Sunday afternoon the family gathered at my parents place for Easter dinner. It was a simple, yet lovely event. The kids went hunting for eggs and Easter baskets. The adults participated in a game of badminton and all dined on ham, au gratin potatoes, asparagus, and buns. We were even lucky enough to have Great Grandma Lila with us.
Easter was a lot of fun this year with Van. He was a little bit nervous about the idea of a big bunny rabbit coming to our house in the middle of the night, but once he saw the great loot that was left his worries were gone. I tried to do a minimal amount of candy since I new he would be getting some at his grandparents. Heather, from The Coterie, had the great idea of filling plastic eggs with stickers, dinosaur capsules, and other trinkets. Van also got some new Crocs, paint, a basil plant, Silly Putty, and squirt guns.
On Friday we went to This is the Place Heritage Park to take part in the Baby Animal Days. The kids had the opportunity to see baby farm animals like piglets and lambs. They were even able to hold little bunnies and chicks. Van really wanted to ride the ponies, so I stood in line so he and girls could have a chance. It was a cool, breezy day, but we had fun nonetheless.
Gus is almost twelve weeks old and is growing more and more each day. This week he started sitting in the Bumbo. Not only is he a big boy, but he's a strong boy too. 
Have you seen the beautiful HGTV Green Home in Denver, Colorado? It's stunning. Clean, sophisticated, modern. Oh, how I'd love to live there.
