Clara's birthday

We didn't really do much for Clara's birthday. We just went to my in-laws for dinner and cake, and we gave Clara a cupcake to smash. Actually, as I recall, I had planned to make dinner at our house, but everything went wrong and we ended up there because they had food on hand. Hahaha. Oh well! It turned out fine in the end.

That face! Hahaha. The bliss!

Playing piano

My cute little prodigies.

Chocolate

 

Dan's mom loves to give the kids chocolate. And she loves it even more when we don't want her to.  Hahaha.  So of course she gives it to them all the time. These pictures pretty much say it all.

Trampoline fun

Hannah and Clara both love the trampoline at their grandparents' house. And they both love playing with their cousins. So this day was pretty much the best day ever. It was a bit on the cold side, as you can tell from the pictures, but they had fun anyway.

 Believe it or not, that was a happy face. Hahahaha.

Swim lessons

We put the girls in swim lessons back in January, thanks in LARGE part to my parents for helping us out. It started in January and next week is the final lesson. In some ways it has been difficult, because we are in the 12:00 class every Saturday. A lot of the time, Clara is super tired and ready for a nap by the time we get there, and then all she wants to do is snuggle and go to sleep. We've had some rough weeks with her. Hannah had a few rough weeks too, though not as many as Clara. She really didn't like it when we started taking her under the water, but she finally got to be okay with it, mostly by pretending she is a mermaid. The day these were taken, Clara was having a bad day and Hannah was having a good one. Overall, the girls have both enjoyed it a lot and have come a long way. We're ready for summer!
