Easter

Easter in photos....

 coloring easter eggs.

 easter egg hunt

 

 (for sure my favorite moment captured! big cous helping lil cous get an egg in the bush. i crack up every time i see it. that is some serious business right there!)

 sweetest moment captured (d is so super sweet with the boys)

 the little cousins

 the big cousins and little cousins together

 it's so weird to look at this and remember as a lil girl it was just us three sisters. my cousin angela (who is my age and grew up like a sister with us). and johnny and jeffrey (our older boy cousins who were/are like brothers to us)! now we've got kids ( caleb and lucas) (dom and soph), hubs (dave), wife(chrissy), and girlfriend(emily) in there...and not everyone is in the pic (cameron and joey are missing!)!

 the boys' favorite moment i think.

 it was a busy and full weekend of preparing and baking and cleaning and getting ready for easter sunday. easter mass was beautiful. i saw people from high school that are now married and have children and i was just wondering exactly when it was that we all grew up? the music was beautiful and of course on days like easter and christmas and special time with family i always think of my nani and poppy and feel them near and see them in my family. in smiles and laughter and time together. today there was a hummingbird outside our yard (my poppy's favorite bird) caleb was able to get super close to it and it didn't fly away. it stayed awhile. moments like that make me smile and remember sweetly my nani and poppy. family traditions continue with them in our hearts.

and a few other pics from my phone...

my cousin angela snapped this on our saturday morning run. it was a gorgeous morning and it was so special to be able to run with her while we were down! 

sweet lucas. another pic captured by my cousin angela. i love this one!  

such a sweet bond they have

 car drive! (so totally not wanting to get in the car anytime soon! lol!)

Happy halfway through the week Wednesday!
