Easter Weekend

We had a very busy and fun Easter weekend.

It kicked off on Saturday morning with an Easter Egg Hunt at Todd and Ashleigh's. MB was very excited!

The kids were tired of pictures and wanted to go get eggs!

On the hunt!

She collected a ton of eggs.

Family pic...in between finding eggs.

They had a moon bounce, complete with slide.

Wheeeeeeeeee!

Saturday afternoon we went to friend Will's birthday party. Mary Beth loved the hula hoops!

A fire truck came to Will's party!

MB waits for her chance to sit in the truck.

She said, "I want to push buttons, Mommy."

Making a fireman's shield.

Easter morning...finding all kinds of goodies in her basket.

We dyed some eggs!

Testing out the sidewalk chalk that came in her Easter basket.

Decked out in her Easter finest.

Checking out all of the activity on Monument Avenue.

It was a fun but exhausting weekend.

Trip to the Zoo!

On Friday we hit the Richmond Metro Zoo with friends Will and Chloe.


Checking out the tigers with Will.

Looking at the turtles!

We got to feed the giraffes. MB had no fear...just like patting Ivy.

They are aggressive suckers!

Taking a look at the monkeys with Will.

Getting ready to ride the train!

On the train ride with friends.

Such a fun day!

Holding hands with Chloe, the only way we could get Mary Beth to leave.

We had hoped to post pictures with the Easter Bunny, but...

Big girl on her bike!

Weekend in Massanutten

This weekend we went to Massanutten, a ski resort in the mountains of Virginia, with the McDermotts.

Mary Beth and Sean had so much fun together, especially sharing cupcakes on our first night there.

Massanutten has a huge water park. The kids loved it (and the grownups had a lot of fun too!)

MB tries out the water slide in the toddler area.

Splashing around.

Sean goes down the BIG slide!

The whole crew on our last morning.

MB chatted about our adventures on the car ride back...

Birthday Song

Happy 2nd Birthday, Mary Beth!

We had a busy weekend full of birthday activities...

It started with a 2 hour marathon building Mary Beth's new kitchen!

We celebrated at daycare on Wednesday, where Lisa had cake and presents for MB and her friends. It was a relief to find out she still loves cake!

Getting ready to dive in.

Sharing cake with her good friend Sean.

Then on Saturday we celebrated at our house with lots of family and friends.

Jillian Fines and Casen Dukes hanging out.

MB digs into her cake.

More interested in eating cake, than getting a smooch from mom!

Playing with her new easel with friend Bohdan.

We had beautiful weather on Saturday, so the party moved outside. Mary Beth enjoyed a soccer game with cousin Conner.

Taking a break to play with some of her new books!
