Daddy helped me put stickers on some of my eggs.

Bunnies

Just a few more pictures from Easter to share. The Easter bunny came and brought us a few treats, including these bunny ears.

The family's only native Texan

Is getting in touch with her roots. It's not so hard to do when you're as close to the ground as Madeline Sophie. Next thing you know, she'll be saying "Y'all."

Have you got my horsie ready?

Things you can be when you grow up

You can be a Mommy.... or a Daddy.... or a shopper. Oh, or Cinderella.

Luckily, we got some pictures in the bluebonnets last week while it was pretty. Today it is cold and rainy, so we had to hunt Easter eggs inside our living room.

He's ALIVE!

Happy Easter to all of you!

In which I give my mother two successive skipped heartbeats

Me: Mama?
Mama: Yes, Isabel?
Me: I wanna fall in love.
Mama: (gasp) You do? That's.....nice, Isabel.
Me: Mama?
Mama: Yes, Isabel?
Me: What's "fall in love?"
Mama: (hysterical laughing, no answer to my question)

After a few minutes, I begin to sing:
Let's fall in love
Why shouldn't we fall in love
Let's take a chance on it

And Mama dissolves into further bursts of laughter.

Ever since playing a gig with Frank Sinatra, Jr. , Daddy has been walking around the house singing snippets of this song. Can you blame me for picking up a few lines? It is pretty catchy, after all.

Also some cool new art projects. I'm enjoying working on them!

And finally, here I am opening my package from Kim C. There is a dress for me and one for Madeline, and they MATCH.

Can you believe it?

On Friday I had even more presents to open: from Jacob's family and Grandmama and Granddad. My birthday is bigger than Christmas this year!

This year he didn't get to blow out my candles. :)

I know I did. Though I mostly just licked the frosting off my slice.

Of course, Jacob came over to have pink cake with me. I think he liked it.

Yum!

Next, he cut the cake into exactly equal and straight slices.

Silly Mommy offered Daddy a box of matches, but he had a better tool.

The much hyped pink cake

We waited until Friday when my Grandmama and Granddad arrived for a visit to have my pink cake and open the rest of my presents. Mommy said it was better to not have too much excitement and sugar all at once.

Madeline Sophie even got in on the action. Like her sister before her, she loves to eat paper.
