MeeMaw and Grandaddy came through as the Easter Bunny again.  The girls got baskets with tons of stuff inside.  I love how my mom really makes each girl's basket fit their personality.  All of the items inside go with each girl.  Thanks Mom for taking the time to make our girls feel so loved and special.

All Tucked Away

Aunt Deb bought the girls bunny rabbit sleeping bags for Easter.  They are the cutest things.  You can unzip the on the bottom so you can push your legs through and hop around like a bunny.  If you're interested, they're at ToysRUs.  Thanks Aunt Deb!

All "Dressed" Up

The girls' Griffin great grandparents (Mimi & Banky) bought the girls dresses, and they are absolutely adorable.  Addison absolutely loved hers.  She twirled and danced around like a "ballerina."  She looks so grown up in this picture.  She is 3 now (posts to come about her birthday soon), but I'm just not ready for her to act so grown up.

Shaving Cream Paint

After seeing shaving cream paint on Pinterest and other blogs, I knew that the girls would love it.  I made various colors in a muffin tin and away they went.  They loved it.  The water looked like a big blob of gray, but the paint was everywhere.  I call that a success.  I'm sure we'll do it again.

Easter

The picture taking for Easter was sub pare to say the least.  The girls were not in the picture taking mood, and I didn't keep the camera handy.

Don't they just look thrilled?

We celebrated Gingy and Gray's birthday on Easter also.

Lakepointe Easter Egg Hunt

Our sweet friend Kate invited us to her church Easter egg hunt.  So we loaded up the girls and thought that we just might get some aggressiveness out of them at the hunt.  Once again.....no aggressiveness.  Our girls got zero, yes zero eggs.  One day I hope their passiveness retreats a little bit and they show me that they are competitive.  I did somehow manage to get a few pictures.


Their faces/body language tell exactly what they thought about being there.  It was time to go home.

Jeep Reveal

To say that Addison is in love with Jeeps would be an understatement.  She screams with excitement any time she sees a Jeep.  So we knew exactly what she needed for her 3rd Birthday - a Jeep.  However, we didn't want to spend +$300 on a Jeep that the girls would probably only be interested in for a year.  Off to Craigslist I went.  After weeks of looking, I came across one for $115.  Yipee!  It looked great.  Jordan went and picked it up and we put it in the front bedroom (the one that Addison never goes in).  It was in there for a few days before "the discovery."  Jordan had gone in the room to shred something and she thought she say a lawn mower.  Later that afternoon I was in the kitchen, Landry was taking a nap, and Jordan was in our room working.  It got real quiet and after a few minutes I went to go look for her.  As I was calling her name, she yells "Mom, look it's a Jeep."  She was so excited.  I wish I could have captured that moment on camera (which I would have been able to do if she hadn't been nosy).  

With the Jeep being discovered early we didn't have the battery charged, so she had to wait till the next day to drive it.  The lack of battery didn't stop them from discovering every square inch of it that day.  She was in love.  

So the following day we let her venture out with the Jeep.  We knew she had no idea how to drive it, so we headed to a large field about 2 houses down from our house and just let her go.  She ran into the neighbor's fence and trees.  It was hilarious.  By the time Landry got up from her nap, Addison was ready for her second Jeep adventure.  She did much better and Landry loved it (see video below).
