They can use every color for one egg or just one color. It doesn’t matter to me. Their creativity gets to shine!We were at AuntContinue reading “Easter in Northwest Arkansas”
March Madness-Our Style
For the last 7 or 8 years we have been filling out NCAA basketball brackets at our house. We started this now tradition when the twins were 2 or 3.
