Our Morning at the Lakefront

On the Riverwalk on Lake Michigan
Lexie is so excited to get to the water
The girls were so excited about all the ducks that were in the water
We tried for a picture...some of us forgot to look however
Throwing rocks in the lake...or a pond as the girls called it

Lexie liked it...

Aubrey's birthday morning

What a weekend! The girls went on an Easter Egg hunt with their Dad on Saturday morning while I stayed home getting things ready for the party! They had a blast collecting eggs and hearing the Easter story. A big surprise arrived while Aubrey was napping...my folks pushed themselves and were able to make it here for Saturday afternoon! The girls were so excited and Josh and I were very thankful that they were able to share this day with us! We had a houseful Saturday evening to celebrate the two birthdays. What a fun night...and Michigan State won too which just made it all that much better!
