Easter-ific

The animals in our household organized an Easter parade.

The dinosaurs were well represented.

The parade marchers ended at the girls' Easter baskets.

The Easter bunny brought robes (or as Claire calls them, "wrappers") to Claire and Charlee.

Charlee had lots of help from her sisters on the egg hunt.

"Hmmm... where are those eggs?"

"Here's one. There's monies inside!"

"What did you get?"

"Oooooo. Gummies."

"My sugar high is kicking in."

Girls Gone Punk

All three girls got haircuts yesterday. Kate and Claire got an extra treat of color at the end. Fun!
