Woke up way to early for having danced into the wee hours of the night, but EB had visited and there were more baskets and egg hunting fun to be had. Then we got dressed in our Sunday best and headed to the club for a huge brunch spread. I am still full hours later! It was simply the most beautiful day so we thought we'd pay a visit to the dunes. Bella and I walked along the water to see if we could find any treasures that had washed ashore (just rocks really ... ) and Sloane dipped her toes in the sand and water for the first time ever. We could not believe how utterly beautiful it was - actually hot - in April. Hopefully this means a great summer is ahead!
Upon arriving in Indiana for Easter weekend, Holly presented me with my favorite painting by her friend Carrie. What a fabulous gift! I just love it!
And while we were chatting and enjoying a morning couppa, Sloane zonked out on her momma's lap. How cute is that? And to think this was only one easter egg hunt into the day...
We found eggs and full size twix bars during the hunt at the club - had lunch then it was off to the famous "egg drop" hunt. Yes, they were scheduled to drop 20,000 eggs from a helicopter to let the kids scoop up the goods. We waited a ridiculous amount of time - the kids were totally not into it once the action actually began...
And then there's the disappointment. Xavier and Mason got a few goodies and then poor Bella got nothing but a bunch of busted eggshells. She was so upset. But upon closer inspection of the boys stuff, they didn't get much that they could actually eat. The chocolate was mush, lots of the candy bags were open and then they had smarties just loose inside the egg ... do they even sell smarties that aren't wrapped in that little tube package?
Back to the house to settle the munchkin's in and take a few photos of the lovely Sloane. She's a whopping 4 months now! I just love her big blue eyes and little pink lips. So darn cute!
Then it was off to the Blue Chip casino to celebrate Niki's 29th birthday. We ate. We drank. We danced the night away. Oh and the people watching at the casino in Indiana is priceless. Seriously. Fantastic!

Actually busted out the Mark II to go shoot these lovelies today. It felt good. Actually feels easy compared to the iPhone ... anyone else feel like that? Oh and took Lightroom 4 for it's first spin - so far I like!!

Sporting my Jayhawk gear today since I was heading to Kincade's immediately after work. Sadly my team did not win the championship, but I still love them. And they gave us one amazing ride this season!! RockChalk!
