Easter 2017

We had a subdued Easter this year - Evie ran a fever all weekend long, so Jamie and I took turns staying home with her.  She's doing well now thankfully!

Easter Bunny at daycare - as expected,
Evie is not impressed.

We attempted to color eggs using the "cool whip" approach... they turned out pretty pale and lame, but playing with fluffy cool whip was fun!  Luckily we had the regular dye cups, so half of the eggs turned out good!

Saturday we did brunch at my parents' house, and the kids had a great time hunting for eggs and playing together.  We got to see Zach and Katy which was really nice!

Decorating eggs with Grandma - markers and stickers are
way cleaner than dye!

Trying to hug a very busy Sarah

Outta my way!  

It was so beautiful outside that we took off Maggie's
tights and she stomped around barefoot with Luke

Somehow Sarah managed to get three bags of eggs...
she's a sly one

Sunday morning the girls looked for eggs and their baskets.  Maggie's favorite gift was her Moana lego set, and Evie's favorite gift was a pair of pink rain boots.  We all went to church together later that morning and then Evie crashed for the rest of the day.  Maggie was thrilled to be wearing her "special yellow dress," which I think reminded her of princess Belle.  Maggie loved seeing her cousins on the Donoghue side afterward!

Pretty sure I could have give her empty plastic
eggs and she would have been thrilled

Cash money!

A great way to keep a toddler occupied

Jamie's student needed a kid photo for a class assignment,
I just love Evie's little face in the foreground

Not a care in the world

Jamie and his Dad went to the last Pistons game at the Palace last week.  Everyone is pretty excited about the new stadium in Detroit, but I know Jamie has a lot of memories at the Palace and is a little sad to see the Pistons move.

George Blaha!

Today is Evie's last day to be 1 - had to take a picture of her right before bedtime:

It's almost my birthday!
