Special Delivery from the BUNNY!

We were up and all bright eyed and bushy tailed come Easter morning :) Kenna woke up to finding what the Easter Bunny left her - she was thrilled!


She dug right into the basket and her one gift and had so much fun with the Elmo theme! The bunny really knew what she has been into these days ;)




She wanted to go right outside with her new chalk and Elmo slippers - even though it was cold, she still wanted to stay out there...



...so we had to throw a jacket and hat on! She wasn't too thrilled at first :)


But got used to the idea and continued playing!!!

Easter Festivities Part II

On Easter Sunday we had another fun-filled day! We started out meeting Grandpa Mack and Ian for brunch at RedStone in Eden Prairie. It was really yummy, but somehow we forgot to take some pictures :( Kenna did really well! She sat in a booster seat next to mommy and ate a TON of yogurt (and a lot of it got on mommy's shirt too!), she really didn't want much of anything else! She loved seeing the Easter bunny - so that kept her entertained!

After that, we headed over to "MOM" and PaPa's house to meet them all after their own brunch they had. We got there before anyone else so she could take a nap, but 30 minutes passed and she was up ready for some more partying!


Once everyone got there, we dug right into all the goodies that everyone brought for her! She had Easter baskets from Grandma and Grandpa, Great Grandma, Aunt Erica, Great Aunt Nancy and even her second cousin Kirsten! Her favorite part of the day had to be playing with the easter grass from all the baskets!





Erica got her a cookie monster which she loved and Grandpa Mack had gotten her a cookie monster that ate cookies earlier, so she was in COOKIE MONSTER heaven!



After all the goodies, we had lots of "KK" aka cake and treats and Kenna was able to run around with the other kids before we headed home to CRASH!!!!



It was a perfect Easter Sunday and a perfect Easter weekend with all the people we love!!!!

Easter Festivities

What a whirlwind of an Easter we had!!!!! 2 full days of celebrations with family - it was perfect, but utterly exhausting :)


Saturday, Nate and I hosted an egg hunt for his side of the family! All the kiddos came over and of course it had to rain that day, so the egg hunt was in our teeny basement, but it worked and they all had a great time. Heck, they didn't care, they still got tons of candy and goodies!







Kenna and I died some eggs for my deviled eggs recipe the night before - she had a really fun time just sitting by mama - her company made it all worth while!




We had a really good time and were so happy it was able to work for everyone, despite the gloomy weather.

Visting the Como Zoo

I ended up taking the day off on Friday after a long week at work and we took Mackenna to the Como Zoo for the first time this spring - with her another year older, she seemed to enjoy it a bit more and could actually look in the direction we were pointing at and see the animals and ask, "What's that?!" hundreds of times!




I think this was her favorite part however :)

Wacky Wednesday

It's wacky hair day at Pati's today!!! Here is what Kenna's hair looked like when we left home...


And an hour after drop off, here's what it looks like now...


Not surprised at all with my stubborn little lady :)

Twins Day at Daycare

For Mackenna it was Vikings Day :) For the Easter Week Pati decided to have some themes for each day and today was Twins Day, but since we didn't have anything that fit and we didn't want to just buy something for one day cuz Daddy says we're not a Twins house (HEHEHE) Pati also said we could also do any sports team, so we went with our mini MVC!!!! Mama's proud :)


Tomorrow is wacky hair day, so stay tuned as I'm sure we'll have some great pics :)

Easter Bunny Fun

We went to the Mall of America this past weekend for some fun with Grandpa Mack to ride some rides :) We ended up doing way more than that! We got to see the Easter Bunny which as you can see, she FELL IN LOVE WITH!




Such a sassy little lady - love this one!!!


And she was also able to meet 2 characters from the Wonder Pets (Nickelodeon) and she LOVED them - well she loved the chick and wanted nothing to do with the turtle...as you can see!






It was a great couple hours and from the look on Mackenna's face, she had a perfect day!!!
