We colored our eggs on Friday...
We had our Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday...
We woke up on Easter Sunday to find that a bunny had visited...
This little girl ran around the house collecting everything in sight.
While this little boy figured out he could just sit and open up all of his treasures, while that little girl did the work. What a smarty pants he is.
Of course we got dressed in our Easter Sunday best...
Hope yours was a happy one too!
Well, that was a whirl wind!
First stop, was way up North. Lots of family time, lots of craziness, lots of fun.
We have one happy Uncle and three silly kiddies... and one making a dash for it.
Two lucky little girls with new American Girl Dolls, Ruthie and Elizabeth. AND one silly Auntie.
We had one crazy messy fun Christmas morning. These kiddies must have been pretty darn good!
We also have 7 Grandkids with two happy Grands.
We had lots of cousin playtime with sledding and an afternoon spent at the bowling alley. Can I just mention that I rocked it hard core and beat everyone the second game... booo-ya!
Then we headed slightly South for some more family fun.
... where there were some feirce Hungry Hungry Hip Games to be had.
... and one little boy who was just a little bit excited. ... ok. so he was this excited with ALL of his toys. That kid is just too cute! He wanted to savor every little present he opened up and didn't really want to move on to the next.
We made it home just in time to celebrate the new year, a new decade, with friends. The kiddies stayed up ALL night and did GREAT!
And when I said ALL night. This was taken when we got back to our house after a fun night of celebrating... 1:06AM. My kiddies are the coolest.
Now...
Back to real life. With lots of new toys to play with and lots of snow to play in.
Just a simple run-down of our Halloween events...
Elsie enjoyed her Halloween celebration at school as a Tiger.
Elsie and Sam loved receiving all kinds of goodies in the mail. Halloween cards and birthday goodies galore. Since Grandma's think alike, Sam was surprised with a "make-up" present from Gram DiDi and Bumpa, and one lucky sister was super surprised when the box was opened. There, on top, laid a lovely surprise of her own; a My Little Pony book for her to read. She was ecstatic, as was Sam!
Then, there was Halloween. We have one Dragon and one Princess Ariel.
And one big beastly crew too. The crew headed out going house to house in search of candy.
Me... I stayed behind this year and manned my station with mini Elsie scarecrow, two jack o'lanterns, and one Maggie Moe. Have I mentioned that my hubby has some mean camera skillz?
Then there is the day after. We had to hit the after Halloween sales, of course. I must say that this is the cutest Spiderman, who just happens to be showing off his big muscles. ANd one cute little muscle princess too.
And then we have the day after that... Yes. These costumes are getting full use-age for sure.
Elsie likes to marry Spiderman and then she tells him to kiss her. Sam is quite the kisser, as you can see.
And of course, we loved sporting our new Vote stickers too.
Yesterday, we had a fun filled day with the neighborhood and completed our day with the Medina city fireworks show. The kiddies absolutely loved them.
They even enjoyed the sparkers. Happy 4th everyone!
Just a little run-down of our Easter weekend celebrations! The weather was absolutely perfect. We really couldn't have asked for anything better.
We spent Friday playing with the neighborhood kids and coloring easter eggs together...
Lots of fun and colors happening here!
Elsie and Sam enjoyed every minute of it. Elsie really liked the color pink, and Sam really like to drop the eggs in... over and over again.
Even when we colored all our eggs, Sam still wanted them. He ended up crushing the one in is right hand. The only casualty of the evening.
On Saturday, we had our neighborhood Easter egg hunt.
Lots more fun, and both of them had a blast! Elsie had been talking about the Easter egg hunt for months before this. She was estatic that the day finally came.
Then on Easter Sunday...
Sam was the first one to see the eggs left behind by the Easter Bunny. He started to point and do his little "oooo, oooh" noises. It took Elsie a little bit to realize there were hidden treasures all around her.
Here they are with all of their new found goodies.
We got all dressed up in our Sunday's best. Elsie insisted on wearing her tiara, bracelets, and ring. She needed to be all fancy when she had such a beautiful dress.
And Sam was most excited about his new truck. He squealed pretty darn loud once he got a little glimpse of it. What a boy! I am convinced that there is some "truck" gene in boys.
First off... Elsie had a special week at pre-school. They had been getting ready for the Thanksgiving holiday.
She was an Indian Princess.
Just a little video action of our little Princess!
We had a wonderful 4-day weekend Thanksgiving! Lots of food to eat and family time to be had. I even ventured out just after 4AM on Friday to get a little shopping in, and I was back home by 7:30AM. Not too bad in my book. It was actually very painless, and mission accomplised!
Elsie totally loved helping out while we were getting everything ready for our feast. Here she is helping Dad with the dough for the rolls.
This little guy woke up from naptime first. He was mesmerized by the fire that Daddy insists on doing every Thanksgiving.
Then the feast could begin once this little lady woke up :)
Both little munkin's enjoyed every bite of it!
We even had some out door time. It was finally nice to have some sunshine!
Sending you all lots of Hugs & Kisses!
