As always, it was wonderful to have my mom here visiting. Soooo much fun was packed into the weekend! We hung out in Harlem for a good part of her visit, reading books, dying eggs, playing games, and snuggling kiddos.

We took a trip to the movie theater to see "How to Train a Dragon," and Maya thought it was a fun place to yell and squeal with delight. So yes, even she enjoyed the experience. :)

On Saturday we celebrated my sister's birthday by heading to Max Brenner's for dinner and unbeatable chocolate desserts. Little did we know that there would be a huge pillow fight taking place in Union Square.... so it was a very crowded but entertaining walk to the restaurant.

Everyone enjoyed their food... (Zoe had kids mac and cheese with marinara)

... and desserts... (that is chocolate peanut butter pizza)

... Sunday we celebrated Easter at church and then headed to Brooklyn for a yummy meal at Karen and Matt's

... and, as hoped for, my mom saw her first NYC rat. Actually, she saw two! Can you spot this one?

First off, somebody is 7 months old already...

And secondly, my mom is here to visit... YES!!!!

The obvious plan- to have fun. While we are at it though, we are trying to find her a rat. In all the times she has been out here to visit, she has seen plenty of bizarre sights, but no rats. We are keeping our eyes peeled.  :)

The other day we discovered that this neat fold-out play tent of Zoe's fit perfectly in Maya's crib! Well, that made for a full afternoon of play for the girls. Maya was fascinated, and listened to Zoe read to her, watched her big sis tend to a pretend garden, take pretend phone calls, and more. Sooo fun!

And, AH! These girls are growing fast!! 

They are tons of fun. :)
