Caroline's Baby Dedication

Today we dedicated Caroline along with 4 other babies at church. We had a lunch then the ceremony. Even though she growled through the entire service she looked so beautiful in her all white dress. When I look at these pictures of her my heart just swells at how beautiful she is. I know all moms must think that their daughters are the most beautiful but mine truly is. Her big blue eyes and olive tanned skin just shone so bright against the backdrop of a simple, but elegant dress. If I feel this way about her in a white dress now I can't even imagine how I will feel when she is walking down the aisle in her wedding dress. At least I got a while to prepare.

My Girly Girl!

I had to post a few pictures of my "girly girl". Due to the fact that Caroline has an older brother most of the time she plays with cars and boy toys. Every so often she'll grab her purse and necklace and prance through the house. I finally snapped a few shots of her showing off her bling bling. At heart I think she'll remain a tom boy but every so often even tom boys feel the need to dress up.

Easter Best!

I snapped a few pictures of the kids wearing their Easter dress clothes. We all wore green this year. My kids might be filthy most of the time but they clean up nice!

Easter Morning

So the Easter Bunny came to visit last night. Connor & Caroline both slept until about 8:15 this morning. Craig & I were up at 7:30 just waiting on them to wake up. They both had a good time looking through their baskets and eating the candy left for them. Connor's favorite's are a tow truck and a little blue bunny that poops jelly beans. (Thanks, Nannie for that toy!) Caroline really liked her new sunglasses and Dora book.

A Coloring EGGStravaganza!

The night before Easter we decided to color Easter eggs for the Easter bunny. This was my first attempt at coloring eggs since becoming a parent. I remember having lots of fun dying eggs as a child and I wanted my children to have memories of coloring eggs as well. So we took our kits over to The McDonald's house so we could share this experience together. Connor was "all boy" about the whole thing. Instead of neatly using the egg dipper to drop or remove his eggs from the dye he used his hands. There was dye everywhere. He really enjoyed putting the stickers on the eggs after they dried. We took the eggs home and carefully laid them out for the Easter bunny to see. All in all it was a messy but enjoyable experience!

Hoppy Easter!

We took the kids to see the Easter Bunny today. They both adored him! Caroline kept staring up at him and trying to grab his nose. Connor sat close by and smiled so big for us! They were really cute!

"Connor Daddy"

I just had to share this picture we took of Connor while he was playing with Craig's shoes. He kept referring to himself as "Connor Daddy." He is just so . . . cute you wanna eat him up.
