Pirate or Princess?

Tonight, one of our local Chick Fil-As was having a "Pirate and Princess" night. Seeing as how both girls love princesses, we couldn't pass up the opportunity. Kate and Lauren both opted for the "princess" face painting (rather than the pirate). As always, they each selected their favorite color as the main focus in the design.

The girls also came home adorned with tattoos and glitter stars on their hands and cheeks. Plus, we have keepsake photos, courtesy of Chick Fil-A, with both the princess and the pirate cow. (Even Dad got in on the action!)

Easter Activities

This past weekend was consumed with various Easter activities! The first event was Saturday at our church's annual Easter Eggstravaganza. The girls enjoyed singing songs, making a craft, playing games and searching for eggs. As you can see from the pictures, our girls displayed a little egg discrimnation...Kate searched for purple eggs and Lauren pink.

After the festivities we headed to Trader Joe's for a few needed items, only to spot the Easter bunny outside the Hallmark store in the plaza. The girls posed for a picture and graciously received "bunny corn" from the furry friend.

Easter morning we attended a beautiful service at church in which the girls wore their Easter dresses, compliments of Grampy and Grammy. We tried desperately to get a family shot after church, but as you can see, one of the family members didn't cooperate as well. I guess smiles aren't everything.

The day ended with a delicious dinner at Mom-Mom and Pop-Pop's as well as an Easter Egg Hunt orchestrated by Grandma Kathy (Patrick's mom). The kids ran around the house in search of hidden eggs and gifts. Both girls were exhausted by the end of the day and fell asleep in the car on the way home. However, they continue to play with their bunny ears, baskets, and plastic eggs...until mom puts everything away for the season.
