Mother's Day

My mom and Memommy came to visit us for Mother's Day weekend, and we had such a great time. I really wished my sisters were here too, but we had a really good weekend. We went to the Arboretum and did lots of cooking and shopping- our favorite activities to do together:) My Memommy taught me how to make her homemade banana pudding and a few other yummy dishes. And Evelyn really loved playing with them and showing off all her toys and tricks.

It was such a great weekend having them here to celebrate Mother's Day. They are two of the best moms that ever were, and it's always so nice to have good quality time with them, especially since we live so far away. I feel very blessed to have grown up with these two women showing me what love looks like and how to someday be a good mom. And I am especially blessed for them to be such a loving part of Evelyn's life. It's so sweet to see Evelyn being loved on by the women I love most. What a perfect Mother's Day!

Easter

Easter is always one of my favorite holidays. I have such fond memories of Easter Egg hunts and dying eggs and dressing up in springtime dresses that perfectly coordinated my sisters:) And the past few years has been very special going to Nashville on Easter. We all make a way to get home so the whole family is together, and it's such a special time. This year was even more fun because we had a toddler to hide Easter eggs from. And she loved it. We ended up going to FOUR different Easter egg hunts- crazy I know. But I loved every minute of it, and so did Miss E. Especially because she got to snuggle her Papa. And because her Aunts spoil her every chance they get. Here's SOME of the pictures from our weekend, brace yourselves...
