It was soooo good to have Mama, Aunty Sylvia, Sara and Elle visit Bancroft for a whole week! Lily had so much fun with her cousins, Grandmere and grrreat aunt.
Elle and Sara were delighted to see snow in Bancroft again. Here’s Elle conquering what’s left of “Mt. Hale”.
We had a birthday party for the girls on Monday. The gifts I shipped to Texas in January were returned to me (it seems the Post Office likes correct zip codes) so I was glad to keep them and be able to see them open them in person!
We made chocolate chip cupcakes!
Elle has begun to spread her wings in the kitchen. She does come from a long line of super cooks (no, her aunt Aubri is not included in that line)!
Here’s the apron I made for Elle.
Lily loved playing with her great aunt Fafa!
Phil took advantage of having Elle around. She makes a really comfy chair.
And she’s good at gathering rocks out of snow piles.
We went down to the park to burn off some of the cupcakes, tacos, homemade pizza, waffles, bacon, muffins, cookies, burgers, pork loin, turkey, mashed potatoes, northern beans and biscuits.
For St. Patrick’s Day we made shamrock pins.
And we ate shamrock cookies!
One of the finished pins. They were all really cute, I just forgot to get a picture.
My girls in their festive shirts.
We all wore our green.
We went down to Omaha for a while on Tuesday. Look how much fun we had at Borders drinking coffee!
They turned out very nice.
Thanks for coming all the way to Nebraska ladies! I really enjoyed y’all being here. Come back again soon!Here are some more pictures of our week:http://picasaweb.google.com/aubrih/SpringBreak2009#
