Easter 2015

This year we spent Eastern in Rock Hall, Md. The girls did an easter egg hunt in the back yard of the Sharp's house and made a killing. Only in the Eastern Shore can you find eggs in crab traps! Candy all day! 

Sophie in Disney

This very lucky girl got to go to Disney for her birthday, thanks to her Nana and PapPaP.  From the hundreds of pictures I have, here are just two...

Sophie and Ariel (the joke she's telling her we will never know)

Happy 5th Birthday Sophie!

This year we celebrated Sophie's birthday in the same venue we did last year - Philly InMovement - a kids gym.

Sophie's "big" present this year was gum! She wasn't allowed to chew it until she was 5 and she got a big pack of bubble gum in her birthday bag. 

Sophie Skiis

This winter Dave took Sophie to Spring Mountain (more of a hill) to try skiing. She got the hang of it pretty quickly, with Dad as a guide, and enjoyed 2 days this winter skiing down the mountain.

Sledding

One of the best things about the new house is the sledding hill in the back! Sophie's friend Drew came over during one of the first big snow falls and took full advantage.

Happy 2nd Birthday Lauren!

Our happy girl Lauren turned 2 at the end of December. Before the Christmas break her class had a birthday celebration in her honor.

Ariana came up to Philly to celebrate her first and Lauren's second birthday. 

Merry Christmas 2014!

This year we got a Christmas tree for our house - the first in the new house - but spend actual Christmas in Virginia. Here's a shot of the girls decorating the tree.  Many ornaments, very low. 

The girls in a loving Christmas moment. Perhaps they were moved by the prospect of presents... 

The cousins Christmas morning. Poor Ariana was sick and very unhappy.
