Hoppy Easter from Seal Beach!

Easter morning started out great for the girls.  Both Ryan and Charlie got matching jammies for themselves and their American Girl Dolls! 
(These girls are LOVING their new American Girl obsession!)

 Ryan with her American Girl Doll, McKenna.

 Charlie with her new best friend, Julie.

Then... the girls started hunting for their Easter baskets.  I wonder where the Easter Bunny hid them this year.  That poor Easter Bunny is running out of places to hide a giant basket in the house.  So, the hunt went quickly.


Char Bear tore open her basket faster than ever... Of course!
Oh Charlie, what kind of look is that?  LOL

Ryan opening her basket slowly as to not mess it up.


Next, the girls realized that this year the Easter Bunny hid the Easter eggs INSIDE of the house!  Brilliant idea Mr. Easter Bunny!!


Oh my, look how tall Ryan is!



The all important opening of the loot.


Both girls found a lucky Golden Egg with $5 inside!!!  So cool!

Look what else I got, mom!

When the festivities were all over at the house, we headed to Old Ranch for Easter Brunch with Nonna and Grandpa and Gigi.


Gigi certainly enjoyed spending the morning with her girlies.  


I can't believe I didn't get a picture of Nonna and Grandpa.  Sorry Mom and Dad.  We did get a very mediocre family pic but that sun was shining bright behind us.


The girls got to take advantage of all the fun activities for the kids after they finished their food.  The balloon baskets were there fave discovery!



We hope everyone had a great Easter!

Introducing... Miss Annie Grace

Ahhhh.... the Graces got to meet little Miss Annie Grace.  We headed up after school and physical therapy on Friday, March 16th.  We were all so, so excited. 

What a precious little cute she is!

Momma wanted her right away (after her nap of course)!  Gimme that little nugget! 


We eased the girls into meeting their new little cousin.  Charlie was trying to make funny faces at her...lol

 We got Ryan all positioned and ready to take her turn with Annie.
 Charlie waited patiently but anxiously to take her turn.  Both girls did great.
 Hi Annie!

 Mommy had to take another turn...lol
 And then finally daddy (he is a little nervous around the new-newborns).  He did great.
 Hmmm... either Heisman trophy pose? "Don't take my picture" pose? Or "talk to the hands" pose?
 Look at the peanut in her crib!  She hardly takes up any space.


Oh ya... these pictures have nothing to do with Annie but it sure is cute to our "totally afraid of dogs" daughters LOVING Puffer!  How cute!

A great visit all around.  Jeff and Julie are great parents.  Calm and organized and loving and we are so excited for their new family!  Congratulations to Jeff and Julie!
