Fun Filled Week

So, I go through phases where I take lots of pictures and then I don't take any for a month. Well, I have some pretty cute pictures that I wanted to share from this past week.

Aaron went to church with us on Easter morning, but he missed out on the Easter baskets. And then he left that evening after dinner and was gone all week for some training in Havre. We kept plenty busy this week, but we still miss him when he is gone.

Penelope had such a great time and was so excited when she saw the baskets in the living room. I was only able to get one picture of both of the girls looking at the camera, but Eleanor looked confused and Penelope looked like she was off in daisy dream land. At least in this picture they are both smiling, even if they are not looking at the camera.Penelope loved her chocolate bunny. She bit the ears off and then filled the bunny with her jelly beans and other small candies and then just carried it around shaking it. Penelope in her "Easter dress." She was posing, but absolutely refused to look at the camera.See what I mean about not looking at the camera?Aaron insisted on getting a picture of Eleanor and I,

but then wouldn't let me take one of him. I love Eleanor's smile.

Her whole face lights up when she smiles and I love the little eye wrinkles.

On Wednesday we had a fun birthday party for my friend LaDonna. We found the largest balloon known to man and it had the sweetest little blue fringe thing on it and, of course, Penelope loved it. (So did LaDonna.)

We had the party at Colleen's house and this is her dog Chester. Penelope loves Chester, but what is funny is that Eleanor loves Chester even more. She would lean toward Chester and kick her legs and try to grab at him. I wish I had gotten a picture of that. I couldn't believe how much she loved him.

We made LaDonna wear this tiara the whole time. Well, not the whole time. Penelope confiscated it toward the end; after all she is the princess.

Eleanor is doing really well with solids, but she really likes to blow raspberries with it too. I have decided that I need a full body bib, gloves and goggles when feeding Eleanor.

She thinks it is fun though.

This morning we walked down to story time at the library with Eleanor in the stroller and then after the library we walked to the park. Well, on our way back, Penelope started crying for the "car seat" so I had to squeeze both girls in the stroller and push them up the steepest hill ever created. The girls thouroughly enjoyed it.
