Big Weekend!

This weekend was full of excitement! Jim was off all day and I had a half day on Friday so we ran errands, looked for patio furniture, and got a Costco membership ($209 was our first trip- yikes!). We spent time cleaning up in preparation for our big weekend of hosting.

First, on Saturday, the Bostons from NC came for dinner and chatting. It is amazing how big their son Alex has gotten since the last time we saw them.

Sunday morning we got up, ate French toast and looked around for what The Bunny brought. Nicole, with a little suggestion finally found both her and Chris's baskets hiding in the tent.

Nicole got new sunglasses, nail polish, candy, stickers & princess socks.

Chris got some eggs with Cheerios in them, a pirate book, some NumNum crackers & a toy

We kept checking in with my parents and brother on Lindsay's progress. Her water broke the night before and she was in labor all night. We ultimately decided to go to Church and visit her at the hospital after (she hadn't had the baby by the time we left). Here we are on our way:

When we got to the hospital Lauren Elizabeth was getting a bath so we had to wait a little bit to meet her. She was worth the wait though. :)

When we got home we ate lunch and the kids went down for a nap so we could clean up for Easter (we were hosting dinner). Here are the kiddos in their Easter outfits:



Chris is so close to crawling. He technically did move in crawling fashion last night at the party but didn't go very far. I'm sure today he'll have lots of practice at the open play area at daycare. :)

Congrats to your bro and sis! Lauren is beautiful.

The video of Nik singing is oh so cute. I'm gonna have to get my kids singing a Lady GaGa song. :-) Funny how they catch certain words and mouth others.
