All Things Easter

Another month gone...another month of very few pictures and even fewer blog posts. I'm not sure where the time goes. It was another busy month. We kept busy with several Easter activities, including Easter itself. Earlier in the month the girls dyed Easter eggs with their cousins Sam and Meghan. It was one of the few nice days of the months, so only a few eggs got dyed before they all headed outside. Can't say I blame them given the weather we've had.

Last Friday night the girls' other cousins Ella and Austin had a sleepover at our house. The girls were SO excited and had such a great time. We went on both an egg and scavenger hunt and also spent plenty of time playing around the house. Ella and Claire were up chatting until almost 10pm - they clearly had a fun time.

We had a pretty relaxing Easter. The four of us went to church and then up to Art's parents for brunch. The girls were pretty excited about their baskets from the Easter Bunny, especially the chocolate bunny. Charlotte is not so photogenic these days as evidenced below.

The Wait is Over

We have been waiting for weeks for the snow to melt and the sun to shine. Over the last few days most of the snow has melted and temps have been reaching the mid-50s. It feels incredible. Spring has finally sprung (we hope)! We took full advantage of the beautiful weather on Sunday afternoon. It is amazing how an afternoon outside can brighten everyone's mood. Lets hope that spring is here to stay.
