Easter #2

Easter morning is so much fun! I think Jack and I were actually most excited for the kids to get up and open their baskets. It's rare that we hop out of bed at that first "Maaammmmaaaa" request from Lily's room. But we did yesterday. Easter brings the same anticipation and excitement as Christmas, but on a much more reasonable scale. What's not to love? Lily loved showing her baby brother what the Easter Bunny left him in his basket. Check out his new seat from the Bunny!



Because we celebrate with half the family on Saturday, Jack and I (with the help of my family) are able to host Easter Sunday for my side. Good food and good company made for a great brunch. In our family, food is the focus. We do a good job of carrying on my grandparents' traditions.

Lily and Joey had fun eating at the miniature kids' table. Next year, it will have more chairs around it. We missed you, Ellie.



As usual, Anthony was all smiles. He practiced his walking skills amidst the crowds.



Look at these two! They look like two old souls trapped in baby bodies. Adorable doesn't even begin to explain Kaitlyn and Jack. They celebrated their first Easter in style. Next year they can taste the hlavaka (?). My baby looks like he may have had some in this picture. He looks like he's too full to smile. This year, all they had to do was look cute!



Lily enjoying the benefit of having generous grandparents. You can never have too many Easter baskets.



Happy Easter to you and yours!

Looks like everyone had fun at both Easters. Lily looks like she did a great job coloring eggs. Hope to see everyone sometime this spring (haha, spring...what's that?).

I can't believe you have or make the time to put all these cute pictures on your blog. That is so great! I loved them all and loved seeing all the kids on the stairs at the Schussler's -- lots of rosy cheeks.
You and Jack and your Parents were great hosts at Easter. We all had such a great time. Thanks!
