    Breakfast with the Easter Bunny....

    Saturday morning we got up bright and early to go to breakfast with the Easter Bunny! We weren't quite sure how Hannah would react to the bunny because she was NOT a fan of Santa Claus but the Easter Bunny was a whole different story. The minute Hannah saw the Easter Bunny from across the room she was mesmerized, she kept pointing and smiling until finally he made his way over to our table to say hello!

    After the initial greeting with the Easter Bunny, we had some breakfast then got in line to sit on his lap. Pointing and smiling at the bunny is one thing, but we really weren't sure how she would react when we sat her on his lap! Well, its official, Hannah LOVES the Easter Bunny!

    After visiting with the Easter Bunny for a bit we participated in an Easter Egg hunt. Grandma Judy has decorated the house for Easter so Hannah has seen the plastic eggs....we knew Hannah would know what the eggs were but we didn't know if she would understand what she was supposed to be doing. At first, she just looked at all the eggs, "oooohing" over them, then realized that these eggs had things in them!! Hannah definitely got into the hunt, the only problem was she didn't ever want to put the eggs she found into her bag so she had to figure out how to hold them all!

    Florida (Spring Training) Vacation....

    So a while back, Chuck and I decided we would need a mini vacation sometime early spring. With Chuck taking a new job and having to use almost all the days off he gets this year for family weddings we knew that at least a short getaway with just the 3 of us was a must! Normally when we go on vacation we visit my Dad, Nancy and sisters in California but they just happen to be on a (amazing) vacation at the same time. With Chuck being such a big Mets fan and knowing that it was very unlikely he would get to any Mets games this summer I stared doing research on Met's Spring Training. Met's Spring Training takes place in beautiful Port St. Lucie, Florida! Neither Chuck or I had ever been to that part of Florida, so we looked up a Marriott (we were using points), picked the one with the best looking pool near the stadium and off we went for 4 awesome days!! The weather was perfect, Hannah was perfect and the trip went way to fast! Hannah loved the pool, we definitely had a battle everyday when it was time to go inside!
    Now we are back to reality, working and trying to get things settled for the new house. Chuck and I are starting to get excited for the new house, hoping we have everything squared away so we can just focus on fun stuff, like painting Hannah's room and planning our "Annual Derby Party"!!
    Here are some pictures from our little trip!

    Here Mommy, you can have my pizza!
    So, Chuck and I were not the only ones with the idea of a Spring Training trip! There must have been 4 or 5 other 15-16 month olds running around during the game!! And Hannah made friends with all of them!
    "Hey Guys, where are you going?"
    Pretty Girl!!!
    Pool time and lots of sunscreen!!

    Happy St. Patrick's Day...

    Hannah is definitely not old enough to enjoy a green beer on St. Patty's Day, but she still knows how to have a good time!!!

    Birthday Weekend....

    We had a fun weekend and hopefully it is just kicking off what is going to be a very fun week! We started Saturday morning with the St. Patrick's day run, it wasn't a beautiful morning but it is such a fun run to do because Hannah gets to come along.
    Couple things we learned:
    1. When running with a stroller, do not start back with the walkers because it is very difficult to get back up to the runners and not run over walkers with the stroller.
    2. Minimize the amount of items put into the stroller with Hannah because eventually they will be thrown out!
    So even though we had to weave in and out of some walkers and stop to pick up a few mittens and toys, it was a great run and we felt good afterwards.
    We couldn't let Chuck celebrate his birthday without a trip to Broad Ripple so Grandma and Grandpa Dodge were very kind and offered to babysit so we could celebrate. It was a really fun night, I hope Chuck enjoyed it! Happy 30th Birthday hun!
    Like I said above I hope this fun weekend is just kicking off what is going to be a very fun and relaxing week. Wednesday is St. Patrick's day, my guess is we won't be doing a ton of celebrating because Thursday morning Chuck, Hannah and I are getting up bright and early to catch a flight to Florida. We are heading down there for 4 days of relaxing and lets not forget Mets spring training! Since Chuck had hockey this past weekend I couldn't really plan anything for his birthday so a trip to Florida and baseball the weekend after will just have to do!
