Hummingbird Watchers
My mom has a hummingbird feeder on her back deck and the kids LOVE it (almost as much as she does!). Emma and Albert especially are quite the bird lovers. But you have to watch the VIDEO below because Marmee thought it would be fun to give the wee ones a spin in the chair....well it usually is a lot of fun, but not this time!!
Hummingbirds where are you?
And they found them!
Almost....Park Weather
We tried to have a lunch break at a local park one afternoon when Albert was here. It ended up being VERY cold and a bit wet, but we tried to make the most of it....and then went to get hot coffee!!
Michaela's first trip to the Park!
Happy....before she fell off this swing!
Very cold, but happy!
Angelica loved helping Albert climb
Fun Aunt Alli!!
Wagon and Car Rides
My sister Megs and her hubby and Albert were here over Easter break. Even though it SNOWED, and was cold and rainy...we managed to get the kids outside for some fun. They loved the wagon and car rides...especially up and down Marmee and Poppy's big hill!!
Easter Stories
Angelica thought she would read some Easter stories to Michaela...funny how she mixes all her stories up!
Too Much Easter
After dinner we took the kids up to Marmee's big bath tub to clean them up and Miss Michaela crashed!! She was out...so tired after a very early morning and very long day. She even slept 11 hours straight that night!!
Fabulous Easter Recipes
Easter dinner was as delicious as it was beautiful! The table looked so pretty (thank you Caitlin for our Easter Egg place settings)...although we are out-growing my parents big table very fast...so the kids had their own little table. We keep joking my dad that he will have to extend his dining room again so that we all can keep eating together!
We tried some new recipes this year....I still need to get the delicious lamb marinade my mom did this year and we grilled it, so good! I made a new Oven-Roasted Vegetables recipe....DELICIOUS!!! I had never had fennel before (we all LOVED IT!) or fingerling potatoes...they looked pretty especially the purple ones and tasted so good. Everyone raved about this dish and I will definitely be making again. Super easy and super delightful!! 
For desserts, I made by Alli's request our now traditional Crunchy Chocolate Eggs...they disappear fast! I made a new Pampered Chef recipe for dessert too, Strawberry-Coconut Tres Leches Trifle - very pretty and yummy! My mom made a very yummy lemon cake with cute bunnies on top...still need that recipe as well!!
The Hunt
Marmee did an egg hunt for the kids...luckily it was nice enough to do it outside!! First year!! Angelica took off and was too fast to get any pictures of...we had to slow her down so some would be left for Emma and Albert.
What exactly do I do with this?
This is fun!
Checking out each other's loot!
Ooohh....Eggs!

Easter Baskets - Round Two
Sorry Michaela, no candy...but two teething rings!
Loving her Easter gift!
Baskets - Round One
The kids were so spoiled...they got two Easter baskets. We have always hid them and they have to find them. So Marmee hid hers first and they went searching...(and yes it is a tradition to wear bunny ears while doing baskets!)
Found them!
Checking out the goods
I would rather sleep
Michaela's first Easter basket, darn...I will just have to eat that candy for her!
