The kids and I went down to PA for a few days right before Easter. It was Uncle Philip's birthday and we wanted to be with him on his last birthday before heading out to Rexburg for school. Here he is opening the massive box the kids gave him with a gift card and a bunch of pictures inside.
Shae wrote him a chapter book :).
I loved having an excuse to finally try out this Reeses Peanut Butter Cheesecake that I've been eyeing for a long time. And thankfully, despite the fact that the cheesecake dripped through the bottom of the pan and lit the oven on fire and filled the house with smoke, it survived and tasted great. THANK GOODNESS.
Mmmmmmmmmmm
My mom put together a fun little easter egg hunt for the kids the evening before we left. This has become a fun thing the kids look forward to each year as we've been able to go home each year closeish to Easter since moving to NY.
We also got to die some eggs (and fingers) while there.
The kids came home sick.
Which meant that our actual Easter, and GC weekend looked a lot like this:
We had a super simple ham dinner, just the four of us. While I was sad we didn't end up getting together with anyone for the holiday, it was probably better that way since we were able to just relax and take it easy and try and get better.
We did start a tradition last year of getting a family game for Easter. This year we got Toy Story Yahtzee. It's one of those games that I really don't mind playing over and over again, and both kids love it. Score.
The only time we actually did leave our apartment Easter weekend was for a quick, and cold Easter egg hunt with a bunch of friends from church.
And then it was back to...
