Daddy had surgery on his shoulder yesterday and Gammie has been over at the house helping out a lot. She’s been playing with the girls and getting us dinner and lunches. It’s been so much fun having her here. The girls are having a ball.
Here they are enjoying the organic suckers that Gammie brought today. Delicious!:
And here’s Daddy’s shoulder. Not so Delicious… YUCK!:
Gammie brought Easter baskets over for the girls today.
Here she is with Olivia:
What an Easter. Celebrations at three different houses. Four egg hunts. 47 family members and 86 photos. And we even had time to read the Easter story from the Bible before the girls passed out for the night.
The Easter Bunny stopped by our house sometime last night…
Ready for the hunt, Gabriella spies a couple of eggs:

Since Daddy had today off work for Good Friday, we decided to take the girls out for a special evening. We invited Uncle Greg and Aunt Jacinda to make it even more fun.
Olivia. OG Style:
Have one daddy:
Here comes Gabriella:
After breaking into the pantry and helping herself to two bags of chips, she decides to share her loot with Max:
…And I know you do too:
We celebrated Chinese New Year today, complete with “Leisee” (lucky money) for the girls. Daddy met mommy and the girls for lunch and then came home with presents and Chinese candies and treats. The girls had a blast, sampling all the treats. Some were yummy, some were… not so yummy.
Happy Chinese New Year.
Olivia tries a peanut candy…
…and actually likes it!
Gabriella tries out the Hello Panda cookies:
Mmm, full tummy of treats:
Chris, Aric, Andrea and Drayke came over this evening for our annual NHL All Star Game watch party.
We had some dinner and watched the game.
Here’s Uncle Chris rough-housing, as usual:
Daddy’s friend Brian Burton stopped by so his daughter Stella could play with the girls today.
Mommy was out for a couple of hours at a baby shower, so it was perfect timing.
The girls had a great time sharing all their toys with Stella:
The girls got into daddy’s Swatch collection and made some exciting new jewelry out of them.
Here they are, showing off their creations:
Here are the girls, performing songs on the piano, live from the Pillow Stage:
