Special Guests

My amazing husband surprised me with a girls' Spa getaway to Marbella, Spain for my 40th Birthday for Spring Break. Not only was my amazing friend Krisa part of it but he included my sister and her best friend, Gwen (who is like my sister, too)! So, they came a couple of days before and stayed a few days after. We stayed in a 3 bedroom flat in downtown London and just enjoyed each other. These are some of the highlights.



Bella adores her Aunty and Nanny G

Gwen and Auntie Sissy always wear scarves so when we saw a vendor downtown, she wanted some.  Here is her first pose.

The three of us saw Cinderella together so we headed to the Disney Store to purchase her the Cinderella dress.

They had the carriage there for photo ops

Shopping is as important as sightseeing when in London.  Joziah loves to run all over the stores and of course hides in the clothes!

Busted by Daddy!

Somebody likes what he sees!

Behind the mirror is good, too.


"Oh, I can hide in here!"

"And try to climb onto the shelves."

Had to stop for a beverage at Starbucks

Modeling her Cinderella dress,, shoes and crown



I brought the kids back some stuff from Spain....this was a 200 piece puzzle...Bella and I worked on it.

The next day we ate at Wagamama's...one of our favorites. 




That night Bella introduced Sissy and Nanny G to her favorite game, Even Steven Odd.
Joziah got to "play", also.

Easter 2015

We celebrated Easter a day early because we were leaving for my 40th Birthday Girls Getaway to Spain in the morning. It was extra special because my sis and Nanny G were here with us. Of course we had the Engels over as well. We started with a yummy brunch and then an Easter Egg hunt in our new expansive yard. It was super fun because Joziah was able to partake in the festivities this year.














Even Spencer got an egg

Very happy about his loot
He's figured out that there are treats inside.


"Is there anymore in there?"

Yep, he's getting ready to dump them out!  One of his favorite pastimes.
