Hughes House Happenings: Washington D.C. Trip Part 1

This is the first of several catch up posts... I am long overdue and April and early May have been full of fun times with our family and friends.

Addy got her first tutu skirt:

We took a trip to Washington D.C. in late April for my American Society of Breast Surgeons annual conference. We were able to spend the first part of the week, including Easter, at my parents house.

I was a bit nervous about flying with two kiddos... we got a portable DVD player for Adelyn to use during the flights. Here she is at home "practicing" for the first time. I thought she might try to pull the headphones off, but no... she loved it!

And here she is in flight...

My favorite comments from the flight from Addy:

upon landing, "It's good to see the ground again!"

and, "Another airplane...that's interesting!"

Having a seat for Addy so we could bring on her car seat was so helpful. She was comfortable and secure and didn't even ask to get down.

Holton also did great on his first flight. No ear issues at all (from either child), thank goodness. We lucked out and had flights that weren't full, so we used the bulkhead seats behind the galley to spread out a bit.

Great-grandmother Holton came to visit for the weekend. This was her first time to meet Holton!

Easter Sunday

Addy got to open a few early birthday presents, including this adorable set of fabric letters spelling her name.

She also got her very first computer!

My little Diva preparing for her first ever Easter Egg Hunt. She has no idea what's about to happen...

She figured it out quickly, although still didn't know at this point what was in the eggs!

Pajo supervising.

Egg hunting inside. The eggs proved to be great entertainment throughout the week... we hid them (with and without anything inside!) over and over again. I think my mom even used them to get her to eat!
