Easter Weekend

  This is such a beautiful time of year.  It is starting to get warm again and all around you can see the  rebirth of nature.  It has also a wonderful time to be with family.  My sister Sarah drove down from Washington to spend Easter weekend with us.  She had heard me tell of how wonderful the parties are at Matt's cousin Marnie's so she came to see for her self.  We have also tried to work on creating and rehashing traditions with the girls since they are starting to get old enough to start doing fun stuff.  
   Saturday we walked over to the Riverton Park with Emme to attend their Easter Hunt.  The wind was blowing so it made it chilly.  Emme loved the Easter Bunny they had there she gave him hugs and even a good bye kiss.  I was afraid she would freak like she did with Santa.  She was really good waiting till it was time.  She grabbed all the foam masks they had laying out.  And got a stuffed bunny for each girl.  Then we went to get Livi from Grandma's.  Who gave them new pjs and stuffed bunnies for Easter.  Emme was happy when we got home to show off her new toys to Auntie Sarah. And got even more stuffies from Grandma Olsen.  We made cakes and deviled eggs to take with us to Marnie's.
    Easter morning Emme couldn't wait to get into her basket.  She wanted her toys and her sister's too.  They both enjoyed what the Easter bunny left.  We always attend the family brunch and Easter egg hunt at Marnie's  There is always so much good food, and we get to see the family.  Emme loves spending time with Aspen. She was more interested in being on the trampoline then the hunt.  Poor Livi is teething again and just wanted to be held.  We had so much fun visiting and eating.  It is funny how complete strangers can become your family.  Matt's family is mine and mine is his.  And I don't think we would have it any other way.
