Easter Fun

shannon — Tue, 10 Apr 2012 21:39:16 +0000

We had a busy weekend and I wanted to share some pictures and such since it’s been so long since I blogged. We started the weekend with an Easter Egg Hunt at our local park and followed that with an Easter Bonnet contest held by our favorite photographer. Attached are the kiddos with their entries…I accessorized Libby’s hat with “button bunnies” and Mike crafted Cooper’s bird nest/nature hat.

From there, Libby and I went to get our hair cut and we were able to donate a little over 8 inches to Pantene’s Great Lengths campaign. More Easter fun ensued as we dyed eggs, let Cooper take his first (very quick) dip in the hot tub, had a sleep over at Nanny and Papas and celebrated more with both sides of the family today.

DAWGS!

We’ve had a busy but fun-filled few days. We are lucky enough to have both sides of the family in town and we’ve been on the go-go-go! Tonight I went to Hinkle Fieldhouse with my Dad, brother, sister-in-law and nephew and we cheered the Bulldogs onto victory!

Merry Christmas to all

Special thanks to Nanny for helping to sew the final product…and thanks to pintrest for the idea! Nanny also helped to make this shirt for Libby and I’m hoping to make this one, too.

We rode the Polar Express!

Enjoying the book before our arrival at the “North Pole”.

Dinner with Santa

Last Saturday Nanny and Papa brought Libby to dinner with Santa at Connor Prairie. A good time was had by all:

Cooper enjoyed a “guys night” with Mike while I enjoyed a girls night out with friends in Fountain Square. A good time really was had by ALL!

Snow!

We got our first snow yesterday afternoong/evening and the kiddos were excited, especially Cooper.

Yesterday we also had our elf on the shelf visit. Libby named him Scott and after about 7 hours with Scott on our mantle she proclaimed “I don’t like him here watching me. I don’t want presents from Santa; I want you and Daddy to buy my presents.” Niiiiiice. She was thrilled to find Scott again this morning.

Blessed

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday to my sweet husband, amazing father and all around great guy! Emily and I have planned a fun night for our birthday boys (Tim and Mike share the same birthday). . .we’re heading south to IU for a delicious dinner, a few drinks (maybe some sink the biz @ Nick’s), and to see Jon Stewart at the IU Auditorium. No doubt a good time will be had by all!

vintage photo, but it’s one of my favorites.

Can’t believe it’s been over a month since I posted…I’m slacking, but blog is just taking a lower priority than all the other stuff going on. I am trying to get an organized meal plan for next week – here goes:

Gnocchi with summer veggies (I add sausage)

Baked Chicken Penne

Tortilla and Black Bean Pie

Corn and Chicken Chowder
