We were really surprised that she stayed still; I think it helped that David held the mirror for her to see herself.
She was very patient and looovvvved watching herself. When it was done, she kissed herself in the mirror!
Gianna has figured out how to "play" the harmonica. I especially like how she vocalizes as she plays!
Enjoy!
Spencer finally lost his first tooth! When Spencer woke up this morning - he found $2.00 under his pillow! 
After spending a good portion of the day outside - we decided a dinner at Applebee's was in order. This is just before we left for the restaurant....are they cute or what!!!!!!!!!!!
I can't believe how grown-up Gemma is looking. She's lost the "little girl" look!
Here is my handsome boy - he too is looking so big! Time goes by too quickly - he'll be 7 next month!!!
(Note the Fairy Wings...Gemma put those on her before we left the house! I thought they were an adorable addition to the outfit!)
Here is Gianna waiting to be seen by the doctor. She decided to have a little snack while waiting!
Here is my littlest princess just minutes after getting 2 shots! She did great and most importantly - David and I really like the clinic and the doctor. This was definitely a great move for us!
Our neighbor has a 2 year-old grandson and for Easter he received a playground. 
This is Gianna's preferred activity. I try to take her for a walk in the yard or to play on the swing set, but she always ends up back in the dirt....
They each got a few pieces of candy and a couple of small toys. Gianna got these really cool crayons from Crayola and a dum-dum lolly pop. 
After 4 hours, I finally had everyone bathed and dressed and ready to head out to Gino and Linda's house for Easter dinner. Once we arrived, the kids found out the Easter Bunny had left baskets for them there too! And there was an Easter egg hunt! What fun!!!
Here is Gemma searching for eggs.
Spencer looked so handsome in his pink Lacoste shirt...I found it at a thrift store for $1.99!!!
After all the eggs were found, I was able to round up the kids for a photo...they look so sweet!
Today, Gemma received flowers from her daddy for her birthday. David is unfortunately not able to celebrate with her because he of his 2-week annual tour. He had a talk with Gemma about a month ago to let her know that he wouldn't be here on her birthday, but we would celebrate it early . Gemma was fine with this, but David was not. He decided the best thing he could do was send his little girl flowers. (Whoever tries to date and marry this girl is going to have some big shoes to attempt to fill!)
On April 10, 2001 at 11:37 pm - David and I were blessed with the arrival of this precious little girl. We named her Gemma Marie.
Here she is on her first birthday...just 6 weeks later, she became a big sister!
This is Gemma on her 3rd birthday.
Here is Gemma in December when we went to Macy's annual Christmas display.
While Gemma was recovering on the couch, Spencer went outside to play in the snow. I'm glad I took the photos while he was outside; by 3pm - all the snow had melted! Hopefully we won't see anymore until next fall!!!!!!!
Gemma and daddy sharing a quick snuggle!
This is when we first arrived to the bowling alley. Joshua (in the middle) is our nephew and lives in the suburbs. I have no idea what it up with the signs he is "throwing"....
Here is Gemma with some friends from school.
Mommy and her girl!
Here is Gemma with grandpa and nonna. My mom left early and I didn't get a pic with her...I'll have to do it next week! Anyway - we had a great day and it was great spending it with friends and family.
