Molly and I spent 10 days in Arizona visiting family and while we were there, we celebrated Easter and my cousin's wedding. I apologize in advance for the length of this post... there are LOTS of pictures to share!
Easter Morning
We woke up at Nana's house to find all kinds of goodies left for Molly and the new puppies

Egg Hunt at my aunt and uncle's house
The only other kid close to Molly's age was her cousin, Hunter who is 7. He was VERY competitive and ran around like a mad-man trying to get the most eggs. About half the hidden eggs were candy-filled and the other half were boiled. Molly quickly decided that the hard-boiled eggs weren't worth the effort and let Hunter wear himself out finding them all while she only picked up the candy-filled ones.

Shannon's mom had to help Molly get down the aisle a little faster... she took her duties very seriously - she had purple and yellow petals in her basket and she took her time to very carefully drop just one of each color.
Shannon and her parents
Dom was so moved by his vows to Shannon that he went in for a kiss before it was time... the Judge quickly put a stop to that!
During the ceremony a gorgeous monarch butterfly flew around behind Dom and Shannon as they faced the judge, Molly and I both knew it was Julia checking in and letting us know she was there! I wasn't able to get a picture of it because it was moving around so quickly - hopefully the wedding photographer caught it!
