A LOT of Catching Up to Do

So, needless to say, I have A LOT of catching up to do with the blog. Honestly, I just don't have time, and when I do, there are MANY other things I rather be doing than downloading pictures onto the blog. But tonight I will try to do just that. This entry will be a quick summary of what has been happening in our lives since my last posting in March.

-At the end of March we took the girls to their very first musical, Beauty and the Beast. They had such a great time. They know the movie by heart, so watching it performed live was the best thing ever for them.
-Easter, as usual, was fun. The girls love the idea of the Easter bunny, now that they can understand the concept more. They looked so cute in their little Easter dresses.
-Then in April, we celebrated my dad's 65th birthday. We threw him a surprise party! It was a success. He had no clue what he was going to walk into when he arrived at the party. We had so much fun dancing the night away!
-Also in April, the girls turned 3 years old!!! My babies are getting so big. I cannot believe that they are 3 already. They, as usual, had a blast at their party, which had a Mickey Mouse theme this year.
-In May, my cousin Sandra, got married. The girls were the flower girls. They LOVED wearing their princess dresses. And they truely looked like little princess
-Also in may are my mom's bday, my bday, and of course mother's day. All happy days!!
-After school got out, we have been able to enjoy this wonderful Chicago summer to the fullest.
-For the 4th of July, we went to Boston for the weekend. What a great city!! We saw the fireworks while the Boston pops played, and even got to go to Cape Cod for the day. Excellent weekend!!
