Cincinnati Easter

We spent Easter weekend in Cincinnati with the Hamiltons this year! We headed down on Friday and came back on Monday. It was so great to see all the girls and Jennifer and Dan. Sorry for all the pictures, but I wanted to share a little something with you from each day. We hope everyone had a great Easter!

This was on Saturday morning...all the girls!  And yes, that is Norah trying to get on her hands and knees.........and her FIRST TOOTH POPPED THROUGH THIS WEEKEND.  Such a big girl!

Norah loved playing with the Little People set that the girls had.  Emma and Norah had so much fun playing together!

We headed to the Cincinnati Zoo on Saturday.  It was dry enough when we got there to get a picture of all the girls.  Unfortunately, Mother Nature had a different agenda that day.  About an hour later we were running back to the cars in the thunder and pouring rain.  We still had a great time and Norah loved seeing the animals.

Love this picture of Emma and Olivia



Daddy and Norah on the train ride around the zoo....Norah was just taking it all in!



On Saturday evening the girls colored Easter eggs

Easter morning
So excited to find all their Easter goodies from the Easter Bunny

"Look at all the goodies the Easter Bunny brought me!!!  Socks, books, food and a toy!"

"Hey, I think there is money in here!  How do I get it out?"

Norah got in bed with the girls on Monday morning before the girls got ready to leave for school.
We had such a wonderful time and made lots of great memories for Norah's first Easter!  Thanks for everything Hamiltons!!!!!  Love you all! 

Happy Easter....a little early

Just a few more Easter pictures I wanted to share with you!!! We hope everyone has a wonderful, relaxing Easter!!!! So excited to celebrate Norah's first Easter. More pictures to come!

Little Helper

I had a TON of laundry to catch up on the other day and luckily I had a little help to get it all folded!

Geez Mom, I'm not sure we can get this all folded!

Don't worry, I have this under control!

My job here is done!

Easter Preview

It was ABSOLUTELY beautiful here today...in the 70's...so I took Norah outside in her Easter dress for an Easter photoshoot. This is just a preview! I had to save a few for the Easter card we are sending out! Stay tuned!

I had to do a few black and white....even though I love her bright dress!

Urlaub

We took a little 'mini' vacation to Frankenmuth this past weekend. We left on Sunday and stayed overnight. When we got there on Sunday the weather was terrible, so we couldn't walk around the shops in town, so we decided to head to Bronners for a bit. It was perfect because there was no one there; no crowds to fight with and we could just enjoy our time. Then we headed back to the hotel, fed Norah and then headed to the Frankenmuth Brewery for dinner. It was delicious and Norah enjoyed the yogurt the waitress brought her. On Monday morning we got up and headed to the pool. This was Norah's first experience in a pool and she loved it! I know she is going to love it this summer! We went back to the room, cleaned up and headed to the outlets for some much needed retail therapy. Norah was sooooo good all day; quite the trooper for all the running around! It was fun just getting away, even if it was for one night, and spending some time together. Great way to start my spring break!

Just having a little snack before we head to Bronners!

So THIS is Santa Claus, huh?

Norah kept looking up at the ceiling.....so many fun things to see!

All bundled up, ready for our trek to the Brewery for dinner!

Day 2 of our mini-vacation:  Getting ready to tackle the pool for the first time
