Friends and Cousins

 We loved having Millie come over on Mondays.  Maggie loved to dress up with her.

 Maggie LOVED to play with Ethan.  This started when they were little babies and we watched each other's kids once a week while I taught piano.












 Ethan loved to play with Lizzy.  It was so cute-  she loved when he came over to play with Maggie!

 We miss the Naperville Library-  it was so awesome.  We would go and play with the toys and Maggie really liked the computer games they had.





 One of our last visits to the Children's Museum.  We had a season pass there and we went all the time.  I attribute my sanity in the winters to the museum.






 Bath time!
 Lizzy's 9 month appointment was really more like her 10 month-  after RSV and everything we were kind of late.  And I lost the stats.  But she was sure cute.  








 Mom-  what are you letting them do to me?



Playing on our front porch.

 The park with Sofia- it must have been cold..




 General Conference wiped her out.
 This is the swing at Gennessee Park-  the first swing that Maggie ever went in when she was a baby.  It was fun to let Lizzy swing there.




 Watching shows on Dad's phone.
 Family walk-  Dad helped her climb a tree in our neighborhood.


 more shows..

 Maggie LOVES playdough


 Maggie and Cailyn are such great friends!  They loved playing playdough together.

 cousins-  2 months apart

















 I think he liked his birthday cake!






 Oh my-  he is soooo cute!









 Being silly-  Maggie and Sofia were best buds!





 Matching unitards-  awesome!









My Birthday and Easter






 One night, I was cleaning up dinner and wasn't interrupted once by Maggie.  Ten minutes later, she came out of the bathroom like this.  Every single clip was in her hair ;-)




 Sister Love

 Maggie made me a crown for my birthday- as you can tell, she thought my head was a lot smaller than it really is.




 Brad made a delicious cake for me.  26 candles - I can no longer blow them all out!
 And then some of my friends brought me more treats-  I was so spoiled!
 Brad also made this banner-  he got some major points for my birthday.  This is the first birthday in three years that I was able to spend it with him (he normally sends me away during busy season ;-))
 Easter was so fun this year.  We were able to participate in three Easter Egg hunts!  Maggie loved the hunts this year!





 I did not do a good job of taking pictures before church on Easter- so we snapped a few after church.  Next year I will be better at that.
