Easter Friends

Our daughter, the dentist:

"Say ah!"

"Ah!"
"Good job Averie!" (Rachel's buddy downstairs)
The three amigos (all born within a couple weeks of each other). All of them are looking at me while I take the picture except my daughter who is staring at the boy......oh boy.
I can't blame her, Spencer is a cutie. And this is a look of "Uh-oh, she caught us holding hands"
We are lucky to have some pretty awesome friends who invited us over for an Easter Egg hunt! Thank you April! Anne loved finding the eggs with the "reats" inside of them. Daddy was a good helper :)
Ahh...those eyes.



I just love the colors in this picture. Her cute little apple hat.
Anne and her buddies. See if I can get all the names right....Sam, Matt, Nicco, Anne, Cooper, Emerson, Talmage, Jocelyn, London, and Tennyson. (left to right)
With the mamas. What a great group of gals :) Genn, Me, Allyson, April, Andrea, Brittany, Jenny, Lee (also left to right)
And the newest addition to the Russell clan...Benson! Our newest nephew was born in February and is just as cute as his two big sisters :)

We were very blessed to be able to have my Mom and Dad and also my sister Michelle and her son Harvey come visit for a week! Harvey is just a month older than Rachel and it was very cute to see them play together. What a stud :)
Anne liked saying "Har-ey" and loved his adorable head of hair.
Michelle and her little bunny.
Happy Easter!

A nice way to start the morning.

I had a lot of fun making the girls' Easter dresses this year.
Zac, we make some good looking kids :)

Anne was a little hungry before our Easter dinner so she started without us.
Yay for family :) Becky, Katie, Anne, Zac, Mom, Dad, Lucy, Kenric
Hoppity hoppity.
Our new addition....welcome to the family Shizzy! We picked up our new pup a week or so ago and we love her. She is a very calm, loving, happy dog and is just right for our family. Anne doesn't have much else on her mind besides playing with her.

Rachel likes her new buddy. Shizzy just rested her head on her lap even while Rachel was pulling on her ears. She just sat there and licked her.
Zac is very excited to finally have a dog.
Anne giving Shizzy kisses.

Anne went over to the couch and grabbed her beloved blanket and put in on Shizzy so she could sleep. So much love in that girl's heart.
The kids loved having Grandma time! We just wish she was a tad closer so we could have it more often.

Stories with "Ma" as Anne would say. We are so proud of our big girl who immediately loved her Ma and Pa and was sad to see them go. She said today that she wants to "Fly me Ma Pa too!"
Rachel just loved her Grandpa.
