Hoppy Easter!

Happy Easter! The Easter Bunny came to Baba's yard this morning (he's afraid of Ajax, so he sticks to her side of the compound)..

Zoe and Maya had a great time hunting for eggs (Zoe figured it out quite quickly):











Then they found (and loved) their Easter Baskets inside:









PS. I apologize for the lack of "Easter outfits". It takes an act of Congress to make my children to get out of their pajamas!

Zoe's almost two!

Zoe turns two on Thursday, so a few weeks ago I had to snap a few shots for her birthday invitations!

March: Venezia!

A couple of weeks after we got back from Atlantis, Maya went on an awesome adventure. Jacket came down on a Wednesday afternoon, swooped her up, took her to NY where they met up with WaiPo and flew off to Venice (in business class, no less!). Maya was an excellent traveller and slept 7 hours on the plane. They got there and took lots of walks, saw lots of bridges and gondolas and ate a LOT of gelato. I left on Friday night and got there Saturday morning to spend a day and a half there and then fly Maya home-who was a great traveller on the way home too-probably better than me!

March: Atlantis

In the beginning of March, we decided to take an early spring break and head to Atlantis with our friends, Aimee & Matt and their daughters, Amelia and Ruby. We thought it would be a great idea to take a vacation with one of Maya's friends so that she would be entertained. It WAS a great idea! The girls had a blast and the adults did too.

January: Disney World

Our trip to Disney World was great. We left on a Wednesday morning and got to the park in time for lunch with Winnie the Pooh and his friends. This was our first foray into character meetings since the last Easter Egg Roll and let's say that I was a bit nervous to see how they went, since Maya's been known to cower when someone dressed up comes over. To say she loved it was an understatement and Zoe loved it too!





Onto our first ride..Dumbo the Elephant:



And a random character meeting:



After an afternoon of rides and exploring, off to meet Cinderella and her stepsisters, stepmother and Prince Charming:





The next morning we got up, braved the cold and headed to Chef Mickey's for breakfast:









Then headed to Animal Kingdom:









And then made it back to the Magic Kingdom to meet Rapunzel:





The next morning (friday), we headed to the character breakfast in our hotel (Cape May Cafe):



Then headed to the Bippity Boppity Boutique for Maya to get styled for her princess lunch:



Then we headed to Epcot to for the lunch at Askershus:









We decided to hang around Epcot in the World Showcase for a bit..had some gelato, met another character and had dinner.







Day 4, we hit Magic Kingdom in the AM for a few rides...





Then it got so crowded, we decided to bail and head back to Epcot to meet some more characters and get Maya's book filled:









And finally...Day 5 (Sunday) saw us back at Magic Kingdom for a few hours to go to Cinderella's castle for breakfast and get some last rides in before heading to the airport:









Phew! That was long-now you know why it took me so long to post it!
