Easter Pie 2010

Easter was Eggstra special this year because Zach and Heather drove to Arizona to spend the holiday with us.  We had a wonderful time.

Dancing with the pies....

Playing games...

Little Boy Blue....

So many eggs....

More pie dancing...

Jacob eating yogurt....

Nothing like eating yogurt with your hands.

Although I can use a spoon.

Easter egg dying- looks like Justin has all the colors.

And baking sugar cookies along with a now traditional flour fight!

Look what the Easter Bunny left...

A deal is a deal....Easter bunny ears...

And an Easter bunny tail too!

The flight of the butterflies....

From tiny worm to beautiful butterfly.  5 butterflies get released.

Justin really enjoyed his chocolate bunny!

All too soon it was time for some last pictures and goodbyes to Heather and  Zach.

They are such a sweet couple.

We will see them in October for their wedding.

Happy Easter Pie!

South Dakota in February!

We had a wonderful visit with Gramma Kessler in South Dakota.

Gramma has lots of interesting things in her closet- like this china doll that Aubrey is holding.

Aubrey had a curler attack!

Jacob practicing his whistle!

And making some beary good friends.

Is it another bear? or just Grandpa Don.

Keep on Truckin'

Sweet sleepy pies in Gramma's bed.

And snuggles with Gramma

We had a great time!

Christmas vacation at Nonnies

After Christmas Kayt and Aubrey came home with me for a little Christmas Vacation.  We ended up eating lots of burritos.

Check out the great view of the mountains!

There were fun times in the hot tub. Lots of tangerines were consumed here too!

Another burrito lunch...those cravings are always getting the best of Nonnie.

Fun with Uncle Nicky and a soon to be habitat Christmas Tree...

It was sad to see the pie-time end.

Merry Christmas Pie 2009

We had a wonderful Christmas! Gramma and Grandpa Maas came for Christmas lunch and pie time.  We had a White Elephant gift exchange with lots of fun presents.  Of course the pies got lots of lovely gifts and had lots of thank-yous to write.

Christmas Eve we baked Gramma Kessler's sugar cookies.  Kayt and Aubrey were the decorators.

Jacob was eating cereal- dreaming of the days when he will eat cookies!

Aubrey got a plate of cookies ready for Santa Claus...some carrots for the reindeer too!

Later that night she confided that she really didn't believe in Santa Claus...she was just testing him with the cookies! :)

Christmas morning came and time for stockings. 

Not everyone is completely awake...seems somebody was up helping Santa...

Santa ate his cookies but left a banana?

Stocking surprises!

                                                                  Merry Christmas!
