easter weekend part 2

Sunday was all about the Easter egg hunt. Little Miss L. hopped into bed on Saturday night in anticipation of the surprise that would await her in the morning. Sunday morning arrived and Little Miss L. jumped out of bed and came running into our room "Mommy, Daddy - there are eggs all over the floor" She excitedly picked up her Easter basket and began the hunt. Our daughter could have taken all day to complete her hunt, as she would pick up each egg, open to see what surprise was inside and then had to line the goodies up in a row. She loved the whole idea of the egg hunt and would thank the bunny repeatedly along the way for leaving her such cool things. Baby D also enjoyed the hunt, and loved picking up the brightly coloured eggs. After the successful egg hunt, we were off to my inlaws for lunch with the family. We also celebrated our nephew's 3rd birthday. It was a wonderful afternoon with with family...

The egg hunt begins.

How did the Easter bunny know that Rio is my favourite movie?!?

"I found one!"

Look, it's a bunny.

They are all smiles after filling their bellies.

Time for Mr. L to blow out his candle.

My failed attempt at trying to get a picture with four children all looking at the camera... not going to happen!

I think someone enjoyed the birthday cake :)

Easter weekend was full of celebration. Saturday, we headed down to my parents house for an afternoon spent with family. As always, my parents put on quite a spread and we left later that evening with our bellies ready to burst... seriously, I had to undo my pants to make it through the drive home.

The kiddos were spoiled and they loved spending time with their uncle, grandparents and great-grandparents. I love love love days like these...

The Easter bunny has arrived.

Nona made a special treat for Little Miss L.- she is waiting patiently for the big reveal.

Yippee! It's eggs in a nest. I know someone who is happy!

They aren't just messy... they are finger lickin' good!

An amazing woman, please everyone send your prayers for this wonderful lady as today she is in surgery fighting colon cancer. 

happy easter

We hope you are all enjoying your long weekend because we definitely are. I love love love spending time with friends and family and filling my belly with great food doesn't hurt either. Enjoy your time off, remember to take a few minutes to relax and rejuvenate yourself.

HAPPY EASTER FROM OUR FAMILY TO YOURS

FELIZ PÁSCOA PARA TODOS

a boy on a mission

Dear washcloths,

If you know what's good for you, make a run for it now! Baby D will hunt you down and chew you into bits. This is no joke, he is on a serious mission these days, and let me tell you, he has no mercy.

Just looking out for your best interests,
Momma with a teething baby

You are not going anywhere, I have the master grip!

I mean business.

80 is the new 25

You truly are as old as you feel - just ask my stunning 80 year old grandmother. She doesn't feel a day over 25! This past weekend, we celebrated my grandmother's 80th birthday. We started off with a family gathering on Saturday night. It was a great night of yummy food, lots of laughs, and ended it off with a good ol' shot for the coming year.

Sunday arrived and it was time to surprise grandma with an afternoon tea. Lots of wonderful ladies gathered for the afternoon to sip on tea and dine on an array of sandwiches. It was nice to see so many generations gathered in one room to honour such a beautiful mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, friend, and wife.

I must say I am pretty lucky in my life to have such role models to look up to. I only hope I can achieve what my grandmother has when I am 80 years old.

Today you are about 29,332 days old. Now 80 doesn’t sound so bad does it...

Time for a good ol' shot to celebrate!

I know three ladies who like cake.

Toasting a wonderful woman.

SURPRISE!

Tea time.

Isn't it fun to have a good ol' fashioned tea party!

Surprises everywhere.

The ladies.

What's a good party without cake?!
