Easter

We spent Easter with The Treese family and we loved it.
We did it a bit backwards Easter dinner on Easter
but we waited until Monday for the Easter Egg Hunt.
Which was the fastest Easter Egg Hunt EVER.

First: Dinner
I've said it before but my MIL Peggy is an amazing hostess.
So I am constantly taking notes.

I know- fabulous.

By the way...do you see the beets on the table?
Puke.
worst. food. ever.
Butter on the other hand, The Treese's love their butter almost more than Paula Deen.
The dinner was awesome,
I ate it one hand style because Ginger has an internal sense when it's dinner time
It's amazing how you learn to operate with a baby in one arm, leaving only one arm for the other.

I am so happy I have awesome nieces and nephews
because holidays just are not the same without kids.
Here we are getting our craft on.

I cant wait until next year with her!

It was a great Easter!

Later my parents sent me pictures of their Easter celebration.
They went to Long Beach to celebrate my Dad's cousin Justin retiring from the Marines.
Go Justin!

As you can see my Dad's side of the family celebrates slightly differently...

I hope my dad doesn't follow my blog or I'm going to be in trouble for posting this picture.

Holidays are SO HARD.
I wish we could be two different places at one time.
I love our families,
as different as they are it only adds to the awesomeness.

And finally...here is my lovebug.

No Easter pics, she practically slept the whole day.
I want to (and will) post more pictures but seriously we have
hundreds so I need to decide which ones.
Amber took this one.
Casey wanted it taken on his mom's fox fur coat and
I just prayed the whole time she would not choose this time to have a blow out.
By the way Amber I love you SO much! Thanks for cooperating with Ms. Attitude.
Me or Ginger...take your pick.

Both sides.

Nicole- you are a doll, thanks for helping my self esteem. I just cant wait for that stupid brown line down the stomach to go away. When does that happen? Cant wait for you to meet Ginger.

And I cant believe you all like beets. You are all weird. Im normal.
