Chicago Bound

We took off to Chicago to visit Tara and her family over Spring Break for a night!  My parents kept Luke so it made it much easier in regards to logistics :)  The kids were excited to see their cousin Harper and explore Chicago for a bit!  



 They loved showing Dad their Cubs gear when he got home from the game :)
 Shedd Aquarium dolphin show


 Ice cream party for my parents anniversary!!


 Crazy kids breaking the playground rules!


 Luke's first bike ride!!
We all LOVED the egg hunt our church had for the kids!  They brought home entirely too much candy from the egg hunt, watched a super talented juggler, and danced with the Easter bunny!  Luke was fine staying back and taking it all in until the bunny looked right at him ... then we got this ADORABLE face ;)


 A hate this red car shopping cart for many reasons (germs, hard to steer, etc...), however, I caved because these two looked so cute when they hopped in so quickly!
 How is it possible my preschooler has a crush?!?  On a recent playdate at the park, this is what went on!!  Lord, help me!  I'm happy Daniel decided to chaperone ;)

 Luke checking out the crocodile at the zoo :)
 The kids are helping to give Grandma Abair and Sister Angelita a tatoo :)

 Aunt Sally is getting her tatoo from the artist herself :)
Happy Easter!! xoxo

Happy Easter!!

 Flower Girl!

What a beautiful Easter Sunday!  How can Easter not be wonderful when you have a 74 degree day filled with sunshine, family, and a great Easter mass!?!  The Easter Bunny came to our house a night early because I couldn't wait any longer and I also thought it would elminate some of the craziness that usually occurs even on a typical Sunday getting ready for church. It worked out great and was so much fun!!  After mass we went to my parents and enjoyed a wonderful meal and fun times with family outside!  I absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE watching the kids run around to find eggs during an egg hunt.  Their faces are pure JOY!

We jetted off to Florida for Natalie and Andrew's wedding!  It was a quick and busy trip but we all had a nice time!  Callie enjoyed some good Mom and Dad time for sure :)  The wedding was beautiful and we are so happy we were able to attend!  Best of wishes and congratulations to Natalie and our new brother in law, Andrew!!
