Easter Memories

After a snowy start,

and by snowy, I mean SNOWY,

Easter weekend was not so bad

Benjamin, Matthew and their cousin Emily

went to an Easter Egg hunt

Thankfully it was indoors

The snow would not have been too bad

but the wind we had that morning was not fun

Let's just say 30-40 mph winds are not fun for little tykes

Then with the help of more experienced cousins

we dyed Easter Eggs

It was kind of fun

But now I'm wishing we had boiled even more

Maybe next year

Then, the rest of the weekend the older girls and I spent all of our time in the kitchen

We made brownies, homemade Oreos, butter mints and rolls

And then we also made Easter dinner.

I can't believe there was room in my belly for all the sweets and treats

but there was...and I'll be spending the next six weeks working off those three days of indulgence

Such is life

Overall, the weekend was awesome.

The boys had so much fun with their cousins

And I think the cousins had fun with the boys

And I have a feeling that we are in desperate need of a bigger house

just so we can have a Wii retreat without anyone getting hurt.

Thanks Ryan, Lindsay, Maura and Emily for helping to make Easter so memorable for the Pope's. We welcome you all back anytime.
