Happy Easter

Happy Easter Everyone! I showed you our dining room and living room decorated for Easter earlier in the week and here is our family room. We didn't do much but I figured I would show you anyway:

 

The hot chocolate bar finally got put away although we did keep the chocolate chips out for Lillie and I to "sneak".

Unfortunately the coffee table only looks like this about half the day. Lillie and Lola's new favorite game is to taken everything off the table and first have a "party" (not sure what exactly makes doing this a party but they've been playing it every day for weeks now) and then after they have their "party" the last couple of days they have started racing some of their cars on the coffee table.

Last Easter we brought our little munchkin home from the hospital!

I hope you have a blessed Easter!

Happy Easter and a SALE

 

I just wanted to wish you all a beautiful Easter Sunday! I tried to take a few shots of the girls all dressed up SUPER quickly as we were headed out the door yesterday for an Easter egg hunt. I got one (above) where they were at least both looking at the camera and then the rest pretty much looked like this:

Lillie did smile sweetly (after donning an Easter bonnet my aunt sent her) for about a minute... 

...and then she kept telling me she wanted to make "funny" faces:

        Christ the Lord is risen today, Alleluia! 
 Earth and heaven in chorus say, Alleluia! 
 Raise your joys and triumphs high, Alleluia! 
 Sing, ye heavens, and earth reply, Alleluia! 

   Love's redeeming work is done, Alleluia! 
 Fought the fight, the battle won, Alleluia! 
 Death in vain forbids him rise, Alleluia! 
 Christ has opened paradise, Alleluia! 

-Charles Wesley

Just a Quick Hello

Just wanted to pop in and say I hope you all have a lovely weekend and to wish Jason a Happy Happy Birthday!

I will be back Monday with some pictures of our family room and a new pillow!

Lillie and Her Princess Shoes

A few weeks ago Lillie was sitting on my lap as I was working on the computer and saw a preview for these "Genevieve" shoes from Jessica at Joyfolie. Unless it happens to have a Disney princess on it, I have never seen Lillie get excited about shoes or clothing but she was absolutely enthralled with these and started asking every day if she could get a pair of "those beautiful sparkly princess shoes". Well, last week they arrived and she was thrilled. Of course as soon as we got to Colonial Williamsburg she wanted to take them off because she "didn't want to get them dirty".

Hmmm....deciding if she's going to let me take some pictures...not looking very promising.

Actually, why not? Watching Mommy try to take pictures while bouncing Lola up and down in the Bjorn, balancing the diaper bag, Lola's water and feeding her cheerios with one hand while attempting to not drop the camera and snap pictures with the other hand is always a good laugh.

Some of my favorite pictures of Lillie are in shoes that Jessica has made for her. We called these ones her little George Washington shoes. They were adorable!

And I think these are my all-time favorites:

Joyfolie has grown leaps and bounds and they are now manufactured instead of handmade and sold everywhere from Anthropologie to Piperlime! Some of my favorite shoes on Jessica's site now are the "Kat" shoes (and I love that the print is this Shakespeare quote, "And though she be but little, she is fierce.")

I also love these "Luna" shoes: (and read below for a special Dear Lillie discount on these!)

And check out these Maci Spectator Boots:
