Washbrook Visit

Uncle Kyle, Kaeli and Anna spent a long time jumping on the Dunlop's trampoline while they were visiting.

 
 
They slowed down for about three seconds so I could take a quick picture.

Tria had a good time, laughing at the kids jumping.

 
The playground was a big hit!

Anna read the new Disney story, "Brave" to Uncle Kyle.

 
And stole his hat.

"CHEESE!" says Evelyn! I just love this squnchy smile!

 
Everyone had to take a turn trying on my tall welly boots.

 
 
 Auntie Michelle and Evelyn - Still BFF's.

Easter Weekend in Calgary

Kyle and I spent Easter weekend in Calgary visiting the Washbrooks. We got to spend so much time hanging out with the kids - It was great!

 
Kyle and Kaeli were best buddies all weekend!

Anna's imagination is amazing - Here she is building "the biggest tower that goes up to the sky."

 
The girls make Evelyn laugh so much, it's adorable to watch them together.

Kaeli and Anna spent tons of time riding their bikes in the backyard.

 
And they had a great time playing at the park across the road from their house.

 
 
 
Evelyn is growing up and learning so much - She played with stacking toys for ages and is getting really good at them.

She's also crawling up a storm and becoming a pro at climbing up the stairs.

Kaeli impressed us with her printing - She can spell her name and is sounding out loads of words. She'll be reading on her own in no time.

Evelyn is such a little snuggle bug! 

On Saturday we watched the girls dye eggs for Easter. 

 
 
They did over a dozen eggs and were so excited to see the end result.

On Easter morning the girls got dressed up in their fancy new dresses, opened presents and hunted for eggs.

Evelyn did so well opening her gift.

Anna was very excited about her new Duplo set!

 
After an absolutely delicious lunch of turkey, roast veggies and yorkshire pudding (YUM!) and a nap we all set out for a walk. 

As we walked Anna pointed out every squirrel to me.

 
On our last day Kyle spent some time hanging out with Evelyn.

(And he managed to get a little work done surrounded by Barbies and fairies.)

Kyle and I took Kaeli and Anna to Helicopter Park in the afternoon to take advantage of the beautiful weather.

 
Anna was the driver of the dinosaur bus and drove her passengers anywhere they wanted to go.

She dropped pilot Kaeli off at her helicopter so she could fly it to Hawaii!

Uncle Kyle did a little climbing too!

We blew bubbles before dinner

And the girls ran around chasing them for ages!

Before finally stretching out to relax with a good book.

Thank you for a great visit, Washbrook family!
Happy Easter!

Boxing Day

Bonnie and Andy arrived in Calgary on Boxing Day.

Everyone sits down for a big Boxing Day dinner!

It's a shame that I was so sick on our first Christmas as husband and wife... I look like this in all of our photos!  At least it's one we'll never forget. 
(And yes, I went right back to bed after dinner was over.)

 The girls had a blast playing in the huge gift bags Bonnie and Andy had brought their presents in!

 
 Even Evelyn thought it was fun!
