We had an early Easter this year. It's rough to have your first "spring" Holiday when there's still a nip in the air and a threat of snow in the forecast, and those cute little Easter dresses always seem to have to get covered up with a sweater. Portraits must be taken in front of what seems to be everlasting winter trees with no signs of spring bursting from their branches. We made the most of this early Easter, though, and the girls didn't care one little bit that it wasn't warm enough to wear their dresses without the sweaters or have their picture taken in front of barren landscape. They were happy for Holiday, and happy to be spending it with Meme and Papa!
We arrived at Meme and Papa's house on Friday afternoon. All the girls (Meme, Jocelyn, Reagan & Mommy made miniature Easter cakes. These cakes happen to be one of my FAVORITE Easter treats of all time. It was so fun to make them with my little girls. Even if we did screw up the cake batter and ended up having to make double the recipe we wanted to make.
On Saturday, we went to an Easter event at a park nearby my parents house. The girls got to hunt in an Easter egg hunt with 150,000 eggs! They were allowed to pick p as many eggs as they could handle! It was a really fun event for everyone!
Saturday evening, we went out to dinner at a restaurant owned by
Michael Symon, called the
B Spot. It was a yummy dinner with some pretty decent gourmet burgers! Afterward we went to
Menchies and that was equally as cool, as the girls got to build their very own frozen yogurt sundae. YUMMO! We got home and continued in the fun of Easter by dyeing some Easter eggs!
That night before bed, the girls left their baskets out for the Easter Bunny with some plastic eggs to hide. They also left the Bunny a thank you note and a plate of carrots. They thought he may enjoy a little snack while delivering the baskets to all the children. They are too sweet!
The next morning the girls were all set to find the eggs and their baskets.
Jocelyn found Reagan's basket first, and had to search for her basket for quite some time. She never gave up, though.
After the Easter morning festivities we all went to church, then went back to Meme and Papa's for lunch, and headed back to Pittsburgh to have dinner with the Forrester side of the family.
The girls got all dressed up in the Easter outfits Grandma bought them
and we headed to The Golden Corral for a buffet-style Easter dinner.
Unfortunately I forgot the camera for dinner, so I have no pictures.
SOrry Grandma!
It was a SUPER fun and busy Easter and we all had a great time! Thank so much Meme and Papa for having us and making our Easter so much fun! We love you!
Afterwards we enjoyed a delicious luncheon and celebration at Buca Di Beppo.
