Easter 2012

We spent Friday night and Saturday up in Midway for Easter weekend. We went swimming Friday night, and spent the next day just hanging out and playing games at the house on Saturday. It was chillllly!
 

 

The boys had so much fun dying eggs

We let Pippi in on the action too. We gave her a hard-boiled egg and let her hold it smash it on her high chair tray to her heart's content.

The boys were so excited to hunt for their baskets.
Oliver's was in Penelope's closet and Hud's was up on a shelf in the back hallway. 

Penelope got a new Pat The Bunny book, a ruffle blanket, lace leggings, books, a girly jack-in-the-box, baby food and her Easter headband.

Here are the boys modeling their new swim goggles they got in their baskets. They are never short of poses!

A little nervous of her little lambie popping up at her!

We tried taking several normal family pictures, and this silly one is by far the best one not to mention
my favorite! I'm so glad these kids have the personalities they do!

My cousin Andy with Pip Tart. The whole Rawlings fam had dinner with us. We always have THE BEST food when we eat with them. Our menu was TDF!

Teato and Penelope
Me and my Sweetness

I made this delish fresh lemonade cake for dessert, as well as a new lemon/dill Yukon gold potato recipe that I loved. Both were very Springy and fresh!
That's all for Easter...
now on to some other April highlights:

Hudson's cute little girly friend Lily C. moved in March about an hour away from us, and they had been missing each other, so we invited her over for a sleepover. We had a pizza party and rented a movie for that night, and then everyone was waaay too wound up to go to bed. The boys ended up falling asleep after we separated all of them, but poor Lily didn't end up falling asleep until about 11 pm that night. All three of them are such good little friends!

And lastly, here are some pictures of this little doll. 

MUAH!
