So Many Cousins {Happy Easter}

By -

Easter Sunday was a big event, as usual. The girls woke up with gifts from the Easter bunny, including Golden Knight shields and swords, LOL Dolls, and cute new swim suits.




Of course we had to open the toys right away and see which LOL Dolls the bunny brought.



Perry liked her chocolate bunny the best.


After we all got ready to head out of the house for the day, the girls spotted some eggs in the back yard. We had a quick egg hunt before we had to leave.









Our first stop of the day was Grammy and Papa Rick's. We hung out for a while before enjoying a yummy lunch with ham and all the sides. Then we had another egg hunt with all the cousins. The girls got super cute outfits, swim suits, and all kinds of fun goodies in their baskets.











That afternoon, we headed to Grandpa and Grandma Espejo's where the kids got to hunt for even more eggs. They got more baskets with more clothes and goodies and had fun playing with more cousins.











We celebrated Easter with Poppa and Gran and Grandma Sunshine and Papa Craig in the days before, so we weren't so crazy running around on Easter Sunday. We got to spend the whole weekend with lots of family time, which always makes our hearts full. Even though it can be chaotic at times, we are so lucky to have so many grandparents so close to us. The girls get so much love, and we all enjoy spending time with each of them.

I love that the girls have so many cousins to play with, because I remember spending time with all of my cousins as a kid, and they were some of my favorite times. They just keep on coming, too. We'll be adding a few more the rest of this year, and we can't wait. Our family sure has been blessed.

Happy Easter!

He is risen!

...Char was sleeping so peacefully Monday morning that I didn't want to wake her up. ...she made me a pretty picture at school with chalk. ...she continued her obsession with the easel and colored (and watched Toy Story ) while waiting for Daddy to get home from work. Hooray for panties! ...it got cold and windy again, but we played outside anyways. Isaac played catch with the neighbor boys, while JJ flew the kite and Char strutted her stuff. ...the girls danced around the living room. There is an iTunes Radio station called 'Frozen Radio' that the girls are crazy about. They play random Disney songs, and we listen to it all.the.time. (After watching this a few times, I realized that Char was trying to sing "friend in" as in "You've Got a Friend In Me".) ...Grace put Charley to bed by tickling her face. ...the girls got cake pops. Yep, for breakfast. ...we got to school a few minute...

Can you believe Grace is nineteen months old? Time flies so much faster when you have a baby! This month she got to go see Dr. Vu for a check-up and didn't even have to get any shots. She was super excited hanging out in the waiting room and even learned how to say "cars": At nineteen months, Grace weighs in at 26 pounds, 4 ounces. This puts her in the seventy-fifth percentile for weight. We absolutely love that she's so squishy. It's makes it much more fun to smother her cheeks with kisses. She is also 31 inches tall. This is in the sixtieth percentile. Baby must have gone through a growth spurt since her last check up, because she was only in the thirtieth percentile back then. This month Grace learned a lot of new words. My favorite is when we say her bedtime prayers and at the end she says, "aaaamennn". It's so precious! She's now obsessed with Elmo and says "Ah Ehmo?" for "Where's Elmo?". She's also go...

Charley turns FIVE!

Char Char, the five year old. That doesn't even seem real. This girl has grown and changed so much over the past couple of months. She's lost her toddler look and is total big girl status these days. (She does still have her chipmunk voice, so at least I can hang on to that.) Charley will be starting Kindergarten soon, and we have her orientation this upcoming weekend. I'm not ready for that. With Grace, I was so excited. Charley still feels like a baby to me. She, on the other hand, cannot wait to join her big sis and the Sebastian boys at school every day. Charley recently had a doctor's appointment where they told her she didn't need any shots, and she was so happy after anticipating them all day. She weighed in at forty pounds and stands forty-four inches tall. She's in the fiftieth percentile for weight and the seventy-fifth for height. She is in size five in almost everything and is wearing a size ten in shoes. Char loves her dresses a...
