We had 2 big events this weekend which is why I'm posting a lot more pictures than normal. Saturday was Lily's 7th birthday and of course Easter was Sunday. Lily was just thrilled that the resurrection of our Lord and Savior was "moved" to be closer to her birthday.
We started her big day off with a carriage ride around Central Park. We could only persuade Jackson and Rod to join us. Ben and Bo said they had other things to do. Carriage rides don't really seem to appeal to teenage boys.
Central Park was looking beautiful that day:
This is Lily receiving one of her many birthday phone calls from the grandparents. She finally cut them off by saying, "Uh...I need to go. I'm kinda on a carriage ride. I'd like to enjoy that now, please. Thank you. "

Jumping for joy in Central Park.
Next stop was The Plaza Hotel, which is just amazing. Even the flowers in the lobby are over the top:
The reason we went to The Plaza was so we could visit The Eloise store. It is just adorable. Especially if you like the color pink.
This lovely picture of my backside is me picking up fragile merchandise that Lily dropped. Within the first 5 seconds of walking in the store.
Tea Party room at The Eloise Store:
Next stop was lunch for the birthday girl at an outdoor cafe. Girl loves her sushi.
Let's just say this sculpture at Colombus Circle caused a bit of curiousity. Can you see Lily running around it...then screeching to a halt. She had quite a few things to say about this.
Happy Birthday baby girl.
After church on Sunday we took a stroll through Bryant Park to enjoy the sunshine.
We wandered over to 5th Avenue where we heard The Easter Bonnet Parade was going on. I'm going to include one picture here, but I will be doing a whole post on this event later. Because it was...well...it was a bit out of the ordinary.
Cab ride home with my handsome husband after a long day. I'm a lucky girl.

wonderful photos -- and a nice anchoring for me as I am still recovering from the rather large earthquake we experienced this afternoon in Los Angeles --
Beautiful photos! You make living in New York seem so lovely. Happy Easter to the Six in the City.
Hello! I'm a friend of Kelly's, Jordan and my daughter Julia are orphanage sisters. I love reading your blog, and have been inspired to take more pictures of our weekend. What kind of camera do you use? Mine takes really drab pictures, and I have such a cute subject to photograph - I'm not doing her justice! :) Thanks for letting me sneak a peek inside your life! ~ Janette

What a fun birthday! Love the statue one. Hilarious!
I LOVE the Eloise movies and actually have both on DVD. My son doesn't like watching them, so I just watch them when he's gone. :-D
HAPPY BIRTHDAY LILY!
Did the statues at Columbus Circle (Adam & Eve) make you home sick? They're done by the same artist as the ones at the DCPA, Fernando Botero.
