Stations of the Cross

An incredibly powerful way to kick off Easter week!

Station three.

Jesus falls for the first time.

"Lord, grand me the strength to continue to try to do what is right, even when that is hard to do. Help me to keep on trying, even when I make mistakes and I feel like giving up. "

Mollie (far left), thank you for sharing this special moment with us. 

The Easter Bunny Came to KK's school

She was a little bit excited ;)

Family Easter

Happy to celebrate the seventh consecutive easter egg hunt with the Dallas fam!

Couldn't have had a better day to hunt for eggs and fire up the big green egg for some lamb!

Girlie Time

We went to Cinderella together.  FUN FUN FUN!  And a wonderful message... "have courage and be kind".

Most Dazzling Day Yet

This Kid!

She blew me away today!

We delivered $100 she earned at her art sale to the Austin Street Center, a homeless shelter that gives shelter to 400 people daily.

I never expected how wonderful our experience would be inside.

The ladies LOVED Mollie and were so impressed with her generosity.

They sat down to answer questions, and Mollie had many to ask.

Most importantly, Mollie wanted a tour... so a tour we got.  And it was incredible.

What an amazingly generous and kind girl you've become miss Mollie.

I could not be more proud!

Our Lucky Little Irish Girl

Little Doll

Think Snow!! Colorado Style

We had another wonderful trip to Breck with the whole Hanratty/Butler/Green crew.  Eight adults and  seven kiddos under one roof... lots of laughter, snowball fights and joyful noise.  Mollie nailed the skiing again, saying "I just love skiing so much", and Kendall green lighted attendance to ski school with her two cousins, but opted not to actually put on her skis, instead spending her time on a ski instructors piggy back.  Afternoons were spent watching the kids blow down our luge on the sleds and making snow forts in the back yard.  Everything about it was perfection from the bluebird days to the awesome family time!  Thanks nana and papa for a trip with unforgettable memories.   Here is a hodgepodge of my fav pics....
