easter 2011 ~ part 1

(the problem with writing about this in september is i can't remember all the details- believe it or not- but i'll give it my best shot : ) my parents live in a great neighborhood that had a fun easter celebration and egg hunt at their clubhouse. there was a bubble machine which you can see from the pictures, one little brunette THOROUGHLY enjoyed... then inside there were yummy easter goodies and crafts which marni seemed to enjoy the most with her LOVE for all things scrapbooking, etc : ) afterwards, we enjoyed going back to my parents' home for a wonderful meal together where my mom outdid herself with beautiful decorations and personalized candies for each of us!

ava's baby dedication

ava was dedicated at buckhead church in the same format as bella, which i love!! we had (2) tables that were assigned to us and we were able to invite family and friends to come celebrate with us. jason and i were asked by the church to prepare some thoughts, comments, etc to share with our guests. in addition the church shared blessings with each of us, pictures of the children and sweet treats.

-ariel & me

-jason's aunt lou ann from ct was able to join us!

-loved that marni & pepere were able to be there!
