Easter 2016

Easter 2016 passed in a flash, but it was a wonderful weekend spent with Marmee and Grampy here in Richmond. We spent our time together baking for Easter, dying eggs, enjoying fun holiday events, and working on a special project in the backyard.

Let the record show that the girls' first-ever trip to Costco was (appropriately)with Grampy.
2016 is the year of our first backyard garden! Thanks to Daddy and Grampy, our garden box is built and ready for planting later this month.
Egg dying time!

We had breakfast with the Easter bunny at the Commonwealth Club.
The girls were thrilled to see a real bunny (brought by Johnathon the Juggler).

After breakfast, it was on to church for the Easter egg hunt and craft time.
