Our Easter Weekend

We had a wonderful Easter weekend!

Saturday was a unique mix of family and friends. Two good friends of ours wed at the Jefferson Memorial and Chris, Gavin, and I celebrated with them at a reception on a cruise of the Potomac.

Here we are indulging in some famous Georgetown Cupcakes on the boat!

When Gavin wasn't sleeping (which was 90% of the time) he was making other other police officer buddies ohhh and ahhh. (Seriously did not ask these policemen to pose for this, a genuine moment! :)

Chris didn't mind showing off his newest "stud" son he'd been bragging to all his buddies about!

Meanwhile, Ethan was having a blast at a friend's Easter Egg Roll party. Our good friend Leslie brought him along to join the festivities. Best part of the day?

Coming home to hearing your friend say "Ethan was an angel today." Made my whole day! Good job buddy!

Easter Sunday we spent the whole day together, starting the morning with seeing what the Easter Bunny brought the boys while they were sleeping.

Gavin's (obviously). Rattles and teethers galore.

Ethan's (obviously). The boy's obsessions in a basket. Firefighters, balls, Thomas the Train, and musical instruments (flutes and whistles are the current fav...groan!).

The Easter Bunny returned during naptime and left Ethan a ton of eggs hidden in the backyard!

What was inside all of the eggs?

Chocolate? Skittles? Gummi Bears?

Ha! Not this year Mr...

Stamps!

They were a hit and entertained all dinner when we dined out.

How many years do you think I can pull this heist off?

Happy Spring!

Here are some adorable shots from an Easter get together we had with some friends.  


Ethan made an entrance holding hands with his lady love, Eva.


(I think it was this GQ pose that won her over)

Ethan showing me his hunt's finds.

"Look Mommy!"
(Of course we were with a cool crowd who didn't hide any candy, they hid even more fun goodies! ;)


 
Is he doing a jig to celebrate the holiday? Or is this just how redheads dance?

One of the dads dressed up in a bunny costume and not a single child got scared.  All of these pictures are from a friend Rene with some great photography skills, you can see her pictures of her own adorable son here. Great day!

Happy Easter!

This morning Ethan awoke to surprises from the Easter Bunny! First, he found a basket filled with his two new favorite things, trains and dinosaurs.



Then he took his basket to hunt for Easter eggs! Of course, with us as parents, the Easter Bunny knew better than to put candy in those eggs. 

 “I’ll show you where to go Mommy!”
 “Where are the rest of them Daddy?”

After finding many more with Daddy... 

Ethan gave him a high five!


First Easter Egg hunt- SUCCESS!
