Dancing and Twirling

Anna and Hallie show off their medals from the dancing/twirling competition in Abilene.

Hallie and Anna were joined by cousin Natalie and Hallie's little sister Brooklyn for a post-competition celebration.

Easter 2013

Hallie (in purple shirt) and a friend prepare for the Easter egg hunt.

Hallie and her Easter bunny from grandma Thielen

I see a trend with the Thielen boys this Easter - blue shirt and tie.

Sam and dad Joey

More Brooklyn

And even more Brooklyn

Baby Paige was a big hit at Easter.  Anna held her cousin Paige and asked her parents for another sibling.

Anna, Paige and Kelly

Everyone held Paige. Sisters Emily and Natalie took their turns, too.

Front row cousins: Emily, Natalie, Hallie, Paige, Brooklyn and Avery. Back row cousins: Anna, Garrett and Sam. Leah was the only one of my GREATS (as in great nieces and nephews) missing.

The pig popper was a big hit with Avery.

We also celebrated Avery's 3rd birthday.
