Ahlquist Family: March and Easter

Sitting in Cinderella's Carriage

Over spring break, Laura, Molly and Jackson came in from Dallas. We had such a great time. The kids all had so much fun playing together. We went to Paradise Park and down to Crown Center. There was a Fairy Tale Exhibit that the kids played at and then we ate at Fritz's. We got to play outside just a little bit because the weather wasn't that great. And after they left we had a huge snowstorm. This is Avery's snowman that she and Erik built. His name is Tony. Avery is on a kick where every doll and stuffed animal that she has is named Tony. Our neighbor's name is Tony and I guess that is where it came from--who knows with her!!

Avery loved coloring her Easter Eggs! I probably should have boiled more eggs but she had a great time! The package that we had included brown dye--who wants to color their eggs brown?? Well, Avery has recently gotten a cd and a set of books of different songs that teach you how to spell all of the color words. Thank you Stacy:) And she LOVES it! We listen to the cd everywhere we go and we read the books every night. She knows a lot of the songs and can spell almost all of the colors! And brown is one of her favorites actually because it talks about a lot of chocolate things. So, she was all about coloring her eggs brown!

Harper has started to smile!! She is doing great! She is 2 months old now and got her first set of shots. Erik took her but said she was a real trooper!

The Easter Bunny brought Avery several things but she was most excited about getting Big Girl Shampoo and Body Wash! She has graduated from Johnson and Johnson! She was so proud!!
