Hoppy Easter!

Yesterday Mila participated in two egg hunts.  

The first one was at our favorite grocery store, 

Mariano's, in the River East neighborhood.

There may not have been many eggs for the children at Soldier Field 

last weekend, but there were TONS of eggs here!

 Our lucky little girl even found a special egg

 and won this great prize basket!

 Later, we walked over to the wonderful Smith Park for crafts,

time with the Easter bunny and another egg hunt. 

Mila was NOT a fan of the Easter Bunny!

She was a big fan of all the candy though!

 Happy Easter!

Egg-Stravaganza at Soldier Field

Last Saturday we braved the chilly air 

and spent the morning at Soldier Field

so Mila could participate in the annual 

spring candy grab.

 After waiting in the stands for quite a while,

with LOTS of other eager kids and parents...

...we finally got on the field.

 Everyone made a crazy dash to the candy!

Mommy quickly grabbed some for Mila,

 and threw it out for her to pick up after the commotion was over, 

otherwise she might have only gotten a piece or two.

 In the end, it was fun to be on the field, but from now on we'll

probably stick to our neighborhood egg hunts.  

We have a few lined up for next week...stay tuned for pictures :)

Key Lime Cove Birthday Girl!

Since she enjoyed it so much last year,

 we took Mila to Key Lime Cove in Gurnee, IL again

to celebrate her 3rd birthday...she loved it and so did we.

 So happy together.

 Enough pics, let's hit the water park!

 Mommy is 20 weeks! Halfway there.

Wet and wild girls.

 Pulling Daddy's heartstrings bathing suit.

 Weeeeee!

 Mila loves when the giant, water-filled pineapple tips over.

 Chocolate ice cream, Mila's fave.

Birthday gifts and a cupcake were waiting for Mila 

when she woke up on Sunday.

 Make a wish!

 Cupcake for breakfast...only on her birthday!

 Just what she asked for, new play dough!

(Mommy won that giant ball for Mila in a claw game!)

 A special jewelry box for our little fashionista.

 Mila wanted Daddy to read her new Chipmunks book right away.

 Thanks for the cute bathing suit, Grandma Lynn!

 Daddy's girl.

 Mommy's girl too.

 Feeding all her ripoff arcade tickets into the machine.

 Making her birthday crown.

 We can't believe our baby is 3!

Mila had her picture taken for the Birthday Wall 

in the arts and craft zone.

And of course, a stop at the Jelly Belly factory store
