Hallie and Ella in Hawaii! (The girls were in such a rush to get in the pool the first day-Ella took off her cover up and had her suit on backwards! It took a while to get her out and convince her to turn it around-it didn't bother her!)

Peter, and I had a really fun "becation" in Hawaii with Hallie and Ella. It took us a little longer to get there, but we had a great surprise visit with Mary and Dan and their kids in Vancouver- overnight with no luggage! The next day us and all our luggage arrived in Oahu, and straight to the pool we went, and played in the pool and ocean all week. The girls got along great most of the time, and had so much fun together! Hallie learned how to swim on her own, and Ella lived in her life jacket. The girls missed Claire so much- they were always thinking of her, and wanting to buy her things. They were cheering when our plane was landing in Calgary to see their Claire! Peter and I missed her too, but it would have been hard to have her there- plus she got spoiled by all her Grandparents, and Great-Grandmas at their houses. Nonna had a hard time giving her back! We all missed her, but enjoyed being busy swimming, shopping, eating, and some relaxing with Hallie and Ella!

Easter

Easter

We had a great time at the cabin over the Easter weekend. The highlight was obviously the Easter egg hunt! Lots of candy for the long ride home! The girls were so excited for some cousins to finally arrive for our last night there to hunt with, and then have a fun ski day together! Claire was in love with baby James, but so gentle, and tried to be so helpful, and get him what he needed, it was really sweet. We also have some neat pictures of a night when it was just starting to snow in our backyard with a group of deer walking through.
