We went to Chicago for Easter this year. We headed up Thursday evening after school. We haven't done the trip since Thanksgiving, which is a very long time for us. At Thanksgiving time it didn't seem to take us that much longer, I guess because Stella was so small and we only needed to stop once and she slept most of the time. This time was a different story. We ended up stopping 3 times and it took us 75 minutes longer to get there. The ride there was much better than the ride home. Poor Stella was so tired and wouldn't sleep. I think she slept a total of 30 minutes on the car ride home & that was even with me sitting between the two carseats. Oh yes, a sight to see for sure!
We had a nice visit though. On Friday we did a little shopping and had Lou's for dinner. That evening we hung out with the family. On Saturday afternoon we colored Easter Eggs! Nora had a great time coloring them and picking the colors she wanted them to be. Naomi enjoyed her self too!
Saturday evening we headed to Uncle Dan and Aunt Alice's house for Easter. They were so nice enough to have it on Saturday so we had the chance to see everyone! Aunt Rena was also there. She hadn't met Stella yet and Stella gave Great Aunt Rena lots of love! It was such a beautiful day that I couldn't pass up the opportunity to go outside for some pictures.
Nora was totally posing for me! It was great. And yes that is Stella sitting up! She is doing that all by herself now. She is almost 5 1/2 months and is sitting on her own. She is also rolling both ways now! Very proud of our little girl. She is growing like a weed. We go in 3 weeks for her 6 month appt.

We got home Sunday evening about 7:30 and the Easter Bunny had been to our house. There were easter eggs in the front yard and some play balls as well. I wish i had a picture of Nora's face! It was great. And inside there were gifts too! She was so excited! I love this age and the excitement it brings. Hope everyone had a great Easter as well!
