Easter 2010

We had a wonderful Easter this year. The day before Easter we took the girls to the Easter Bunny train ride in Whippany. It was really hot on the train but the girls had fun taking a ride and seeing the bunny.

On Easter Sunday we did our Easter Basket hunt and then went to church and then to visit Grandmom, Pop Pop and Nana along with our cousins. The kids had such a great time together.

Spring Cookies & Spring Showers

It has been raining a lot around here lately and April isn't even here yet! We can't wait for the sun and some time at the playground or in the backyard. We've just been wearing a whole lot of rain gear. Like this...

Poor thing ~ she needs a little raincoat. Hopefully I can find a little Hello Kitty one to match her boots. Oh and she goes through the hat/glove basket and makes her own selections. Totally not worth messing with it. :-)

It is days like this that make me wish we could put our car in the garage. Lugging kids in and out of the car when it is pouring is not fun. But there are worse problems to have so we try to make the best of it and do some baking, reading, playing and spending time with friends and hopefully the sun will be shining soon.

We baked cookies this week. I'd like to say they were Easter cookies but aside from some bunny cookies cutters I had, they were more like Spring cookies - no cross, no eggs - just butterflies, tulips and a random cupcake. The girls had a lot of fun with making the dough and tasting it, cutting the cookies and tasting them, making the frosting and tasting it and decorating the cookies and tasting the decorations. Do you see a trend here? It was really nice that Lauren could really participate too. She was a pretty good listener too except for when I told her no more chocolate chips and she kept sneaking them.

Making the Dough - Don't let Lauren's face fool you - she had fun, really she did. :-)
