Random Acts of Cuteness

There were so many cute, random shots from the last month. Here are some of my favorites!!

Aunt Heather took this sweet photo of Anna! Love it!
My bunnies!!!
The bunnies love each other!
The girls so enjoy painting!
So much fun!
...and for one little girl, it's also VERY MESSY! We always call Anna our messy girl and that may be the understatement of the century! Oy!
She's always quite proud of her ability to get as dirty/messy as humanly possible!
As messy as our Anna is, Claire is just as clean and orderly! They are so very different! The little bit of paint that is actually on Claire was transferred from Anna!

My b-ballers! Both my girls may have a chance of being in the WNBA someday with their height!

Ben & I took the girls to the Root Beer Stande for their first drive-in meal! They thought it was great!

A little messy, but fun and the food was yummy!

Having some outdoor fun! We're loving this beautiful weather!!

Easter Brunch

After our Easter service we all went to Scott's golf club for a delicious Easter brunch. The food was so good and it was nice that our mothers didn't have to worry about preparing food and there was NO clean up!!!!

The Cutting family including the soon-to-be new addition... Beth's fiance, Steven! They got engaged the day before Easter!!!

Nuna & Papa with the girls!

Grandma McDowell, Claire & Anna

Grammy & Papa

The "little girl" cousins! So sweet and so cute!

Easter Morning

We had such a beautiful Easter morning for more than one reason! The weather was warm and sunny and we got ready quickly giving us plenty of time for pictures outside! Most importantly, we were able to worship at church and give thanks for the death and Resurrection of our Lord! Hallelujah! The Easter pails were all ready for the girls!!

Anna loved all the candy in her pail!

Claire, surprisingly, seemed more interested in the Easter egg stone with her name on it!!

My sweet Claire!

And... my sweet little Anna!

My girls in their Easter dresses!

I love, love, love my girls!

My favorite people in the world!!!

Happy Easter!

EaStEr EgG HuNt - 2

The second egg hunt we went on was at Kirkmont Church. This was the third year we've gone and it's such a great egg hunt that incorporates Jesus' death and Resurrection into the fun with a puppet show and other fun crafts and games! We always have a great time and truly appreciate all the hard work that goes into this amazing outreach!

The sweetest moment of the day was when Anna saw a kid without any eggs in his basket and without any prompting, she took one of her eggs and put it the empty basket. She really is so sweet and kind hearted!

Claire & Caroline getting ready for their egg hunt!

Grammy said that Anna winning a big Easter basket was her reward for being so thoughtful & giving!

Anna & Catherine looking CUTE!

My big girl!

Claire was all about getting as many eggs as possible! She was quick!!!

Grammy & Papa with the girls and the creepy Easter bunny! Half bunny, half man!

EaStEr EgG HuNt - 1

We were able to go on two Easter egg hunts and we had BEAUTIFUL, warm weather for both of them. It was so fun!! The first hunt was at the home of Sherry, one of our friends from church. She was such a great hostess and was able to incorporate the true meaning of Easter into the party. The girls thoroughly enjoyed themselves!!! There was lots of time for fun play!

And of course... lots of great food! Claire & Caroline are pretty much inseparable!

So sweet... Anna & Catherine!

Most of the group! I think there were around 25 kids!!

Sherry explaing the resurrection eggs to the children.

Claire finding an egg on the hunt!

Anna sees an egg, too! So much fun!!!!

Grammy's Birthday

Last Saturday was Grammy's birthday. She was kind enough to watch my girls so that Ben and I could go to my Grandpa's funeral without having to worry about a 2 & a 3 year old. Thank you Grammy & Papa!! We celebrated that next day after church and had a wonderful time!

We are so thankful for the influence you have in the lives of Claire & Anna (and our lives too for that matter!!). Thanks for all you do for us! We love you!

Every year around Grammy's birthday her wildflowers appear, so we try to get a birthday picture with the pretty wildflowers!


Blowing out candles!

Happy Birthday, Grammy!
