Spring snow!

What do you do when you get over 9 inches of snow on March 25th?

Play with all your new birthday toys!

Both girls are enjoying their new princess gear!  Claire has her high heels and crown on at all times...they are a HUGE hit! 

Going fishing!

Making play doh ice cream!

And then of course there is plenty to do outside!  These girls LOVE the snow!

It was so deep Claire couldn't get up when she fell down.  She would just wait for someone to come get her up!

She made a little seat.

Once Claire got tired she needed a lot of help walking.  Emmerson never minds helping her sister.

Sweet sisters.

Snow angels

We talked Daddy into staying home and playing with us!  They love their IU man!

So does Daddy!

Emmerson said, " Mommy, you won't believe it...It's taller than you!".

A BIG birthday party for two sweet girls!

This year we decided to have a joint birthday party for the girls.  It was a really fun day!

All of our pictures that we decorate with each year!

So fun to see how they have changed!

Our birthday girls!

We got the girls a bounce house for their birthday.  They were so excited when they came outside and saw it!  They got right in and stayed in most of the party!

Our friends liked it too!

Two happy girls!

Gift time was a little crazy with two excited birthday girls and a MILLION gifts!

As you can tell by these pictures they loved all the gifts!

Cake time! 

By far Claire's favorite part of the day!

BIG news!

If you haven't heard the news...These two are going to be big sisters!  We couldn't be more excited to welcome another little one into our family on or around September 13th. 

When we told Emmerson she was so excited!  She said some of the sweetest stuff.  She kept telling us how happy she was to have another baby and she said, "I will hold the new baby so you can still hold Claire."  

More SNOW!

The girls got their wish and we got one more good snow to play in.  Daddy took the morning off and they took full advantage of it! 

All ready!  Double ear infection and all!

Claire spent a lot of her time eating the snow...

Emmerson worked very hard on her first snowman!

They loved sliding all around.

They talked Daddy into many trips around the block. 

Putting on our final touches. 

He is done!

They were very proud!

Claire LOVED him!  She kept saying, "snowman cute!"

She even kissed him goodbye before we went in.
