This weekend was beyond pleasant, it was great! My mom was here all last week and we enjoyed having her. On Friday night the whole family got together at our place and made cafe rio (it really does taste like the real thing if anyone is interested in the recipe) and the kids dyed eggs.
Saturday morning the kiddos got their Easter baskets and we did an egg hunt. It was so much fun! Easton was cleanin' up with the eggs, but he did leave some for his brother. At the end the baskets were almost to heavy for them to carry. Luke had to be introduced to the whole idea. He didn't really get it when he picked up his first egg and we told him to put it in his basket. But after about the 3rd egg, he was looking hard for them. He was even still looking when they had all been found and was so sad that it was over and we had to go back inside. Also, I'm glad we did the hunt on Saturday because it was a beautiful sunny day, and it rained all day Sunday. Saturday afternoon just the girls went shopping for about 5 hours without the husbands and kids. We even met up with my best friend for about an hour. It was fun to see Tiffany again!
Sunday was of course a nice day, being Easter and all, but it was also my sister's birthday! (My sister-in-law's too, but she lives in Utah so we didn't get to celebrate with her, Happy Birthday MJ!) We had a big ham dinner with my sister's family and some yummy cake and ice cream too. This weekend is one for the books!

Sounds like you guys had a really great weekend! We did too, it was so nice. We were talking about having dinner with you guys last year for Easter and how much we miss you. Fun for you that you got to have your mom there, that is nice. Well take care and call me anytime.
Sounds like you had a great holiday! That would be so cute seeing the boys try to carry their too heavy baskets!
I would love to get that recipe for cafe rio. Jon would love me forever if I made it for him. It sounds like you guys had tons of fun on Easter. Your boys are so cute!
