We had a fabulous Easter with my family! We hunted eggs, made birds nests, planted flowers, ate yummy food and most importantly, celebrated the resurrection of our Lord! The girls had a blast playing together and spending time with family.

Oh, and that time that I left a piece of chocolate in Zoey’s Easter basket on the way home from the egg hunt? Oops. That was a giant, hilarious mess. 

Enjoy a huge photo dump today and a little fun yummy activity to do with the kids!! It doesn’t even have to be Easter to do this one!

Chocolate Birds Nests

(Makes 4 birds nests, increase recipe for the amount you need)

INGREDIENTS
4oz chocolate
1 cup small chow mein noodles
Coconut shavings
Food Coloring
Egg Candy (we used Reece’s Pieces Eggs)

DIRECTIONS 
1) Melt Chocolate
2) Stir in noodles
3) Divide mixture into muffin tins and allow to set (put in the freezer to help with this process)
4) Add food coloring to coconut shavings, or just leave it white

Let the kids add the grass and eggs!

If your kids are older, they can help with forming the eggs, but this is a great fun thing for even tiny toddlers!
A simple and fun craft for any age, and then they get to eat it when they are done! 

It was a great weekend.

How was yours? 

 Because sometimes a park day must double as a family photo op.

I’m too cheap to pay for a photographer/grandma was with us/we didn’t have a picture of the 5 of us together.

So there you go. All five of us!

We took a trip to Houston for Christmas to spend the week with family and meet our new baby niece! It was so much fun, and such an interesting trip with our little ones. Traveling isn’t the easiest with our girls, so a flight was entertaining. Jessi absolutely loved the airplanes and was amazing the whole time. Zo got pretty restless but still was great. I use the word “vacation” loosely because nothing is a vacation with two toddlers, but we still had a great time!

The girls LOVED their baby niece. Made me very ready to have our baby here! They are going to be amazing big sisters and so helpful for Mommy. Jessi just wanted to hold her all the time and was so sweet and gentle. Zoey was OBSESSED and just giggled and squealed any time she was around her. So much fun with all the girls!

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas! Happy New Year!

You read that right.
We have a beautiful name for our 3rd baby girl. But that’s all you get until she arrives on February 20th!

Merry Christmas from our family to yours! 

We took the girls to meet Santa yesterday!
They were a little less than excited, but that always makes for the best pictures, right? Right. Jessi hid behind a pole for about 20 minutes before she got up the nerve (aka, daddy holding her hand) to even go near Santa. Zoey was just mad. Overall, it was a giant success and Jessi was so proud of herself afterward for sitting with Santa. Big girl stuff.

Since they were SUCH champs and took a great picture for us, we took them out for a cupcake after! I’m thinking that was the highlight of the day for them, don’t you think?

 Santa, we heart you. But chocolate cupcakes? We heart you EVEN more! 

Hi, friends. I wanted to take a bit of a break from the blog for a few days but had to stop by and share some pictures really quick! We had a GREAT Thanksgiving! I took some pictures of the girls for Christmas cards and couldn’t resist showing off a few. I’m so thankful for my precious little family, and I adore every bit of them.

I ate a lot of food, so not only is my heart full…so is my belly.

Just so happy. 

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!! I love you all!

p.s. I’m offering 30% off of all Christmas Cards Friday – Saturday! 

What a great halloween! The girls loved dressing up in their adorable costumes and getting way too much candy! We took them downtown Edmond for the second year in a row and we loved it. They played games, dug through their buckets in the middle of the street, Zoey had her first piece of candy and they had a blast.

I’m not sure these costumes will EVER be topped, but I’m sure I’ll say that again next year when I see all three of my girls together!

How was your halloween? What was the best costume you saw? We saw a entire family dressed up as Mario Brothers characters and it was awesome!!
