Easter with The Vugteveen's

The weekend started with the kids coloring Easter eggs, they really enjoy this and we tried Kool Aid this year.  It wasn't that bad, much better smelling but the colors were not as bright.  You really had to soak them for a long time to get good color.

My little sister's bridal shower

Together with two of Kari's friends I hosted a bridal shower for her.  Thank goodness for Facebook messenger the three of us were able to pull of a pretty darn good shower.  It was a very enjoyable day.

Another day in Chicago

Saturday started out with a continental breakfast at the hotel, the girls thought that was pretty cool.  We then headed over to Crate and Barrel and Carson's where I found a new spring coat, score!  Then it was off to Lego Land for the afternoon.  The girls were pretty excited about this as well.

The girls loved the big giraffe out front and thought Aunt Kari would too!

This was for Grandpa

My girls

loved the city scape of Chicago when we walked in to Lego Land

Another little ride they liked

Me and my girls

Then we headed off to IKEA, the girls enjoyed it but were getting tired.
After this we headed back to the hotel for a little rest before hitting up Woodfield Mall.  I love this mall and we did a little shopping.  It had been a long day though so the girls were done.

We headed over to Red Robin for some dinner and they were better after that.

Sunday we got up, had our breakfast and headed home.  We made a stop at Michigan City to score some deals at the outlets.  We hit some great sales and the girls were great.  To top it off the sun was shinning and it was a beautiful day.
