way downtown so we wouldn't have to worry about parking. The girls LOVED watching the world go by as we headed to the parade.

Look at my beautiful, grownup looking girl!

Cute Family Pics:

We met up with some of Chris' old work buddies and watched the whole thing together. Everyone kept giving the girls beads. How could you refuse these 2 anyway?

Aunt Col had fun too!

After the parade, we had our hiking backpacks and trekked over to Chris' friend's Amber and Nate, and Weinpel helped cart the girls the 12 blocks to their house. Their neighbor had a bounce house, which they couldn't get enough of! We took the DART home, and were so exhausted. I think we walked into our door at 5pm.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
