Easter Love

I surely hope you and yours had a very special Easter weekend.  Ours was quite busy but we had fun the entire time.  Good Friday was a day off for the kids and I, so the day was spent grocery shopping, cooking, baking and preparing for the next two days.  Friday evening we had dinner with some purdy wonderful friends and had a great time.

Saturday we spent the day at my cousin Diane's house for Easter with my mom's family.  It was a gorgeous day and I loved spending time with everyone catching up and visiting.  We don't get together often enough but sure hope that changes.  They are great therapy for me and as I've said before, I always feel like I'm with my mom when I visit with the aunts....not the same but sure feels like she's there.  :)

Here are a few pics from our day....

Awaiting the great Vyvial Egg Hunt 2012 to commence...Bella was so excited! Chris chose not to hunt this year...

And there she goes...man its amazing how much they change in a year.

She was all on it this year gathering those eggs! 

Counting her eggs and looking for prize eggs. She was such a little hoot!

I managed to get Chris to stand still long enough to take some pictures of the three of us....

Easter Sunday the kids awoke to baskets from the Easter Bunny.  I was so tired from the day before I didn't even think about taking pictures.  Bad mommy I know.  We went to Daddy and Lena's house later to spend the day there.  It was very relaxing.  They just had some remodeling done at the house and had a pergola put in out back.  Oh my gosh...I sat in the swing under that thing and just about went to sleep.  So nice.  I helped Bella do some fishing and then tried my hand at it.  Didn't get a fish but I snagged a turtle!  I was so excited.  Here are some pics from yesterday..

Yes, yes...another picture of me and my babies. I can't have enough of them. :)

Me relaxing in the swing I mentioned before. This was my view...can you say "ahhhhhh".

Me and the boy. Is it just me but is this boy handsome or what!?! Love him so.

My girl fishing. She's got this! We had to cast for her but she could reel it in with the best of 'em.

Me and my big catch of the day...Mr. Turtle!

This is the swing with two little monkeys in it...Bella and Brady.

All in all we had a great weekend.  Can't remember the last time I smiled and laughed that much.  Been too long.  Should put that on my "To Do List" every day....

1.  Smile

 2.  Laugh
