Hangin Around
This dress was given to us by a mother of twins at Alex's school. The dresses came all the way from Puerto Rico where the woman is from. Alex wore the pink one yesterday.

Easter Morning

Alex was the first one down stairs Easter morning. I ran ahead of her trying to catch her reaction. This doesn't look very excited but she was. She then looked into the living room and said "The Easter Bunny didn't hide any eggs." I said, "I think he did. You just can't see them without the lights on. Go get your brother." I was up until 1:00 and forgot to do eggs. GRRRR! So I quickly threw together 10 eggs and hid them and still had time to spare.

This is Joey's Spencer train that he got in his basket. He also got Gordon. Despite the face, he was very excited. Alex got a 6 month Club Penguin membership (which she has played on every day of her vacation) and a Radio Disney CD. She loved her basket also.

Easter with the Campbell's 2009

We like to split the holidays between families. It makes traveling easier and we get to spend the whole day with each of our families. This is Easter at Mom and Dad Campbell's on saturday. I took lots of photos. Joey, Alex, and Brianne

This was the cutest. Joey was the Prince and Brianne the Princess. Brianne sang and they twirled like they were dancing. Watch the video below.

Rub a Dub Dub, Two Men in a Tub

My kids are 4 & 5 and still love the bathtub. Obviously, they still bathe together too but that's besides the point. Alex prefers to take a shower but hardly ever opposes a bath. This day, they spent an exceptionally long time in the tub. Alex asked for this photo op so I'm sharing."MOM! Come take Joey's picture!" Hey, my boy really does smile.


Alex: "Now take it off. Say Good Day" Joey: "Good Day"

My Reverant Child

You didn't think it was Joey did ya. He can't even keep his eyes closed during prayer. Anyway, Alex's school chooses a child from each class who excels in different areas. Alex was chosen for reverance. We are very proud!

Breakfast with the Easter Bunny

On the 4th, Alex's school had breakfast with the Easter Bunny. Chocolate chip pancakes with whipped cream and sprinkles and a side of sausage. My children were in heaven. Then they got there picture with the Easter Bunny and had an Easter egg hunt. It was fun.

My Little Man
This is a typical picture of my children. Alex looks everywhere but at me and Joey looks at his feet. The picture the school took turned out much nicer.
Here's Alex running out to the Easter egg hunt. It was very windy.
Believe it or not, Joey is in this picture. He's the little one in the middle wearing a blue coat.
