We built a Frozen Lego Castle together, it took a while, but both of them helped until the end.
Mimi and Lily made these delicious strawberry cupcakes that everyone loved.
Granddad got a marble maze for Conor to put together with the girls. They enjoyed just stacking them.
Conor helped them build an actual maze further down, but they enjoyed just stacking them when he wasn't here to help.
We made a huge mess making cupcakes. They chose their own liners, then filled them.
Just a little bit was outside of the cupcake liners...
Their favorite colors this year are Blue for Lily, and purple for Rylee. I made icing in each color and they decorated their cupcakes. They were delicious. :)
They spent a lot of days working with Play-doh in the play shed.
They helped me decorate Rylee's birthday cake.
Here Conor is helping them put the maze together as intended.
More cupcakes - they will be pro decorators when they are older. :) By the way - Lily has on eye makeup that Rylee brought to share. Just so you don't think she has a black eye!
Rylee was concentrating so hard.
And the finished products! Not bad for a 4 and 5 year old, huh? Lily turned 6 in 2017, but not until May.
Rylee and I made pink Rice Krispy Squares one weekend when Lily wasn't here.
Lily moved into a new house this year and here is her bedroom:
Gage's 15th Birthday Pary
We all enjoyed the coffee toffee ice cream cake. <3 p="">
Rylee loved wearing her Easter hat - even before Easter.
Conor playing soccer with Lily.
Coloring Easter Eggs outside
Rylee got bored with it and so I didn't get a picture of her with her eggs that night.
But the next day at Mimi's house, she did.
Going through their baskets to find the good stuff.

Trip to Loveland Castle.
They had fun exploring the castle.
The stairs were so steep and Rylee scared me every time we went up and down. Her fearlessness stresses me out!
Rylee refused to sit and get her picture taken with Conor and Lily.
It's hard to get her to sit still for a picture most days.
Rylee announced her promotion to big sister:
And then the repainting begins - blank slates for both:
Pops helped by outlining things they requested so they could paint pictures.

This was just a nice day to sit outside, but they were watching videos on the phone.
Lily was missing her two front teeth at this point, so she was eating the peach with her side teeth.

The following 2 videos were done for me by my Google assistant on my phone. They are similar, mostly because both girls are in most of the videos together. But one highlights Lily more and one highlights Rylee more.
Lily's Video:
Rylee's video:
There were so many more pictures - but this is a highlight post and long enough. We have lots of fun every week they are here! So glad they enjoy coming over and spending time with us!
