Madd Max Have A Happy Easter

Arrival home to Easter baskets.

An arrival complete with dyed eggs from Taisie's house.

The first clue.

Max begins the hunt.

Maddie works a theory on her own clue.

Ant Uncle really raised the ante this year with all sorts of coded clues.  The West Coast Kender-Pages only added a coded final clue to their hunt.

Hmmm.

Max loved it.

Madd Max Have A Sleepover

At Taisie's - the first since the pandemic began.

Which meant Sam and Jess got their first solo date since the pandemic began.

Dinner and movie.

Slappy Wraps Up Her Birthday

Some Poquito Mas and Page birthday cake minus the chocolate chips.

And a Taisie on FaceTime.

For some cake singing. 

Welcome to teen hood!!

Slappy Is A Teenager

This is 13.

With breakfast crepes from Sam.

Morning present opening.

Maddie has recently become interested in Billy Zane in Memphis Belle. Her presents reflected her latest passion. 

Tearing up after opening a card that gave her the purchased version of Memphis Belle.

Yup.

A little brotherly love.

Madd Max Heads To Pine Mountain Club

To catch a few snow flurries.

And to hike The Enchanted Forest Trail again.

The fam walked by their old inner tubing site.

That same area two months prior,

Sam.

And a roof panther.

Madd Max Make The Honor Roll

Max made a toast at dinner, "To the nerds!"  Their nerd parents are very proud.

Side note - Maddie is wearing Jess' shirt.  Sigh.

Slappy Has A Piano Recital

"Mooooooommmmmm."

Taisie got help folding laundry, while we watched the other kid's performances.

Even Mimi tuned in from the East Coast.

"The Snow Castle."  

She was great, and surprised Jess because she had no idea Maddie could play like that.
