Ritter Sport Factory

After a warm week of 30 Celcius, Saturday was cold and rainy. So what do you do on a cold and rainy day - go and visit a local Chocolate Factory.

This is the kids favorite exhibt in the Ritter Sport Factory. Pay attention to the truck leaving the factory.

The truck leaves the factory drives to the front and dumps out a chocolate for you. Ashlyn is waiting rather patiently here.

Sydney watching her Chocolate make it's way to her hands.  Needless to say this exhibt was visited more then once by our girls.

Here is a Cacao Tree that Ashlyn enjoyed running around.  We also got little bags with Cacao nuts - but they never made it in a photo.

This here is a board with various advertisments over the decades.

The girls got more chocolate from the cashier in the shop on the way out - this is probably the 4th chocolate bar each.

Here are 2 very happy girls with the chocolate we bought at the shop - 2 kilos Ritter Sport Chocolate makes for a great rainy Saturday.

Birthday Celebraton

Here are some of the best pictures from Ashlyn's 2nd Birthday.  Decorations, opening presents, eating cake, her favorite gift (a Minnie Mouse umbrella), a picture with her sister and one from her party in the park.

Hope you enjoyed the quick overview of  her birthday.

Happy 2nd Birthday Ashlyn!

 My baby is now 2 years old.

Here is my sweet newborn girl.

Ashlyn on her 1st birthday. 

 Here is the big 2 year old with her favorite present - her Minnie Mouse umbrella.

We love you Ashlyn!

Kindergarten Pictures

Last week we got the Kindergarten photos back. This is her second year but last year they didn't do photos for some reason.

Sydney's pictures turned out great.  She is smiling, but still looks a little unsure.

Her close up.

We tried to have sibling pictures done but one girl was not too co-operative.

I love how Sydney has to hold Ashlyn to keep her from running away.

After the unsuccessful attempt to get both girls smiling in Kindergarten - I took the girls to a park and took a couple pictures myself.  Here is one of the best from the park.
