Happy Easter 2015

I had so much fun making these dresses for my girls this Easter. I saw the fabric in the store and I knew it would make the most adorable dresses, and I was right! I love how they fit and turned out. Liv & Pen obviously loved them too. 





Olivia is obsessed with dying eggs. She thinks it is so much fun. So this will probably be a must every single Easter for a long time. I secretly really enjoy it as well. 



Our ward did a really fun egg hunt too. Each family had the turn in 12 filled eggs for each of their children participating. I think this was such a great idea. Ryan taught Liv a great strategy to just run past the few eggs at the beginning so that she'd be all by herself in the back. It was hilarious, she did pretty well! Penny also picked up on it pretty quick too!






That night we got to do another egg hunt with Grammy and Grandpa. The girls were pros at this point!



Then Easter morning the Easter bunny finally came to our house! The girls each got a few toys and some candy, but then we noticed that the Easter bunny had left us breakfast on the back porch!








It was such a fun Easter morning! The girls loved the breakfast, especially since there were so many pink things! It was such a memorable morning with these sweet girls. 

Austin with the Cavanaughs

Ryan had some meetings in Austin, so of course we took advantage of Penny being under 2 and flying for free, as well as using some skymiles to go visit our favorite people in Austin, Texas.  Liv loved packing her own bag, and getting ready for the trip. We flew in late Saturday night so Ryan could still go to class on Saturday and hang out with us all day Sunday before he had to go to his meetings on Monday and Tuesday. I loved seeing Penny and Trey together, they will always seem like twins to me!



On Monday morning we went to the Children's Museum and the kids had a great time. Trey and Penny were a little young for some of the activities, but they just pretended like they knew what was going on and still had fun. It was a great way to spend when it was pouring rain outside. 



Penny had been pretty fussy all weekend then she had a rough night and didn't sleep much with a little bit of a fever. So we took her in for a visit to the Insta-Care, they were all really sweet with her, and diagnose a pretty "nasty" ear infection. Poor girl. After getting some antibiotics, she started having a lot more fun. 


That afternoon after the babies took some good naps we went to Zilker park to play around and ride on the train, now that was a fun time. The kids all loved it, even though it was a tad bit chilly. 





Once Ryan and Tim were done with work, we met them for dinner at the most yummy place in Austin. I think it was called Hop Doddy's, with some delicious hamburgers and fries. 


And then in case there weren't enough calories consumed there, we decided to delve into some Gordough's donuts! Yummmmm. 


Our last day there was another rainy one, but we decided to brave the cold and do a little bit of shopping and stopped by the park. 



We had such a good time hanging out with Jen and Trey for a few days. I love any minute we can spend together with our little ones. 


Dinosaur Museum

Especially during the winter we all get a little stir-crazy. So I am always trying to take the girls out to do something on Friday mornings when Livy doesn't have preschool or music class. This time Mimi came with us! Penny was very unsure about the sand, but Liv could have been there all day. Having a pass to Thanksgiving Point has been one of our favorite things. We live so close, can play for however long or short we feel, and love to grab lunch at the Deli. I love these little girls and their love for having fun!
