Eggcentric Easter





With enough complaining you can usually get Andi to make you something you've seen another sister receive. Complaining in the form of great praise and adoration, of course.

That's how I got some eggs like Danielle's!























This is how they arrived, in a shoebox. The girl is clever!

Roughin' It, Monkey Style!

My own sock monkey to take along with me in the great outdoors.

For campfire entertainment, he played his accordion to great applause from the others.
Items he brought with him in his backpack... a map, raisins, marshmallows, (for s'mores, of course!) accordion for campfire sharing time, and a sleeping mask. It gets bright early in the morning when camping in the mountains, you know?
























Good night mountain monkey man!

Merry, Happy, Joy, Joy!





I had been admiring Andi's hand painted Christmas decor when only a week later, a set of my own arrived in the mail! Santa Andi gifts are better than anything I could buy.

Chocolate Bunny... YUM!





Each of us sisters have a bunny, but I was lucky enough to have been made two by Andi! This is my chocolate bunny that's been put to good use, with all it's movable parts and soft fleece fabric.











Andi's trademark, the personal stitching on the back...






















And this is the only bunny of it's kind, and it's MINE! Her thoughtfulness in adding our initials to each creation is what makes them extra cool!

Bean Bag Sillies

Here's a clip of Tatum, Danika and Colben playing with Andi's bean bags last August, 2009, when Alexis and the kids were in UT visiting. Andi and Ralph were packed and ready to move to Billings, MT so this was our last bit of fun at their home in Richfield, UT.

My copycat tablecloth

So Andi sent me a text picture with a tablecloth she was making Danielle and my jealousy kicked into overdrive so I hinted that I would LOVE a tablecloth like hers... a couple weeks later I got a package in the mail and I got one too!!!
Mine doesn't have elastic around the edges so that way each of ours was a little different.
I hope this won't be the last one I get from Andi cuz they're awesome and so easy to clean!!

The BEST pillowcases around

I love how Andi takes into consideration what her nieces and nephews are into and what colors are in their bedrooms to make sure the pillowcase fits just right!!!
Danika goes through a lot of phases and Andi is able to keep right up with what she loves at the moment!!
(trust me, it'll change soon!)
Colben's first pillowcase- Motorcycles!!!
Colben's 2nd pillowcase.... She included a note saying the reason why she picked this material is because it's the flags for each of the teams that are playing the Soccer World Cup. Colben loves soccer so it was fun to figure out what flag belongs to what country!!
Danika's 1st pillowcase-- Dora!!!
