Easter Sunday

Before Church and Easter lunch, Riley woke up to a basket full of goodies from the Easter Bunny! I couldn't resist to add 2 photos of Riley from Easter 2009 at the bottom =)

Happy Easter!

Well sort of....I guess I should say Happy Easter Eve! At the last minute, I decided to get Riley's photo taken with the Easter bunny. She LOVED him! Hugs, kisses and tons of waves were thrown to Mr. Bunny and we actually got a halfway decent picture out of it too! Happy Easter to everyone!

Merry Christmas!

2009 marks Riley's 2nd Christmas and it was definitely a fun one! She has officially become a pro at opening gifts! Here are photos from Christmas Eve, Christmas Morning, Christmas Evening, the Afternoon after Christmas and the Evening after Christmas. Yes,we had many Christmases mostly due to family members being ill but everyone is pretty much back to normal. Even though Christmas wasn't as traditional this year as it has been in the past, it was still very special and full of smiles to last a lifetime! Here are pictures of all of our Christmases =)

Enjoy!

Off to the Christmas Eve Church Service

Snoozing away, waiting for Santa!

Santa made his arrival!!!

Taking a break...

My 1st Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to all of the Moms and Mommies-to-be!

This morning I woke up to the sound of gun shots! Oh, wait...that was because Nick let Riley into my room while I was still sleeping with a Happy Mother's Day balloon and my fan was on high so... Balloon + Fan on high + Dead asleep mommy=waking up with a heart attack! lol!

Definitely a 1st Mother's Day I will never forget! I was scheduled to work today, but got a last minute surprise to be able to work Saturday instead of Sunday, so of course I jumped on it!

Nick and Riley gave me a Mother's Day balloon, 2 cards, an itunes gift card, some candy, flowers and Dunkin' Donuts for breakfast! I was thrilled =)

We spent the lunch with my family at Red Lobster and needless to say, it was crazy busy!

We did manage to catch a few pictures of the Moms.

This is me with my Mom and of course Miss Riley

This is 4 generations-my Grandma, Mom, me and Riley

Happy Easter!

Just a few pictures from when Riley woke up this morning. She instantly saw the goodies the Easter Bunny left her and darted towards them! Then off to church and lunch we went. I hope everyone had a Happy Easter!
