We had a birthday party at Lisa's house for Abby while we were in California. She had many admirers to help her celebrate. The Klein girls made a HUGE blue cake that matched the color of her eyes! It was a great family get-together filled with swimming, food, and fun!
Here she is saying, "Oooohhhhhh."
Got cake?
Abby does!
Awww...you can actually see her top teeth!
Ava raised 10 butterflies from caterpillar to cocoon. We finally set them free, and this one wanted to stay with her on her finger.
Support from the audience.
True rockers at heart.
Sheri took my girls and I to a church function for Mother's and Daughters. They had 'stations' set up all around the gym, and at each station was a craft or fingernail painting you were able to do with your daughter. Ava had a blast! She loves creating and making projects. Here we are making a 'scrapbooking' page to glue a photo of us that they took when we first arrived.
Abby getting in on the action. Grandma Sheri was on "baby duty". (thanks, Sheri!)
Abby Rose. (I made this?)
"Crazy Daisy" jumped inbetween us, and grabbed Ava's bunny! Daisy is such a sweet dog!!!! Ava and Daisy played the WHOLE time.
Easter Bunny Abby
Awwwww....matching dresses and all!
My two little angels. I finally capture a smile from Abby.
Hmm...I wonder where Abby inherited her pretty blue eyes? 
Bappa was a trooper. He was doing triple duty...... Such a good sport. He played endlessly game after game after game after game with Ava, and still wears a smile.
Ava's a genius. Loves her puzzles!!!
Mommy lost the coin toss who gets to ride with Ava.
Craig, at least, was hidden from sight......
....but if you notice...WE ARE THE ONLY ONES dumb enough to take our kids to a carnival when it's freezing outside.
Ava got extra long rides, since no one else was there! 
I won "The Winter Carnival" gift basket worth $735.00.
