Mackinac!

This past weekend we went to Mackinac Island for a super quick trip!  We went to celebrate my MIL’s birthday and Mother’s Day, and all stayed at the Grand Hotel.  I had never been there before, and it was just fabulous!  We had an amazing 5-course dinner, and then drinks and dancing afterward.  The girls were a bit of a handful, but we still had a really nice time.  Maggie really liked dancing with everyone in her “princess dress.” 

All the Donoghues

I had to play masses at St. Michael’s this weekend, so we had to rush back home early on Saturday.  I’m hoping we can go back later this summer to spend more time on the island.

We had a fun weekend around the house afterward.  Sadly Evie and I both caught a cold, so it’s been a rough start to the week.  Sunday was Grandma’s actual birthday, so Jamie and Maggie went to celebrate with the family while Evie and I shared germs at home.

I love this photo

Make a wish!

Here's some others from the week:

looks are more important than food anyway

We are trying to teach Maggie how to swing properly... still working on the leg pumping thing!  Evie cracks me up:
