Easter Twenty Eleven

We started our Easter weekend activities with an Easter egg hunt at Meme's and Papa's. The girls had plenty of eggs filled with candy and money. I thought this was the best photo, we had just done a posed picture sitting on the trailer and my dad grabbed the hose and pretended he was going to spray them....It was off to the park later that afternoon b/c it was so super nice outside! It amazes me how different Ali's physical capabilities are from one year to the next. Last year she could barely do this log roll and this year she can last a few minutes....

About the time we were headed to bed on Sat. evening my parents were headed to Easter vigil mass. They looked so nice......
Easter morning before church.......
and the official family photo, don't we clean up nicely :)

Please tell me.....

How does her smile go from so sweet and natural,
to so big and cheesy?????
***Please note the Easter Egg kit we used this year said 'Fun without the Mess'...well, I tend to disagree. After scrubbing red Easter Egg dye out of my carpet for 30min. and then using the multi-washing method to get it off our hands....I think not!!!!****

Wedding in Chi-town!

We headed off this weekend to Chicago for a weekend o'fun! Friday included shopping on the Magnificent Mile, shopping that is for Alison..as for me and Chris, well, we have the memories :)
The American Girl store was a HUGE hit!!!! Gourmet popcorn was a HUGE hit!!!!
Getting Molly dressed in her new digs right there in the store!
Molly in her new swimsuit and Alison!

Saturday was a lazy day at the hotel. We did get some swimming in and visiting with our friends Andrea and Robby who only live a few minutes away! The wedding didn't start until 6pm so an afternoon nap was definitely in order for two ladies that I know :)
The wedding was amazing!
The happy couple...Mr and Mrs Terry and Jean Plunkett

So, so, so much fun! They rented a photo-booth! Best invention EVER! Lots of laughs looking at those photos! Congratulations to Jean and Terry! We are so happy for you both.
Grandma Fifi and Grandpa Bobby were dancing fools!

Alison was a rock-star and partied the night away until 12:45am! I think her favorite parts were the M&M's, mints, chocolate fountain, pudding, ice cream, and cake! She did eat some spinach first, I promise :)

The sugar high!
and the sugar loooowww! or maybe it was nearing bedtime :)

Sunday was the Legoland Discovery Center....fun, busy, something different! The car ride home was very quiet as one little girl I know slept almost the entire 3 hour trip :)

"Just like Daddy"

did this post title scare you at first???

Well, it shouldn't! How adorable is she?!


This shaving kit was a Christmas gift after she LOVED shaving with Daddy but Mommy didn't think real razors with the guards on was such a safe idea ;)
and yes, when you are four, you shave both your mouth and nose!
