DISCLAIMER- I will be posting more pics later because Blogger keeps telling me I am making a bad request and I am getting extremely frustrated- so I will go with what I have and post the remainder easter pics later.
My mom/ Mimi was in town this past week as her school had spring break. we had a great visit and Ellie sure does love her mimi. It is amazing to me how quickly she is so comfortable with mimi and how she never misbehaves for her- it was such a blessing to have mom here this week to help and give my pregnant self a little break. Last Sunday was Easter and the Easter Bunny brought Ellie a slide for the back yard as well as bubbles which she loves- the weather here has been amazing and we all just loved being outside with Ellie running around. She is a ball of energy these days so I am very thankful to have such great weather as we would have gone nuts staying indoors. We also did an easter egg hunt and as soon as she caught onto the fact that there was stickers and chocolate in the eggs she loved picking them up. In fact she loves the eggs so much we still play with them on a daily basis- they will probably still be out come next Easter.
On Monday we went to Boston to the Children's Museum and had so much fun. Some parts were a little advanced for ellie but she has a great time pretty much anywhere. we walked ALOT which was good with all the easter candy I had been consuming since I gave it up for lent. the day was exhausting but so fun and it is definitely the major benefit of living in Newport that such great cities are so easily accessible.
My mom and I also hit up the outlet malls while she was here- Ellie is going to look so cute this spring/summer as you will see in the upcoming months. And mom brought ellie plenty of hairbows so she can look like the southern girl she is at heart.
again it was such a fun visit- we could not have asked for better weather and I know Ellie could not have had more fun with her mimi- she still asks for her on a daily basis and I am glad they are so close as Mimi will be a great distraction when the new baby arrives in July. Only 12 more weeks which is scary and exciting but I know I will be ready to deliver as the third trimester is not that comfortable! Hope everyone had a great Easter.

Still fits in her easter basket- I will post last years pic later for a comparison!
Bought Ellie some cute shades at the outlet- she loves them and of course they are pink to match all her outfits.
Mommy looks a little rough but we were walking on the cliff walks so please excuse the appearance- we discovered the cliff walks which is a sidewalked trail with the atlantic ocean on one side and the mansions on the other- it is beautiful and we plan on taking many trips there to get our exercise
Ellie in her new raincoat- adorable

Ellie and her new bunny from mimi- soon ellie will no longer fit in her crib as she has too many stuffed animals to sleep with
Easter egg hunt
Look at those adorable curls- I love her hair.
Bubbles, bubbles, bubbles- her expression of pure joy is priceless
Ellie smelling the flowers- she as too scared to get close to the flowers but she pretended- she is one funny kid. She will walk up to any dog she sees and try and hug him but try and hand her a flower and she freaks out- it is hilarious. 
Mimi and Ellie!
Daddy and Ellie- I just love this picture!
Sweet girl with her ever present snack cup.
