Summer has Begun!

Hi guys!

I had such a fun weekend...and I want to show you what we did!

On Saturday morning we went to Tate's Strawberry Farm to pick strawberries with some friends. I wasn't really into the berries...but everyone else seemed to really like them. 

 

It was SO HOT on Saturday that we decided to take a dip in the Orono Community Pool! I had never been there before, but Mama assured me that not much had changed since the last time she was there...over 20 years ago! It was very refreshing! I mostly sat on the edge of the kiddie pool and splashed my feet in the water. I'm not sure about this whole "swimming" thing....

On Sunday, Mama, Dada, and I went on a road trip to Camden to see our friends the Rhoads family! Emmie is exactly two weeks older than I am. She's pretty cute, isn't she?

 

My cousins had a good weekend, too! They got a PUPPY! Meet Mac, the newest member of the Sonnenberg family!

 

Easter

Hi guys! Vilee here! The Easter Bunny came to our house! And Nanny and Pup's house, too! We all looked for eggs at our own house, then went to Nana's to look for what the Easter Bunny left there. 

Hunting for eggs is SERIOUS business!

Doesn't Ian look dapper in his bow tie? He's by far the cutest boy baby in the family!

Ian didn't really get the whole concept behind finding eggs. He did manage to put four in his basket....but it took him a really long time.

It was such a nice day out that we played on the swing set! Look at Ayda jump!

Ian ate an entire chocolate rabbit all by himself! He did get most of it in his mouth...

Mama was sick ALLL DAY LONG! In fact, she could't even eat Easter dinner with us! Know where she hung out? On the back steps! She fell asleep laying in the sun. She said the smell of the food made her sick. I guess she was tired of laying in bed alone....

On Monday Nana and Papa took us to the pool at the University! Mimi and Shane brought Ian, too, but he was NOT happy about going into the water. I don't know why he wasn't having fun...because I sure was! Isn't my swim suit pretty?

Papa Turns 60!

Guess what everyone?! Papa turned 60 today! Vilee thought he was 3 and I thought he was 39. Ian didn't say anything...which is totally typical.

We had a cake for him! Check it out! We all helped blow out the candles!

Ian doesn't look excited, cause he doesn't really get birthday cakes yet. 

After cake, the little ones had really chocolatey faces. So Mimi put them in the tub! Nana gave them bubbles. I'm a big kid, so I didn't get in with them. I take showers now, just so you know....

This is Vilee saying, "Cheeeeeeeeeeese!"

Wanna know who has the next birthday in the family? ME, that's who! Can't wait!

Christmas Recap

So Christmas came and went....in an ice storm! The Brooks-Sonnenberg-Perry family had a blast! Here are some photos of our celebration.....

We spent Christmas Eve at Nana and Papa's house with Aunt Sally and Uncle Mike.

All of the kids helped decorate Nana and Papa's tree. Papa got Ian some books!

On Christmas morning, Ian and his parents went to bring Grandma her present. Grandma looked rather fetching Christmas morning and was happy to see little Ian all dressed up like a big boy in his sweater vest.

Vilee's favorite gift was this pony from Nana and Papa. She named him Pedro, and he is now a loving member of the family.

Aunt Sally made Ayda this adorable hat and coat. It fit perfectly! Ayda really loves putting it on and modeling for the camera...

Ian got a lot of trucks for Christmas....which is great because he loves playing with them!
