Happy Easter!

Happy Easter Everyone!



We just LOVE Easter! 2 years ago we had a very special delivery from the Easter bunny, and since then we are just overjoyed during this holiday. This year we had a wonderful Easter. Nana arrived late Friday night. Saturday morning we woke up and headed into Central Market to pick up some yummy desserts for dinner. Aunt Samantha, Uncle Sean, Sara, and Lauren arrived around lunch time and we spent the majority of the day watching the kiddos play together. They had so much fun. Nana bought them some battery powered bubble blowers and they had a big bubble war. They also played on Will's slide and in the sandbox. Lauren has started a new snail shell collection that she is keeping at our house. After some outside play they all came in to dye some Easter eggs. The girls picked out a glitter egg kit and they turned out GREAT! William really wasn't into dying the eggs, but he enjoyed playing with his new grocery cart, play food and microwave that the girls brought him. They played with them when they were little and now it is Will's turn. We had a yummy ham dinner with roasted sweet potatoes and asparagus. YUMM-O! Will had pretty much exhausted himself on Saturday and went to bed before dessert. The rest of the night was spent watching the girls and Uncle Colby playing the Wii.



Today we woke up to rain and wind, but we really didn't mind because we so desperately need it. The Easter Bunny was very smart and hid the eggs all around the house, and on both the front and back porches. The kids had a great time searching for eggs and really seemed to enjoy the baskets that the bunny and Nana brought them. After the big hunt the kids played with some play do, played Wii Music, and with Will's train. We had creme brulee french toast for breakfast with fresh fruit and bacon. The Herfurths left right before lunch time and Nana left right after. We sure were sad to see everyone go, but we had such a good time and hope to see them again soon! Nothing beats great food and even better company! :-)



This afternoon William took a nice long nap, Daddy went on a bike ride, and Mommy has been catching up on the computer. Will and Daddy are working in the gardens now because it has shaped up to be a gorgeous day. Later today some friends are coming over for dinner, and we are looking forward to that.



We are very blessed to have had such a wonderful weekend with family and friends.



Here are lots of pictures from the weekend. The majority were taken by Uncle Sean who did a wonderful job of capturing some very candid shots.

Love to to all,

The Tates

We'll post a blog from Will's birthday tomorrow :-)
