Friday morning we got up early, finished packing and got on the road heading to my parents' around 8 am. I think were all excited to have another weekend with family. It was a really nice drive and the kids were great. Kallen was in underwear the whole time with no accidents (yes, we did have to stop for a few potty breaks), but we were pretty excited about it! When we got to my parents', we found my dad in the garage working on some wooden toys for the kids... it was so great seeing him back doing his woodwork. It's certainly been awhile since he's felt up to doing it. The kids enjoyed some alone time with him while Tim and I went shopping.
Saturday morning we visited with Tim's parents for awhile and then headed to the Mindoro Easter egg hunt. The kids were so excited for it and Tim and I were certainly looking forward to seeing some friends we haven't seen in awhile. It was pretty chilly out and wet, but the kids still had a lot of fun getting eggs. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get many pictures.
Tim visiting with a good friend, Doug, and the kids waiting in line to put their tickets in the prize buckets.
That afternoon, the kids decorated a bunny cake that Nana had made while we were gone and then we had fun dyeing Easter eggs.
They certainly had fun decorating him...
Saturday evening Grandma Anderson (my dad's mom) and Ore, a good friend of hers, came over for dinner. Kallen can be pretty shy around some people, which is so weird because he's normally so loud and outgoing, but he crawled right up in his Great-Grandma's lap...
and fell asleep pretty quickly!
After dinner, Tim, Wyatt (bro), Liz (Wyatt's girlfriend) and I played some Rummy 500. We love playing this game. Grandma even joined us for a few hands!
Here we were hoping that we'd get to sleep in a bit on Sunday morning since we all went to bed pretty late. We should have known better... Isaiah and Kenzie were up before 6:00 am ready to see what the Easter bunny brought. We had to wake Kallen up, but as soon as he heard 'Easter bunny', he was wide awake!
Kallen was sooooo excited about his triceratops night light!
Kenzie couldn't believe that the Easter bunny would hide an egg in the sugar jar
Isaiah didn't mind having to crawl up on the table to get an egg off the light
Yes, Kenzie got pretty pink fingernails that morning :)
Isaiah finally found his Easter basket outside!
Sunday afternoon was spent with the kids playing and hanging out with Papa in his cozy chair
This hat has been around for YEARS and is always being worn by someone, usually the kids, when we're around. I guess it was Papa's turn to wear it!
The adults played some cards and the kids had fun blowing bubbles outside, even though it was pretty chilly out. They would go out for awhile, come back and warm up, then head back out again and so on. Kenzie had quite a bit of fun twirling in the midst of the bubbles.
We had an early Easter dinner with everyone and then we packed up and got on the road. We were sad to leave, but we know we'll be seeing family again in a couple of weeks. Overall, it was a GREAT family weekend! Being so far away really makes us enjoy our time with family so much more. <3
