April 24th: Day 114
My very favorite kitchen appliance is my Kitchen Aid for two reasons.
1. It makes baking so much easier!
2. It was a gift from Grandma & Grandpa Newby for our wedding and will always remind me of Grandma and the many cakes she baked.
Claire loves helping me in the kitchen and today we made our family's most favorite dessert ever. Angel food cake. Amazing, even without frosting or any other extras.

April 22nd: Day112
Claire and I went to the library today and I picked out a bunch of books for Ella. She is so into National Geographic Kids right now and I found one that had lots of strange facts. She was so cute with how excited she was to read some of them to me.
April 21st: Day 111
Ella, Claire & Maddy have been planning and out practicing the Frozen show that they are going to put on for months now. Ella is going to be Elsa and both Claire and Maddy are going to be Anna. Here they are acting out the scene from "Do You Want to Build a Snowman".
April 20th: Day 110
This morning we woke up bright and early so that we had time to find baskets before church since we were heading to visit family right after church and there wouldn't be time afterwards. Ella found her basket in her backpack and Claire found her basket in the lazy susan. Good thing the Easter Bunny put some things in their baskets that could entertain them during church as well. Smart Bunny. I normally love the REACH service at church and its contemporary music, but on holidays I still love the traditional hymns. I was a little bummed that we didn't sing all of I Know That My Redeemer Lives since that song goes hand in hand with Easter morning for me.
After church we met dad's family at The Woods for brunch, headed back to dad's so the girls could hunt for baskets there and then headed over to mom's where they found more baskets. Most of the time people were busy watching the Brewer game but I got an awesome history lesson from Grandma and Grandpa Newby instead. (And I'd much rather have a history lesson from them than watch baseball on tv!) They filled me in what Main Street in Almond used to look like, all about the little country school and some family history. Now let's hope I can remember all this or that it is written down somewhere!
April 19th: Day 109
Photo shoot this morning, so I snuck in a few shots of the girls in their Easter dresses as well.
After the shoot we had an egg hunt (and mom & dad brought Ella a bike and Claire a scooter this year!) and dyed eggs. Love tradition!
