Happy Easter Everyone!

We have been very busy and will be back this week with

some new posts!

Hope you had a great weekend!

Weekend

We had such a great time when everyone came

to visit for Miss Lainey's birthday party!

It is always so great to have family around.

We miss everyone so much.

The girls absolutely love having their cousins around.

Molly and Gigi hiding from the camera...

Everyone thinks it is fun to play in the crib!

Auntie An love.

After Lainey's party we headed down to 

Main Street St. Charles to shop

 and have lunch.

We had a delicious lunch outside!

We were so happy that it stopped raining and warmed

up a bit!

The kids had a good time playing around on anything

they could find!

The girls were pretending to put on a show.

They are quite the performers!

Grandma love.

The girls loved petting the horse!

After St. Charles, we headed home

and took a little walk.

It was so nice to be outside for a bit!

Can you believe how big this boy is???

We had dinner in and had

our favorite pizza!

Lainey loves Gigi so much!

Then it was present time!!!

Lainey got so many nice things!

Every girl needs a leopard dress!!

As always, Grandma is so thoughtful and 

brings presents for the big kids so they don't

feel left out.

Minnie even showed up!

Modeling.

All done! 

Now I can climb in the bag!

We had such a great weekend with everyone!

It went so fast.

It is so nice to be surrounded by family.

Thank you everyone for Lainey's gifts and for being here!

A Minnie Party.

I was very torn when I was trying to decide

what to do for Lainey's birthday party.

I wanted to have a party, but I figured she would not

be comfortable with a big party.

So, I decided to have a small ice cream party

with just our family.

I've known since we went to Disney that she was 

going to have a Minnie Mouse party.

My good friend Pinterest did not disappoint! 

Seriously, Pinterest is your best friend when planning a party!

Pink! Bows! Glitter!  How can you go wrong?

Minnie suckers.

I chose Oberwies Dairy for the location.

We had the party at 10:30 am so we were the only ones there.

I was so happy with how these centerpieces turned out!

Everyone got a hat, just the kids got gloves.

I did adore the hats.

The goody bags and table cloth are really the 

only things that I can claim as my own idea.

For the goody bags I cut out the minnie heads from glitter paper and 

bought premade sticky bows (wedding section @ Michaels)

For the table cloth, I cut circles from a white tablecloth and glued

them on the pink one.

So simple.

I wanted to make sure that even though

it was small, it was still special.

She is such a special little girl.

I love this one...

We really missed all the rest of the Dallner Family,

but we were so happy that Uncle Jeff was

able to come down!

The girls love Uncle Jeff so much!

Yay! Mimi!

Doesn't Addi look so cute with his party hat on!?

The suckers were a big hit!

I think my girl ate the most ice cream of anyone!

Hey, its her party, right?

With sucker in hand.

Sometimes dipped in ice cream.

We are so thankful that everyone made the trip

to make this party a special one!

Love from Auntie An!

Bingo was a big hit!

Uncle Baron was excited to win!

This Girl...

is such a beam of sunshine,

loves babies, her sissy, 

will sprint to get you a boo boo buddy,

rubs her sissy's back or hair when she is hurt.

She is truely such a wonderful little girl.

I am so proud to be her mama.

These kids.

They have my heart.

Just a little secret telling.

Love my family.

The Gambrels!

We were so happy Grandma came!

We love spending time with her so much!

My ladies.

Just a friendly game.

We had such a great time at the party!

Everything turned out the way I saw it in my head.

Can't ask for more than that!
