Mother's Day Traditions

As soon as Lilly could sit up, Michael had her outside planting flowers with him. Even though at that time she hated touching grass! This tradition has continued as he takes the kids and buys flowers for our outside pots for me for mother's day every year. The kids enjoy digging in the dirt and we have beautiful pots on our front porch the rest of the summer. I love that they do this and they love doing it!

Our other tradition is going to the Topeka Zoo with Josey and Denise. We have fun looking around for a couple hours on Sunday morning and then feasting at The Olive Garden. The Topeka Zoo is just the right size for little ones as by the time they're worn out, we've seen everything!

Easter Fun

We colored eggs on Saturday and Lilly and Andy both enjoyed it. Andy was finally old enough to "draw" on his eggs and loved watching them change colors.

On Easter morning, we found the baskets and as you can see, Andy was already on his way to getting for church. They are so cute when they pose these days together, although what you don't see after the last one is Andy screaming and hitting her to let go.





After church, the Snook family made the trek back to Meriden for lunch at our house. We ate and then had the Easter Egg Hunt. Unfortunately it was raining, so we had to improvise and do the hunt in the basement.

Absolutely love this picture of Andy and Aunt Cara. They were under the table looking for eggs!
