Happy Easter!

We have had SUCH a busy week! I didn't get a picture of it, but Ava and Isabel took their 1st bath together on Wednesday night. I'm not sure that Isabel enjoyed having Ava share her tub with her, but she was a good sport, and even shared her bath toys with Ava! (For those that don't know, Isabel is the daughter of Tiff and Darren, our very good friends.)

On Thursday, I went to a very fun happy hour (a.k.a. a "throwing-away party" - not going-away party - for my boss.) She's leaving us to take on another group at BI. Although, she'll still be our director, she'll be sitting in a different building now. PARTY at work!! Just kidding, Terrie. :) )

On Good Friday we didn't have daycare, so Ava and Mommy spent the day together - she is such a good little girl during the day...I often wonder how it would be to stay home with her full-time. Maybe one day...




On Saturday night we went to an engagement party for our friends Julie and Casey...it seemed that everyone wanted to hold Ava, and she started getting a little nervous. But, since it was her first time in a bar, I can't blame her! There was just a lot of noise and people - I think she was happy when we left for home. But while we were there, we had fun. We can't wait until their wedding in WI this fall!

Finally, we celebrated Easter with Scott's mom's family. Here are a few fun photos from today!

Our egg-coloring experience...some of them turned out really weird looking...


A few treats she got in her Easter basket...a bunny, purple sunglasses and socks


She didn't really like wearing the sunglasses - we tried MANY times to get them to stay on!

Ava and Tatiana (Ava's cousin - second, or first, once removed...I never know how that works)

Tatiana was so good with Ava today!
Ava started to get a little cranky, so Grandma Deb was trying to calm her down. Notice how concerned Tatiana looks!

We had an Easter egg hunt in the backyard (Ava had a little help from her Mommy), and then all of the kids got treat bags! Ava received a book (which she LOVES), bubbles, and a bouncy ball!

Hope your Easter was happy!

Snuggly Warm

By
It's the time of year to be cozy, so there's nothing better than sitting in front of a warm fire, reading a good book/watching a good show, and enjoying the glow of the Christmas tree. Even Pria thinks so! Pria was avoiding the vacuum earlier this week...she loves to be on Ava's bed! Getting cozy inside of a little fortress After a fairly busy week at school, work, and extracurricular activities, we all enjoyed a night at home on Friday. G and I built gingerbread houses (they both look a little sad, but we had fun), and then we all played Tractoropoly for a few hours. Turns out that G was stockpiling money, so we need to figure out his secret on how to save! Love Ava's face and hand placement here And we can't forget all of the treats that George brought this week! Sunday, December 10 "Can you get a bullseye?" Monday, December 11 "I'm brining Christmas Cheer, by singing loud for everyone to hear!" Tuesday, December 12 "Don't be the o

Barbie & George

By
We had a fun week to wrap up November. Last Saturday, Scott and I enjoyed a nice dinner out, and then a spontaneous trip to Home Depot...and we got some new exterior Christmas décor! But more important was the time spent together. Plus, it started to snow, so the view from the restaurant was beautiful (but the drive home was a little sketchy.) On Tuesday night, Ava and I headed out to the Mall of America to experience the Malibu Barbie Café. We had a blast exploring the area, eating the yummy food, and then shopping for a bit. It was a wonderful night evening spent together. Even the drinks were pretty! My Avocado Toast & salad Ava's Paradise Pancakes On Friday night, my book club gathered for our holiday party and it was a blast! We had such a good time chatting, eating, drinking, and finished off the night with a book exchange. I cherish and deeply appreciate the friendships that have developed with my neighbors because of this book club. And to really kick off the holiday se

State Fair 2023

By
The end of summer is officially here (although, not by calendar standards, as G likes to point out.) The Minnesota State Fair 2023 kicked off on Thursday, and we were there to cheer on the RHSMB. Per tradition, they were the first band in the parade on the first day - what an honor! We're so used to long parades, that when the whole thing was past us in less than 15 minutes, it was a little shocking. Due to copyright issues, I can't post any video of the band online, but trust me, they were great! We ate the perfect amount of fair food that we weren't stuffed, and since it was opening day, it was a little less crowded than the weekends (which was a great thing for us.) G did so well this year, and didn't complain or beg for anything. Now that he's older, it's much easier to bring him places like this, and we can all enjoy it. We even managed to meet up with my friend Emilie who was there for a work event. It was great to catch up for a few minutes, and take a br
