"spring" break...

sure, it is called "spring break", but by looking out the window or stepping out the door, we would have to call it "winter break part deux". Anyway, the withers family celebrated spring break last week together. We tried to get in as much fun as we could and relax, too. Here are just a few pictures of some of our spring break/winter break fun...

we created an easter (paint sample) banner and livia made a poster to match 

 barb brought over her sewing machine and taught us how to sew...

livia even made a pillowcase for her first project
