Easter 2013

A few pictures from Easter.....

Holly's 11th Birthday Celebrations!

For Holly's birthday this year she wanted to go to Perfect North Slopes in Indiana.  So we invited the Lakes crew along with us!  We went earlier in February because all of our schedules were crazy busy and it turned out to be the perfect day to go!

We seriously had a wonderful time!

 Then on her actual birthday, the 28th, we had a cake and ice cream get together with some family.

FYI - her cake was suppose to be a Minecraft cake with some grass.  I'm pretty sure Anna and I won't be entering any cake decorating contests anytime soon! :)  Although, it was very tasty!

 Holly and Bella!

 Anna made her a Minecraft cake card!  Looked much better than the cake. :)

 Opening her locket!

My three favorite people in the entire world!

Happy 11th Birthday to our baby girl!

Happy 11th Birthday Holly!

Happy 11th Birthday, Holly!!!

Holly's 4th Spiritual Birthday!

Holly turned 4 years old today....spiritually that is!!! Can't believe how fast time is going by!

Swim Time!

Both of the girls are swimming this year for the Dolphins!  They've been practicing since mid-May and we've had two swim meets so far.

 Anna getting into the team spirit with a little tongue dyeing candy!

 Holly's very first race!  She got 2nd in freestyle!

 Anna got 3rd in her first fly heat and she got 1st last week at our home meet in her fly heat!

 Holly got 1st in her breast stroke heat!

It's so much fun to watch them and even though they were hesitant to start swimming this year, they are loving it!

Holly's Birthday Celebrations

I wanted to post the celebrations surrounding Holly's big 10th birthday!

I hadn't uploaded pictures from my camera in about 2 weeks [shocking I know!]

We had planned on going to Perfect North again on the Thursday before her bday, but it was storming and then the tubing section closed that following weekend. So we made a trip over to Champs so she could roller skate and play laser tag. :) She also got to go on a shopping trip and pick out her gifts that night.

Then on her actual birthday - the 28th we had a little party for her. She wanted me to bake a cake again and Anna decorated it like her iPod! I thought she did a pretty good job.

Still can't believe our baby girl is already 10 years old.

Christis and Don stopped by that night too! Christis had just gotten back from the San Antonio Independent Christian Film Festival.

We love our girlies and are very blessed that they are growing into such sweet spirited precious young ladies!

Holly's 10th Birthday!!!

Today we celebrate Holly's 10th birthday! Wow!

We pulled out some pics from each of her b-day celebrations:

I'll add another one from tonight when she blows out her candles! We already celebrate some last week with a trip to laser tag/skating/shopping trip. :o)

(I couldn't find one of her 3rd b-day, but I'm still looking!)

We are so blessed to have this precious girly in our lives. God has blessed us beyond measure and we praise Him for her!!!

Happy 10th Birthday baby girl!!!!
