The Royal Wedding!

We were not invited to the Royal Wedding in London - but we were invited to the next best thing - a fabulous party hosted by Molly's friend, Lucy, to watch William & Kate tie the knot!

Here is Lucy greeting us early this morning at the front door in her fancy tu-tu!

Molly had literally JUST woken up . . .

Lucy even had crowns for Jacob, Max, Brooks, & Molly to wear!

They REALLY enjoyed their bagels and scones!

After about 2 hours of inside play while the mommies watched the beautiful wedding ceremony - the babies had had enough! They were dying to PLAY OUTSIDE again!! Thanks for a FABULOUS party Sarah & Lucy!!

Easter Weekend in Plano!

The three of us flew to Dallas for a long Easter weekend with my brother Brian and his son, Lucas (6)! Molly had not been on a plane since she was 5 months old but flew like she was an old pro! Here she is drinking water and staying hydrated as the plane takes off . . .

Brian just bought a new house last year and it is BEAUTIFUL!!

After we arrived, we went to the park where Lucas could fly his kite and Molly could "kick" the soccer ball . . .

Molly LOVES going down the slide!!

Lucas had a little batting practice with dad and Uncle Mike - Molly and I watched from behind the fence . . .

Lucas & Molly played together all weekend!!

The beautiful drawing Lucas made for me . . . he did this fish all by himself! Definitely fridge worthy!!! :)

The Easter Bunny came to Plano!!! So fun to see Molly get "into" it this year!! She was so excited to see the Easter Bunny brought her a CAR and a BALL!! Love the squatting action here . . .

The Easter bunny even brought Molly eggs to find!

Carrying her basket - looking for eggs . . .

Ready for Easter mass!

After mass, Molly took a nap - here she is just waking up and coming to see where Lucas is . . .

Watching Lucas ride his "big boy" bike!!!!

Kissin' Cousins!

We played LOTS of Rummikub . . . and Lucas beat us most of the time . . .

Molly LOVED Lucas' Elmo chair!!!

Brian dropping us off at the airport on Monday - Molly (nor myself!) did not want to go!! Thanks for a FUN weekend Brian & Lucas!! We love you and miss you already!

Molly & Friends - Easter Party!

Molly's friend Brooks invited everyone over for an Easter Egg Hunt & Party the other morning at his house! It was so FUN and all of us moms loved seeing ours kids dressed up and looking for eggs together!!

Molly opened up the 1st egg she found and saw they were filled with Goldfish crackers - so she decided to just stay put and eat her crackers - instead of actually collecting more eggs like the other kids!! :)

Brooks' mom, Maggie, had the most adorable table display for all of us to enjoy lunch together after the hunt!

Molly relaxing and eating a snack . . . What a FUN party! Thanks for inviting us Brooks!

Molly's 1st Easter Egg Hunt!

Cutest. Thing. Ever.

My mother's group at church (Mothers of Young Children) hosts an Easter Egg Hunt every Spring for all our little ones. Molly had a great time, but I she think was a little overwhelmed with all the kids, doggies, eggs and swings in one place!

Molly and her friend, Caroline.

Favorite pix! Can she carry any more??

Molly spotted the swings and ran as quick as she could to get over there, stripping off her sweater on the way!!

Checking out her loot - fruit snacks and stickers!
