Easter 2009

We had a wonderful Easter. Complete with Easter morning Mass, family, egg hunts and of course, candy! Ella was able to enjoy it more this year, since she is a little older and can participate. Here are the pics! (they are out of order, because I didn't feel like re-organizing them after blogger messed them up!)

The Veo's after church! This was taken at my parent's house, where we went after Mass for a yummy Easter brunch!

Ella in her Easter dress :)


Easter morning, eating CANDY for breakfast, no doubt. Oh well, it was a special day!

She thought her candy necklace was pretty neat.

EASTER EGG HUNT

Ella actually did 2 Easter egg hunts this year, but here are pictures from one we did at home with just us.
She did pretty good!

Cheesing for Mama while looking for eggs.


Sweet girl.


Tom's basket (do you like the Diet Coke in there?.....we both gave up soda for Lent, so I knew he'd enjoy one in his basket) :)


Ella's basket.


DYEING EASTER EGGS
Ella enjoyed this part, but got bored of it pretty quickly!


Getting a little help from Mom.

Shirtless, smiling girl!

Set up to dye eggs.

It was a really fun weekend. We enjoyed the "fun" stuff of the Easter holiday, but we all know the true importance of this special time. He is risen!
Hope you all had a good one :)

St. Pat's 2009

I know this post is extremely late, but I still had these pictures from the St. Pat's Day festivities last month, so I thought I'd post them!

ST. PAT'S PARADE!

Ella and Daddy at the parade.

A glimpse of the crowd. As usual there were TONS of people there.



Starting to get a little tuckered out...
Check out all the beads Ella scored at the parade ;)



Later that evening, we went out with some friends for drinks and to watch Mizzou play in the Big 12 Championship!

An evening out together!


Joannie and I.

St. Pat's was a lot of fun this year! We kept it pretty low key, and were home by 9pm that night :) Boy, we can tell we're getting old!!

ABC's

Ella has been saying her ABC's for several months now, but I had to post this video of her saying them....they are getting so clear! Of course, we all know how hard L-M-N-O-P is....sounds more like "ELLL-----AH-P." But she is doing so good! Hope you all enjoy, I must say so myself....it is precious!
