Easter 2016

Wasn't Easter just yesterday? I swear it was, but apparently it was almost two months ago. That is a mark as to how fast time is flying this year. The year is just one month away from being half gone! We had some special visitors for Easter this year. My brother, Jeremy, and his family came for spring break/Easter. It is always great when they come to visit. It makes for an enjoyable time. We were hoping that we'd have all the little cousins together for a big Easter egg hunt, but Jake's kids were sick and had to miss out. It was our first time having a big hunt with Jeremy's kids, Zach and Lexi. We also had Audrina, Jeremy's sister-in-law's little one.

The kids had a great time spending the days with their cousins. It was nie to have someone for them to play with for a few days of spring break. We even had some grown-up bonding times by playing some games while the kids watched movies. I even talked Josh into seeing Batman vs. Superman (which he was adamant to never waste a dime on) and we left the kiddos with mom (poor mom) to enjoy an evening out.

We went to the town Easter Egg Dash and Evie came away with over $7.00 in change from all of the eggs she got. It marks a year if finality for us. This was Alex's last year to participate in the dash, as he will be too old next year. It kind of makes me sad, but I suppose it was bound to happen sooner or later. I'm not sure what that will mean for him next year. He will be the only one sitting out and I hope it doesn't make him too sad. Even Wesley will still be able to go. I think I'll make up something for him to feel included, like helping Evie get eggs. I bet he'd enjoy that.

On Easter morning, we had an impromptu Easter dinner with Jeremy and his family. We didn't plan it and it ended up being quite delicious. I even made my traditional bunny cake. The kids got some tasty treats from the Easter bunny and everyone had a great time.
