Easter

We drove to Pittsburgh this weekend to spend Easter at the Johnson's.  This was our first time meeting our new neice, Cate, so we were so excited for the trip.  It was our first long road trip with Parker since Thanksgiving and driving back from St. Louis and she did pretty well.  It's normally a 4.5 hour drive, but with a baby took a bit longer.  Friday night we hung out at the Johnson's house and it ended up being a bit of a party night (the shot-ski even made an appearance)...we were up until 2:00 am.  Needless to say we were all a bit tired on Saturday since we all have babies to wake up with now. 

On Saturday, we took everyone to a park, it was Parker's first time on a swing and she LOVED it.  At one point, she was even giggling.  Somehow we thought we had that part on video but turns out we missed it.  The video below is before she really got the hang of it. 

We took the whole crew to The Hofbrauhaus for an early dinner.  It's in Gennie & Eric's old neighborhood of the South Side, so lots of memories at this place. 

Easter Sunday we had brunch at Roy Johnson's country club.  Parker wore a dress/jacket outfit that was mine was I was a little girl.  Here are pictures of Parker wearing it at 6 months (it was a little big on her) and me at 14 months...both on Easter!

And some family photos:
