come for Easter weekend. even though we aren't completely moved in and i have half-painted walls and a really messy garage, i REALLY wanted them to come. i know we would have a great time and the kids would all be very happy, especially since we have 5x the bathroom space :)
we spent the first day hanging out, letting the kids play outside, taking pics of cute, little Brielle, and then had some yummy soup for din-din that night.
unfortunately, the Lake's plan to visit DC the next day was pretty much an obstacle course only to come to our house. just so you know for the future, DON'T COME TO DC DURING SPRING BREAK! it is crazy and the busiest weekend of the year. i felt sooo bad it didn't work out for them, but they will just have to come again in the summer so we can spend some time downtown. the pizza and strawberry shortcake later that night all made us feel better. we had a pretty mean game of bump out and i kicked every one's butt, especially Brian's :)
we had two easter bunnies this year: their name were McKenna and Olivia. they spent about 5 hours filling eggs and actually took/wasted time color-coordinating the candy that went with the matching egg. ridiculous. and then, Easter morning, they both went out and hid them in the yard.
now let me say, we did not get all dressed up in our Easter finest and went to church. that is completely the Lakes' fault because we had to stay behind and give them a proper farewell. maybe next year we will be more religious :)
can you tell they just woke up?
so Izzy discovered her chocolate bunny....

i kid you not....5 minutes lates....
cute little Brielle, and yes, that is Brian's hiney in the background :)
i feel so sorry for the man that marries Olivia...

Jen you guys are so good to your kids. What a fun Easter. And, I've got to say, your house seems awesome. I love those white kitchen chairs! This summer I'm on a hunt to find 2 more unmatched wooden chairs so I can paint them white and put them around our table. Right now we are using black folding chairs...ghetto? I know. That would have been fun to spend the holiday with you guys. Can't wait to see you in May.
love you,
heather
P.S. and by the way, I'm pretty sure I get you all to my self in Sun Valley. There are way too many cute pics of Brielle:)
It is so good to hear from you even if it is just through the blogging world... I didn't even know that you had this family blog but your kids are darling all of them are little models..... Hope everything is going good and congratulations on moving into a new house but I know how much work it is and it is not fun.... Well give us a call when you come out we would love to her from you.....
