Easter has come and gone...what a day! We started off bright and early with Nana and Papa Petersen. We had ham and eggs, french toast, potatoes...and the most delicious Bavarian cream bread braid! Wes got his first official Easter basket filled with what else...burp cloths! There was also a stuffed bunny, extra onesies, because I can't keep up with the volcano's laundry, an outfit, and a baseball hat. Of course Nana Petersen spoiled him rotten. Sadie, Willa, and Quinn joined us and the twins had a great Easter egg hunt...can't wait for Quinn and Wes to join in the fun! When breakfast had settled and we thought we were safe from any major eruptions we hit the road and headed to Auntie Mary's for lunch. We got to see some family we hadn't seen in awhile, and even meet some new friends. Luke and Liv joined us there, and even with bloody noses and fevers the party went on. Liv loved her swim goggles the best and Luke was pretty keen on his super squad coloring book...once he decided he did like it! Wes and Luke even got matching bathing suits to wear on Duxbury Beach this summer. One of the most special events of the day was when Captain gave Wes his first official beanie baby from Nana Toomey's collection. She was totally one of those people who fought crowds for the latest creature and was super proud of her ginormous collection. Little did we know that someday they would provide endless gifts to the grandchildren she got to meet...even if only for a bit...and those she watches over from her beautiful home in heaven. I think these small tokens mean more to us, but someday the kids will know just how special those little bags of beans are!
Our busy day ended with a last minute stop at the Nye's, our future babysitter Lexi was just dying to meet the little man so we wanted to make sure she got a chance to snuggle our little bunny! We had a great day and Wes even let me sleep for 6 hours! Hope you all had a great day too...there is nothing better than a sunny 75 degree day filled with family, friends, and candy!
