Living the Good Life: Happy Easter!

It's the morning after Easter and I'm sitting here with a permanent smile on my face as I remember all the fun we had this weekend. We started the basket giving a little early because Papa had to head off to work in Tulsa for the week and was going to miss Easter Sunday. Their basket was made to look like a sock monkey and it was adorable! On top of all the candy, Grammy and Papa also got him a collection of Beatrix Potter DVD's, including the stories of Peter Rabbit. He's been watching the videos at their house for ages and has really enjoyed them, so they got him a set for home too. Thank you Grammy & Papa for the very sweet gift!

On Friday, we all ventured to the lake to meet up with Ryan, Cindy, and Jillian. We had high hopes of a beautiful weekend playing outside and hunting Easter eggs, but mother nature had another plan in mind - rain. It rained, and it rained, and it rained. All day Saturday and all day Sunday. But of course we didn't let that spoil our good time, and the rain was beyond needed so we weren't about to complain. We improvised the Easter egg hunt and hid them inside the house, which turned out to be a very suitable alternative. The kids had to stop and open each and every egg to uncover the bounty hidden inside before they could move on to the next one. They were hilarious and true to what you'd expect from a couple of 2 year olds. Afterwards, we all said good-bye and headed back to Edmond to find out what the Easter Bunny had left for Nicholas at home. He walked in his bedroom, saw his basket sitting on his bed, and his little jaw hit the floor. Priceless!!! After playing with his new toys for a bit, we loaded up and headed to the movie theater to see Rio. Greg didn't get to go with us for Nicholas' first movie a few months ago so it was really nice to have us all together for some family time. This entire holiday was such a lovely time and I'm just so happy to have had our family to celebrate it with.
