dolled up dollhouse

We spent a good portion of our yesterday dolling up a dollhouse that was given to us a few years ago from one of Greg's clients. It started out a complete explosion of pink and purple, and not all that appealing to the boy. It was agreed by all with very little fuss from my oh so opinionated girl, that the outside would match the colors of the playroom, which also happens to match the visions of the dream house I've created in my brain...total coincidence. Each kid chose a color for the top and bottom floor, which turned into a bit of business on the outside, party on the inside, and the teeny tiny furniture is all from Hobby Lobby. Now we have ourselves a shiny new toy to play with...and the "we" in that is no joke. I find myself stopping by to rearrange furniture now and again. I also find myself craving donuts.

Easter Weekend

Fresh roses from the backyard, beach day, mexican food, mass amounts of sugar, church, naps and a seriously delicious dinner with Greg's parents all made for an absolutely perfect Easter weekend. Emmerson ran circles around our house on Easter morning screaming at an insanely high volume "EASTER IS MY MOST FAVORITE HOLIDAY!!" ...so I'm guessing it was good for the littles too. Spring has a special way of making everything seem fresh + cheery and i don't know if it's "nesting" or just that spring cleaning bug, but we've been organizing and deep cleaning our buns off and i kind of love it.

hugs + cookies

When we set up our first ever professional family photoshoot back in November with the amazingly talented Tarah Sweeney, we had no idea that I was pregnant. Literally a couple of days later we were overjoyed to learn that a wee baby girl would be joining our little fam and somehow just knowing that our third and final sweet baby was rapidly growing inside my gut at the time this session took place, makes these photos extra special to me. We are the Nielsen family. Hi, I'm Nikki + my lover Greg. Together we made two and a half darling humans, Emmerson + Hudson...and of course the little nugget due to arrive in July. Welcome to our adventures of transitioning from a family of four to a family of five with a side of things we love. Be sure to follow along on Instagram too: @nikkinielsen
