Pinkalicious and Happy Easter!

Saturday Dad and I took the girls to their first play, "Pinkalicious the Musical" put on at the DePaul Reskin Theatre. Grandma met us at the theatre and Aunt Stacy (who got us the comps) was there with her grandkids. The play was really good, a little different than Pinkalicious the book but Mia loved it! She was glued to the edge of her seat and focused on the entire play - we lucked out, Annie took her nap on me during the play. We took the train home and during dinner, Mia repeated the entire play back to us telling us her favorite parts. It was a fun day downtown.


Friday night after Annie went to sleep, we dyed Easter eggs. Mia had a dozen to color. We wrote our names on each egg, even Charlie and Bosco had an egg.





Happy Easter to everyone! Sunday morning the Easter bunny came to our house and left the girls their Easter Baskets(they got new swimsuits, sidewalk chalk, new bubbles, little egg cars, books/coloring book)...then hide eggs all over for the girls to find. We went to church, took a nice morning walk with the dogs then met mommy's side of the family at Santorini's in Greek Town for Easter lunch with everyone. The girls had a great time, Mia had dolmades and Annie had greek lemon soup that she loved. We cracked red Easter eggs (Grandpa George won) and had yummy dessert too. The girls both received Easter baskets with lots of goodies from Grandma/Papo, Great Aunt Stacy and Grandma's friend Pat. We came home and Mia blew some bubbles out front before we headed inside to play a bit before bed. Annie has been walking like crazy, taking up to 10 steps at a time and then doing this crazy bounce on her knees, moving about 10 inches then screaming with joy - its super cute! She has been babbling like crazy too - lalalal, mamama, daddadad - we laugh because she calls Mia "mama".
