What's Up With the David's: Easter in Chi-Town

Easter weekend in Chicago was actually a celebration trifecta. It was a jam-packed weekend but all of us had a blast, especially the boys who absolutely loved hanging with their Chicago family. First we celebrated Amanda and Baby Girl Mazza at her baby shower in the city. Mandi is due 2 weeks before me so the family will be blessed with two little princesses in June! We were so happy to have Grandma Lucy, Aunt Nancy and Christian's cousin Angela join us from Ohio....of course Uncle Ralph and Eric were there too. Gigi, Melanie and Dani hosted a fabulous shower for Amanda. She looked amazing and so stylish as a preggo and little Payton got so many adorable outfits. She's going to be a fashionista just like her mommy!

Next up was Easter! Of course, Christian's family spoiled the boys with cool baskets filled with toys, books and candy. Then, Gigi and Papa were so generous and treated us to an amazing brunch at a french bistro...I think there were 20 of us so it was crazy fun. The boys actually behaved so we got to enjoy our meals...it was an Easter Miracle! Later that night Mel made a delicious dinner and we stuffed our faces once again! I think I gained 10 lbs that weekend.

Finally, Christian spent the following day with his buddies at their annual White Sox home opening partay. I don't ask too many details but I know there is a lot of beer, brauts and bromances involved. So I'm sure he had a great time. While he was there the rest of us trekked downtown to the Field Museum of Natural History. The boys loved seeing all the dinosaurs and exotic animals. But mostly I think they just loved being with their cousins. They really had such an awesome weekend being with their cousins...Sami, Carson and Sophia. Jack especially had a blast with Carson, who he really admires and looks up to. He still talks about all three of them all the time. I know he would love for them to live closer. I would love that too! The entire David family are amazing with my boys and it would be fun to have them around more. Gavin still talks about his Gigi and Papa every day! I know he misses them a lot because he walks around the house looking for them. Its adorable.

We had a really fantastic visit and I took tons of pictures so there were a lot of great ones to post. So sit back and enjoy...

Amanda looked so beautiful at her baby shower and received tons of great gifts for her baby girl...

Jack was obsessed with seeing snow in Chicago but most of it had melted. Luckily, Melanie's front yard had one pile left so Jack was thrilled!

Easter Sunday family time! It was great to have the entire family (minus Mandi's husband Mike) in town. It's nice when we can all get together and capture some great pictures...
