Fun with Sisters!

 Charlie all tuckered out at the Natural History Museum and showing off his poor scab.
 Austin's "completo": Bun, hot dog, BBQ chicken, potato salad, and grilled pineapple. Yuck!
 Grace got a new hat, backpack, and badge at Take Your Child to Work Day.
 She LOVED being a science writer for a day!
 On the Metro headed to the office.
 Recording a podcast.
 We saw Benjamin Franklin and Albert Einstein at the science expo.
 These cousins had SO much fun together this weekend! Jensen, Luke, Grace, Alice.
 Charlie really loved playing with his boy cousins!
 Only 10 days apart in age, Eliza and Alice were best buds.
 Hmmm, very interesting.
 Eliza, Katie, and Alice: fairy princesses.
 Luke and Grace spent the whole weekend protecting their magic crystals.
 Jensen was a wolf, scaring the little kids.
 Charlie's scab came off yesterday, and he's looking better already!
 We forgot to bring a bib for lunch at Whitney's.
 Alice insisted on going to the playdoh station at the science expo.
 She made a boat:)
 The kids loved the Magic School Bus at the science expo.
 Picking my nose.
 No, that's not me in the space suit;)
 Grace wanted to find a picture of her and Luke together as babies, so they looked through her baby book.
 Still friends a few years later.
 Paul put together a hovercraft from a kit they got at the science expo.
 He blew up a few extra balloons for the kids to play with too.
 Practicing with the hovercraft.
 Eliza loved her balloon.
 They all did!
 Due 3 days apart!
 Austin has always been kind of a shrimp.
 Ruiz and Gabrielsen families.
 My couch cushion obviously had less support in it. Whitney is NOT that tall.
 And, sideways. Whatever.
 Uncle Paul.
 Darius in his blessing suit.
Cute kid!

Easter with the Burtons!

 Cute kids on the stairs. Charlie is chowing down on a marshmallow.
 His pacifier and his softy blanket usually work to calm him down when he's crying.
 "I love cake batter!"
 After Grace's haircut, the girls decided they were twins, since they have the same length hair now. They dressed the same, and Alice said, "People will think there are two Alice's in our family!"
 Awesome.
 "Alice, let's be the temple!"
 "Now we're the Angel Moroni!"
 Grace's cute campground she made out of paper. The stapler is an RV!
 Alice found everything Cinderella-y in the house!
 Happy for once.
 This is how he's been most of the week.
 And this is how Alice has been.
 And how I've been.
 With Grace, you never know.
 Pre-haircut (in a swimsuit).
 Post haircut.
 The next day, I curled the girls' hair, put make up on them, and painted their nails.
 She looks older!
 Alice wanted a full-scale photo shoot.



 Silly sisters pictures.



 Easter baby!
 First time meeting cousin Addy, their first Gabrielsen cousin. The kids LOVE her!
 Charlie's too cool to show it.
 Look at that alert little angel!
 At the town egg hunt.



 We went on a walk around the lake after. The girls love Lynne and Kit!
 Dyeing eggs.

 Easter Sunday.





 Egg fights.
 The feast.
Devilish!
