Happy Easter!

Today was the last of the holiday "firsts" for McKenna and for Benny it was his first of the "firsts"! Weird to think that it was both McKenna and Ben's First Easter, and that we went from celebrating Easter with no kids to celebrating it with two in just a year. This 11 months apart thing sure does amaze me!

But anyways...

Happy Easter! I hope that each of you had a nice day with the people you hold near to your heart. We are very lucky to live near both of our families, so we always get to celebrate with the ones we love. We began our day with the Easter baskets, of course!

two little littles makes for sparse baskets...
next year they are sure to look much much different!

We started our day over at my parent's house for Easter brunch. It was a bit sad because we were missing both Mackie & Lizzie. Both girlies had to work :( Life is beginning to change for the Milazzo's...we're all getting older.

We had a really nice time with my mom & dad, Kristen, Aunt Lynn, Uncle Rick, & Danny.

Daddy's Girl

yay! I got a picture of her with her headband on!
She pulled it off right after the picture was snapped!


After brunch we headed over to Grandma & Grandpa Witkowski's house for Easter dinner. We had a nice time with Grandma & Grandpa Witkowski, Uncle Kevin, Uncle Eric, Aunt Sabrina (and Bandit!), Doug, Bobbi, & Collin!

My mom's birthday was last Thursday, April 14th and as usual it was no birthDAY....it was here birthWEEK!

Along with lots of fun celebrations with her friends throughout the week, we celebrated her birthday with two special parties!

The first...
Brian, Kristen, McKenna, Ben, & I celebrated Mom's day with her on Thursday night. The kids & I were at her house when she got home from work and then we cooked her a special birthday dinner - taco night!

always so much fun with Aunt Krissy!

McKenna had no interest in opening up her own birthday gifts, but just one week later she attacked my mom's! Too funny!

We got her a Keurig!

The Second...
My dad planned a special surprise birthday party for my mom on Sunday, April 18th. After an agonizing morning of shopping with Kristen...my mom hates to shop...she came home to a full house of friends and family! We had a great time and I'm pretty sure she was surprised!

She's the Birthday Girl...the Birthday Girl!

it looks like a healthy treat...Jody dipped the celery in frosting!
