Our Easter Weekend

Easter weekend started out on Saturday with a great breakfast made by Mike. He really wanted to use the waffle maker that made tweetybird waffles just for Cole so we did! For ingredients and how we got tweetybird go here.

Lunch was even better! Yummy quesadilla's! Go here for instructions.
Later in the afternoon we went over to the Cotten's for "make your own pizza" night and Easter egg dying.

This is baby Jacob. Cole adores him and wants a baby Jacob of his own.

While Nicole was getting the pizza dough formed into circles for everyone I photographed the kids outside.

Yes, she did eat it in the dirt. She is still a little unsteady on her feet. I think shoes make it worse.







Siena did her best to keep up with the big boys. She is such a trooper!

While the adults were distracted by other things the boys broke into the master bedroom and enjoyed a little bed jumping time.

Nicole was in charge of dough and sauce and I brought toppings. So much to choose from!

The boys had the best time making their own pizza's.




Dylan went for vegetarian while Cole had a mix of meat and veggies.





Sunday morning the kids went on the hunt for their Easter baskets.





The chap stick was more of a joke because Cole will take ours and hide from us and eat it. We got him marshmallow flavored chap stick and in case you are wondering, yes he did eat most of it with in an hour.

We had so much fun at the Cotten's we for got to dye eggs, so while Siena was napping Cole dyed the eggs.



Lunch was awesome. We made Orzo salad and fruit salad. Mike's mom made bread (the best freaking bread EVER! - will have recipe soon), ham, and a cheesecake.

We celebrated Mike's birthday.

The weather was not cooperative (hence the indoor family photo) so the kids did not get to hunt for easter eggs. We may attempt one this weekend and claim the Easter Bunny hid them really well.

Aimmee, the food you make/eat looks so delicious and healthy!!! And this may sound weird to you but when I was looking at the photos of Cole and his little budy, who are practically twins, they reminded me so much of my twins: Cole being more like Eric and the other little guy being Patrick...not just looks but just overall...:) Great photos as usual.
