First Haircut

That one precious little curl that Eliza was born with continued to grow and grow, until it was almost in her eyes.  She got her first haircut while we were home, just to trim up that curl.

Her "cupie doll" curl


 Getting all ready!

 Mama catchin' that sweet curl to save

 Beautiful!

 Big Sister also needed a trim while we were there.


She LOVED her pigtails!

Outside Fun with Nonna

While we were in Houston, this 3 1/2 year old wanted to spend all day, everyday outside.  We all had cabin fever and loved all the green and nice weather!

 Awesome bubble blower from Nonna


 A little golf!


The Farm

David and Tish graciously invited us to their farm located just outside of Brennan for Easter lunch.  It is absolutely fabulous, and the girls LOVED it!  We left just after the morning Easter egg hunt at Nonna and Papa's, perfect timing for Eliza's first nap.

Olivia is taking photos of her all of her Strawberry Shortcake friends.  She is saying things like, "Let's try that again, I didn't see your smile" :)

 Checking out TP Farm's vineyard

 Getting ready for a tour of the farm with Uncle David on his Mule

 Eliza LOVED it!  She screeched and giggled the entire time.

 Olivia was a little hesitant and just taking it all in during the ride.  Mike said, "This is how it is going to be the rest of our lives: one in the front screaming and the other in the back biting her nails"


 With Uncle Matt (by the way, Olivia now makes a point to NOT look at the camera while I am taking her picture--great!)

"Hi cows!"

More Easter

The night before Easter we finally got around to using the dye kit from last year!
