Easter II





Easter I


Tilly moved in to her Cedar Chalet today, once I finally finished building it after we got back from church.



Her beautiful Easter dress...right after she (intentionally?) drooled malted milk ball chocolate drool all down the front of it.

Act 3: Chuck E Cheese in the 763



I don't blame you for feeling that way, Tilly.




Act Two-Children's Museum and Eagle's Nest





Tilly's Birthday in Three Acts






Tilly's birthday was actually yesterday, but I had some meetings at work that I could not skip. So today was the day I took off work and we celebrated.

We actually started at the dog park (me, Annie, and Tilly), where the brisk wind didn't prevent the egrets, owls, geese, ducks, squirrels and blackbirds from entertaining us. We returned home and Tilly fell asleep right as we were getting on to 280 off of 94.

So once she finally woke up, the whole family started the day at Cupcake. We had some really tasty soup, sandwiches, coffee and cupcakes. It was Tilly's second Cup of Mud cupcake in 16 hours. It took the sugar about 10 minutes to kick in.

We went to the Children's Museum from Cupcake...Tilly seemed disappointed that she couldn't get her face painted like a kitty cat, but she survived. We played with the bubbles, the legos, and whatever else Tilly was interested in.

From there we made our way to Shoreview/Mounds View to the Eagle's Nest, a big indoor playground. Again, as we were about to arrive, Tilly fell asleep so Emma and I drove around for about 45 minutes til she woke up.

From there (after Tilly played in the ball pits, climbed in the tubes, slid down slides, etc) we ended the day at Chuck E Cheese's in Blaine. Tilly seemed to have a simultaneous fear and fascination with the big mouse.

We then came home. It was a good, long day.

Happy Birthday darling girl. I love you.
