Out and About in Brasilia

It's hard to believe that in a few short weeks, we'll be moving from Brasilia to Rio.  We decided to take a little picture-taking outing to one of Brasilia's scenic points to help capture our time here in Brazil's capital city.

Ready to head out

 Isla...never one to hide her opinions

 Just being sweet girls.  I'll admit, we turned quite a few heads. 

What was that you were saying about smiling, Mommy?

  I think we'll probably miss BSB, but are definitely looking forward to Rio!

Isla Turns TWO!

 Yesterday was my birthday, I'm now a big TWO year-old!

It was actually a fairly low-key day.  Avery and I shared cupcakes....

 ....and then had a Packing Peanut Party.

Overall, not a bad way to start off another year!

Easter Weekend 2012

We've been gearing up for this fun and candy-filled weekend all week, and now, Easter has arrived!  We spent Saturday morning meeting the Easter Bunny, and hunting eggs with many other kids from the Embassy.

...There was also face painting and a cupcake decorating station.

The three of us girls "hopped" into a picture with the Easter Bunny.  At least Isla didn't cry!

Then, it was off to the Egg Races!

Isla wasn't too sure about the whole hunting for eggs idea...

...but, she quickly learned the work had its rewards.

Mmmmm....Jelly Beans!

Since Isla was such a sport, I gave her my cupcake. (Can anyone say sugar rush?)

She thought that was a very fair deal.

Sunday morning, we had a treasure trove of goodies waiting for us!

It was all we could do to wait until we'd eaten breakfast before diving into all that chocolate!

Then, it was time for Easter Sunday church.  Just a quick pose in our dresses and bows.

....and thoughts of more chocolate and bunnies!
