Easter Weekend

We had a great weekend with family this year...in our own house!

I think in all the years that Ry and I have lived away from home, we have ALWAYS gone home to NY for Easter.

This year we decided to open up the invitation to our families to come visit us instead, and figured we would love it if anyone could come, but of course we understood not everyone's schedule would allow for the trip.

Mom and Joe were able to come visit Fri night on their way back to NY from D.C.(where they flew in and out of to spend a week sunning themselves in Sarasota)

We all went to breakfast with the Easter Bunny Saturday morning, and then they had to get back home.

That afternoon my Dad arrived to stay for the night, and we got lucky when the rain finally stopped in the late afternoon and we were able to get outside for some playtime!

That night we managed to squeeze in some time for coloring easter eggs too!

Then the big morning came!!

I put Aidan's basket out on his play table in the living room so he would see it first thing, and Ry and I filled some plastic eggs with M&M's and hid them out in plain sight for him to find. With a little guidance he found them all and got all his "cannies" out of the eggs and into a bowl to munch on.

The highlight of his gifts/baskket was a diecast set of Cars from Disney's Cars. He immediately grabbed the box and ran over to Ry with it saying "open it!!" "open it!"

Since the weather turned out to be simply amazing on Sunday we were able to eat our breakfast out on the deck, and hang out there for a while to play too!
