Tulip Time!

The Tulip festival is in full bloom down in Mt. Vernon. Danielle and I met some of my friends there and walked through the beautiful fields and ended with lunch at the brewery. It was great to catch up with old friends!!


My little angel!


My favorite, the pink ones... there weren't very many in bloom, but it was still pretty!


We had to stop to wave at the tractor.


Hunter and Danielle running through the fields.


Stop and smell the flowers!

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter Everyone! Hope you all had a great weekend. We went down south on Saturday and spent the night at Nana's house. We always have a great time there. The weather was quite nice so we went to our favorite park near her house. We also invited some of our friends over who we haven't seen in a long time. It was so nice to catch up!! Today we woke up to a down pour of rain which meant the easter egg hunts were inside. Danielle had a blast hunting for the eggs and was very spoiled with two egg hunts and two baskets!! It was a great weekend spent with family and friends. Now bring on the SUNNY DAYS!!!

Here are a couple cute photos from our egg dying session at our house on Thursday. Danielle LOVED doing this so much, that it makes me think I should find an art project that involves dying/watermarking.

Having fun!!

Nana made Danielle and I matching aprons because Danielle is such a big help in the kitchen these days. She even made one for herself!! Thanks Nana!

Sunday.

Danielle all ready for the easter egg hunt at Nana's.


Finding all the eggs and giggling every time she found something...


Look I found another!


Danielle checking out her easter basket!!


We went puddle jumping for a minute and Danielle was showing me her favorite thing she got today. It's a lamb purse. She stuffed all of her jelly beans in it and carried it around all day.


The fam! :)


GG reading the girls a book they got in their baskets. I guess Sundays are silly hat days.

A moment of SUN!!

Last week we were blessed with a couple days of sun!! We made the most of it as much as we could. Since it was spring break for Danielle, we went down south to stay Kim and catch up with some friends we haven't seen in a while. After a fun filled day at the castle park, we went to GG's and dyed easter eggs!! We had so much fun that Danielle insisted we do it again at our house.


Playing with chalk! Avery's favorite thing is to do hop scotch.


My monkey girl!


Danielle and Avery getting dizzy on this twirling toy.


teeter totter!!


We picked cherry blossoms and put them in our hair. They thought it was really fun to have flowers in their hair and be "princesses"!!


Checking out the pretty flowers in the mirror when we got home.
