Easter Brunch

We had a very Happy Easter this year! The morning started with all the excitement from the Easter Bunny's visit. Lucy & Kenzie had Easter baskets filled with toys & treats. There were eggs hidden all around the family room for Lucy to find. Some had coins, others had barrettes for Lucy's hair. She had a great time hunting and Kenzie helped her open the eggs.

Then we headed over to Nana's for Easter Brunch. Everything was delicious. Zoe & Ella set up another Easter egg hunt for Lulu in Nana's backyard. She had a great time finding the eggs the girls hid for her. It was so nice of them to think of Lucy and do something so special. The girls enjoyed coloring and playing together, while we enjoyed chatting and, of course, eating! Brunch was wonderful - thanks to Nana for hosting all of us. Here are some pictures from our wonderful holiday.

Quote of the Day

"Momma, come get cozy with me."

Garden Glory

We haven't been to Longwood Gardens in quite a while - since around Christmas actually. The cold weather and snow kept us away for awhile, but we finally got back for another visit. Lucy was so happy to see one of her favorite spots - the Italian Water Garden. The fountains were on already, which was great to see. It was still pretty chilly, so we took our time in the conservatory to enjoy the Orchid Extravaganza and had a great time. It was nice to be back.

Colored Eggs

Today we dyed Easter eggs! Lulu did a great job following directions and being careful with the eggs. She mixed colors and picked her favorites to share with Nana and Daddy. Lucy liked the pink and purple ones the best, but that came as no surprise to me.

Happy Birthday Ella!

Ella is 4! She is such an adorable and sweet little girl. I can't believe how much she has grown! Lucy & I went to her birthday party yesterday at the Y. It was a gymnastics party complete with balance beams, trampolines and mats to jump on for all! Lucy had a great time and was excited to see all the kids and her cousins.

All three of us also celebrated with Ella today. We went to their house for dinner. Lucy was so happy to get a double-dose of Zoe & Ella and I was glad for a chance to really get to talk with Amy & Paul.

Skinny Minnie

Lucy, like many toddlers and little kids, has trouble keeping her pants from falling down. She is quite slender and even with the tabs pulled tight, we still see slipping from time to time. Today Brian told Lucy she is a skinny minnie and she responded, "I'm not skinny minnie, I'm Lucy girl!"

Lucy & Izzy

Lucy & I headed out for a fun day with Isabel and Heather Nolan. It had been way too long for all of us girls to get together. We met at Starbucks for some tasty treats and great conversation, then over to the Museum of Natural History again. The girls had so much fun in the Nature Nook and posing as little critters. Lucy had missed Isabel just as much as I missed her mom.
