Happy Easter

Wahoo.... we made it to Easter Sunday... also known as the day the girls are officially 11 months old. We had such a great weekend. Yesterday I took the girls to the Zoo for Bunny Bonanzoo for a couple of hours. They got to see the Easter Bunny and sat on EB's lap and didn't cry at all. I of course bought the pictures that were taken since they came out so well.

Today we went to church and got to sit with the bigger kids during the story time. They seemed to love doing that. Anna had a great time flirting with the people behind us and the people in the row behind them also.

After church I took them to my brother's house to see my brother, his wife and their girls (S&D). S & D were so excited to see the babies and even had a really cute egg hunt set up for them to do. Inside the eggs my SIL and nieces had put Toddler Fruit Bars, Yogurt Drops and Baby Biter Biscuits. They also gave them an Easter Basket with more Biscuits, Yogurt Drops, Fruit Bars, an outfit each for the summer and a stuffed animal each.

Lily is doing awesome at trying to crawl. She can now move herself forward in a crawling motion if you don't exactly watch her and can also move herself forward by doing belly flop moves.

Anna is attempting to take steps forward while holding onto furniture (ie the coffee table and couch) and attempting to stand on her own without holding anything. This last part is resulting in some falls backward already. She'll get there eventually... the learning curve is still being determined for that.

I can hardly believe by the way that my daughters are now 11 months old. Where has the time gone? Can it truly have been just a year ago at this time that I was pregnant as anything and looking so forward to the birth of my little girls and wondering what they would actually look like and how I would ever be able to care for two babies at once? Now here we are a year later with two eleven month old babies that are growing each and every day. I looked back at some of their photos the other day from when they were first born and I can hardly believe that they were once so small. It's quite the trip to see how big they've gotten over time. I'm so glad that I've been taking monthly pictures to document their growth. I've also been around quite a few newborns lately and it constantly amazes me how little those babies are in comparison to Anna and Lily now.

I'm starting to plan their birthday party already. I made the invitations myself and I'll also be making their cakes (Pooh and Tigger) for the event. I'm inviting a few of their baby friends, along with a few relatives of ours. It should be a fun day.
