We had double grandmas and grandpas for Thanksgiving. First Grandma Connie and Papa Morris came to visit. Then Grandma Judy and Papa Mike. We took them on a tour of the Gates building at CMU and went to the Carnegie Museum.

We walked to Squirrel Hill so Shane could get a haircut, and by the time we walked home there was a lot of snow on the ground. This was the snowiest February in Pittsburgh ever. We couldn't get the car out so we put on our snow pants and walked to CMU and then on to the Oakland Panera.

And suddenly it's spring! Hooray! Unfortunately, half of our neighbor's magnolia tree is still lying on the ground in our side yard (one of the casualties of the big snow). But it does make it easier to climb. We dyed eggs and had an egg hunt with our friends across the street.
