easter

easter 2014 was great.  max's last day at school was the thursday before good friday and he attended an easter egg hunt put on by the extended care staff.  so fun!  on good friday he hung out with dad and just relaxed.  the following day we baked cookies that we shared with our closest neighbors together with home made easter cards by max.  and we colored eggs.  we spent a beautiful easter sunday with the uffelmans as we often do.  it started off with an easter egg hunt in their amazing backyard.  brinn and finn got half a minute start on the boys to ensure that everyone got eggs.  we had a fabulous brunch including mimosas and bloody mary's.  the weather couldn't have been better.  days like these remind us of how incredibly fortunate we are - to live in this amazing place with our healthy and beautiful kids and the best of friends.  so thankful!

ready to go easter egg hunting!
