Family Birthday Party for Sam and Mal

Another Sharer tradition is to celebrate birthdays as a family and also with friends. So on the twins' birthday, we had everyone over for dinner, cake, play and presents. The girls get sung to at separate times. As you can see, Mallory blushed when we were singing to her and Samantha thought it was great. The girls got bikes for their birthday. They also got backpacks, money for clothes, dog vet set, cat parlor set, and a slip and slide. They all had a great time playing outside with bikes and trikes. Both Samantha and Mallory picked up the bike quickly and just love riding their big bikes!

3rd Birthday-Donuts with Jemma!

In Sharer tradition, everyone has to stand next to the tree in the front for pictures on their birthday. Then we follow that up with a trip to the donut store to have a birthday donut with Ms. Jemma. This year we asked grandpa and Bubbie and grandma and grandpa Sharer to tag along. (Bryan had to work.) The girls all just love Ms. Jemma and she loves them all too. She is so good about remembering all the kids' names and asking about them when we're in her store. Such a fun tradition. The girls really enjoyed their big donut this year and the singing that accompanies it.

Easter 2011

Once again we hosted Easter at our house. It's just a holiday I like to have here. Everyone was here, the Sharers, Kiernans, Hilary Klotz, and both Johnson families. The kids had a blast playing together. They played in the front with the cars and trikes, in the sandbox, and on the trampoline. The Easter egg hunt was good. There were WAY too many eggs and the guys just started throwing them in the front lawn. The big girls had a limit and everyone ended up with tons of eggs. Dinner was great. All in all, it was a great day. And it will probably be the last Easter in Fox Pointe. Sniff...sniff... But next year we'll be able to get in the pool if it's nice!!!

Dying Easter Eggs

Another yearly tradition, dying eggs at mom and dad's house. This year Brooke and Preston joined us. Brooke also had a sleepover with Raegan that night. The little girls got into the eggs more than last year. And the big girls got creative with the eggs and attempted to tie dye them using rubber bands. Some of them turned out really neat!

Texas Bluebonnets 2011

We took our yearly bluebonnet pictures a few weeks ago. The girls were IMPOSSIBLE to photograph. Everyone looked in different directions and no one wanted to smile. But we did get a few good pictures. I've decided that next year I will drink before we take more group photos. :)
