Mom's birthday weekend

Step 1: wash and dry strawberries
Did you know that hairdryers are an excellent way to dry strawberries?  Chef Vi knows all the tricks!

Step 2: melt chocolate

Step 3: dip strawberries in chocolate

Step 4: surprise your mommy on her birthday with chocolate-covered strawberries!

All the girls are ready for church on Mommy's birthday weekend

...and the biggest (and best surprisingly) gift of all, a minivan!  We had our reservations, but life really is much easier in this car with two children.  You spend a lot more time in the car that you think!  Vi likes the van because she can stand up inside and do ballet while she (a) either sings to the Frozen soundtrack or (b) watches Barbie and the Pink Shoes on the DVD player.  Lily likes it because she can now look to her left and see her big sister, at whom she stares at the entire time we are in the car and gives little smiles.  We can also invite friends to go places with us now because the third seat allows room for more people and carseats.  Yay!
