April 2015: Easter Fun

Easter 2015 was a little more low key this year.  Brett and his mom took a long weekend and drove to Washington D.C. to deliver some wedding supplies to his sister Jillian.  So, the kids and I spent the Easter holiday with Nana and Papa.

Nana always comes up with fun things to do.  This year she found these crazy Bunny hats to wear as we decorated our eggs.

I decided to go out on a limb and make my deviled eggs look like baby chicks hatching from their shells.  They turned out pretty adorable, BUT were A LOT more work!  I think I will go back the classic presentation next time.

The weather was great for the annual Easter Egg hunt.  With Kate and Will being the only grandkids on my side, they usually end up feeling like it's Christmas by the end of the day.   Maybe that's why Nana kept her Xmas tree up?
 (see previous photo!!)

Kate's baskets keep getting higher and higher each year.


Will was SO excited for "The Feast!"  My mom sets up a big long table for everyone to gather for holiday dinners and Will absolutely LOVES it!   And Papa caved and let Will have one of the turkey legs this year!  Will was in HEAVEN! 

He chopped on that turkey leg for quite awhile.  Kate just stuck to her sliced turkey and mashed potatoes :)

Finally,  we had the swim team banquet in April.  This was our first year and really didn't know what to expect.  The event was formal with great food and wonderful awards and recognition.  It was so fun seeing how cute these swimmers look all dressed up without a swim cap and suit on!!
