THE FAMILY. We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together. ~Erma Bombeck

Easter

Decorating Easter Eggs was our Saturday night Activity. Mia and Cole did a great job (Luke was officially banned from this project).

Mia wasn't feeling well, but tried her best to ignore her fever and developing cough, so she could participate.


Here are a few photos of Easter Morning. Mia got Pixos and was so excited about that, because I've always told her we wouldn't buy them. I guess the Easter Bunny is nicer then her Mom. Cole got his first set of Legos and he was beyond excited. They loved their toys so much that they completely ignored the candy for the first hour of getting their baskets. And true to form, I'm finding small pixo pills and tiny lego pieces all over my house. Oh well, they're only little once.




Unfortunately Mia fought her fever for the rest of the day, so she didn't get a chance to show off her cute Easter dress at church. But we were lucky enough to have a visit from Grandma and Grandpa Swasey. And we enjoyed a wonderful Easter dinner with them.

Easter Egg Hunt

Our church had an easter egg hunt this morning. This was Luke's first egg hunt experience.

Mia and Cole were so excited. They held it at a neighborhood park, and started the event with my kid's favorite thing... chocolate glazed donuts.
The younger kids started the hunt first. Cole and Luke were in that group. Daddy took time off of studying to give Luke a hand while I took pictures. He couldn't quite pick up on the concept. Maybe next year. Although he did love the reward at the end.... CANDY.
Cole had a blast.


Mia was in the second group to go. "And They're Off"...




Mia and her friend Aspen. She was too busy staring at the loot to look up at the camera.

Sweet rewards.

St. Patricks Day

I'm finally posting my St. Patrick's Day pictures. We had a Green Breakfast, which was essentiall green pancakes in the shape of shamrocks. That was a huge hit. Then for dinner we had this... It's awesome how green peppers are just the right shape. Here's a photo of Mia in all her green attire.

For dinner we had Pesto Chicken Pasta, green jello, green veggies with ranch dip, and green grapes. For dessert we had pistacio pudding. Yum!
