HAPPY EASTER!!!

We had the most fun, relaxing family day at home with special lunch guests in the middle and spurts of sunshine.  

The kids had a blast finding their Easter baskets, even though Kate was convinced that the Bunny had not left anything for her because she did not see eggs outside in the grass.  

Max was thrilled to find his basket and even more thrilled to see that the Easter Bunny left a new lego fire engine under the basket.  He spent the rest of the day putting together and playing with his fire truck.  

Anna loved the eggs, did not care what was in the eggs, just wanted to open and shut the eggs and put them in and out of the basket (ahem, sounds a little like Max to me). 

During rain spurts we read our new books, played games, ate a special breakfast and cooked.

 

During sunshine, we ran around outside and caught a few pics.

Mimi and Pop Pop graced us with their presence for a few hours straight off an airplane from NYC.  They spoiled the kids with more books and introduced them to ballet through a special video they found at the MET.  

 We had the most marvelous dinner thanks to Chef Peter.  The kids did a spectacular job of setting the table and making lots of cute surprises for their guests (and themselves). The lemon-poppyseed flower pots were a hit. Our little Anna has been practicing her spoon skills, so today she had a "silver spoon" for her Easter meal. 

It was a very special day all around and we are so thankful to be blessed with a healthy, happy family.
