Today we celebrated Easter with our best buddies the Schwarz’s. Hadley and the kids had a blast with a very balmy Easter egg hunt. She got a cool umbrella with Elmo on it, and lots of yummy candy! (Which mommy and daddy ate most of!) Makai and Hadley had a little trouble focusing on the fact that they were supposed to be getting eggs and not just running around, but since it was so cold, Lindsey just picked up the rest of the eggs and shuffled everybody inside.

After that it was off to dye Easter Eggs. Hadley did much better than last year, and really seemed to enjoy herself. She liked throwing the eggs into the cups. Dawson had a good time and Makai could’ve cared less. Lael spent most of the time crawling around the floor and enjoying the opportunity to play with toys without having to battle the older kids for them.

We had a wonderful meal of ham and cheesy potatoes, and it was great to spend time with friends. After eating, we sat downstairs and let the kids play. Garrett and I talked about how we really missed the times we used to have with them when Dawson was a baby. We used to spend 3-4 nights a week hanging out, watching movies or playing games. That’s had to settle down with the kids and Garrett’s work schedule, but hopefully in the future, we will be able to pick it up again.
