Valentine’s Day Egg Hunt
I know you thought Egg hunts were for Easter, right? But at the Friesen house an exciting thing happened this week. Speckles, Ellie’s chicken started laying eggs. Ben, who’s attitude towards the chicken was hostile at first (“freeloader” was a word he used) now exclaims that Speckles is the greatest chicken ever. . . because she now earns her keep. Here are a combination of Valentine’s Day and Egg finding pictures. Ellie loves her chicken so much and looks forward to feeding her everyday, and now checking to see if Speckles made an egg.
Here are a few more pictures of Ellie and her friends from a Valentine’s day brunch our husbands organized at church. The pictures were taken just before the girls went off to the nursery so moms and dads could enjoy a romantic brunch. (PS: The baby I’m holding in the photo is not ours! Lucy Scarlett won’t be due for another 2 months).

For a chicken that Ben doesn’t like much, that’s quite the chicken coop. Those are such cute pics of Ellie, she looks so grown up. It scared me for a min. to see you holding a little baby…I thought I was really behind the times! Sounded like Sat was a lot of fun!

Thanks Beth, I made an adjustment to the post to clarify that the baby I’m holding is not ours. We still have a little time.

I can’t believe how much Ellie looks like a little girl now rather than a baby! That happened so fast! I love her pigtails.

Hola amiga… ¡Qué fotos tan bellas! Gracias por compartirlas. Ellie está ya tan grandecita. ¡Cómo ha cambiado! De verdad la niña es super linda (y me gusta cómo la has vestido para el día de San Valentín). Espero conocer a Lucy cuando Isaiah y yo estemos en San Diego para nuestra visita en mayo.
Saludos,
Mandy Freerksen
