The Announcement

This is the card that we sent to our family sharing our little announcement...

It worked well, except for a little mis-timing by me (and maybe USPS). The announcement was spread over three days instead of all at once.

Beach House, day 2, continued

She wrote this all by herself! :)

Notice Ellen's pants. She LOVED stomping in the tide pools.

The next two days are a black hole of the stomach flu. There were no pictures. You're welcome.

Beach House, day 2

Spring Break - Beach - Day 1

The last four days of Spring Break we headed to Long Beach (WA) to stay in the Wason's cute little beach house. The first two days were a bit stormy, but we still had fun.

Dyeing Eggs

...yeah, I did realize that they should be nearly naked...

Dunkfest = just keep putting the eggs into the various colors (because it's fun) until your mom cuts you off.

And, voila! Multicolored eggs:


Afterward the girls hopped into the bath. I couldn't remember any explicit warnings, so I tossed a pink & purple dye in with Emily (Ellen took a super short bath. Uncharacteristic, you say? Well...she had something else on her mind.)

This is what Ellers remembered. I promised an after-dinner cupcake.

Yes, you read that right. She went dinner-egg dyeing-bath-dessert. She was bound to get messy again anyway.

Ellen's party--the cake (finale)

The flame concerned her a bit...she called on Emily to help.

Silly girl: wants her cupcake cup up so that she can eat it with a fork.

(Cindy--notice the glow stick clutched tightly in her fist?)
