Spring Break and Easter!

We're back!  After a fun few weeks of pre-Easter celebrations, spring break with Mommy and more Easter celebrations!

To start, we headed up to Ba & Pops for an early Easter celebration while both Aunt Megan and Aunt Kait were home.  So many family members were there and we had a great time with the annual Easter egg hunt.

Reunited and it feels so good! 

Lily is with the BIG kids this year!

Goodbye, for now! 

Now it's time for SPRING BREAK! Lily, John and Mom had such a fun week.  Lily was off the whole week and Mom worked from home a few mornings so we could spend the afternoons together.

Monday Lily and Mom visited Color Me Mine and painted pottery. It was so much fun and the finished products are just beautiful. We painted a flower vase, a horse and a small dog.

The finished products!  

Monday evening we picked up Johnny early and played some baseball and then dyed some eggs with Daddy at night!  Monday was a great day! 

Home run!

BEST DADDY!

Wednesday we visited the Easter bunny in the morning and then went to the Zoo in the afternoon with our neighbors, Stella and Remy.  We had the best day of the week, weather-wise.  It was so fun!

Lizards and reptiles!

Stella and Johnny on the carousel.  She was so sweet and rode with him! 

Lily and Remy in the snake basket.  It spins round and round.  Lily loved it! 

Thursday afternoon we went with more neighbors to Longwood Gardens.  It was fantastic.  They have an orchid exhibit, which was just stunning and made us think of our Auntie A!  Lily had to get a picture near a few.  The children's garden was the best part, the kids had a ball running around.

Orchids! 

Fun in the children's garden. 

The spooky pond!

Lily found the perfect spot for a group photo.

Friday John, Lily and I visited Linvilla for a few hours to feed the animals and play on the playground. They had a nice time!  John especially loved the trackers!

Geese!

We have an adventurous climber! 

John joined Lily on her favorite climbing structure! 

Then we came home for a nap.  :) 

EASTER! Easter was great.  The Easter Bunny paid us a VERY early morning visit and the kids loved running around after eggs at 7:30am.  After egg hunting, and basket discovery, we packed up and headed to Aunt Briana's and Uncle Tony's for the day.  We had an awesome time and the best part was that the EASTER BUNNY CAME TO VISIT!!!

Eggs!

Running, running. 

Lily filled up two big bags!

Johnny wanted to open each one he picked up to see the prize. 

A little help from Dad.

Baskets!

This makes me laugh.  

Happy Easter to all!  Welcome Spring!
