Happy Easter!

What a splendid Easter weekend we had! We were excited to get a visit from Marmee and Grampy as well as enjoy lots of fun Easter activities.
We started the weekend out on Friday by getting reacquainted with Marmee and Grampy. It wasn't long before Caroline was playing with and showing off for her guests. Grampy helped break the ice too by mesmerizing Caroline with his fancy iPad. Then Marmee and Caroline made bunny cookies together and we all enjoyed a tasty dinner.
On Saturday, we went to the botanical garden despite it being overcast and slightly chilly. We admired the tulips and especially the orchids before loading up and heading out for lunch and naps at home. Marmee was kind enough to do all the Easter brunch cooking and baking while Mommy put her swollen feet up for a good stretch. On Saturday night, Miss Claire came over to sit for Caroline while the adults enjoyed a nice dinner out.
Easter Sunday was a beautiful day and busy with church, an Easter egg hunt, the "opening" of the Easter baskets, and brunch. And as if this wasn't enough fun to pack into one day, Caroline enjoyed a long play session in her pool because it was hot, hot, hot outside!
The only thing that could've made this weekend any better would have been our little peanut sleeping past 5:30am both mornings! I guess she was just so excited to have guests in her house that she just had to get up before the sun!

I was a little snap-happy with the camera this weekend, so please forgive the extra large amount of pics below :)

Caroline loved an extra special part of her Easter basket - a handmade bunny from Grandma Hepper!

Mmmm...bunny cookies!

The dogs had a great weekend too, but Frances couldn't hide her "crazy" from Marmee and Grampy!
