Easter 2008

Congratulations "Untle B" & "Aunt Kansas"!!! We are so excited that you are getting married!!

Mom, Dad, and my future sister came to visit for Easter weekend. Yep that's right folks, my "baby" brother is getting married. We couldn't be happier for him and Candace. As you can see above, Candace has such a wonderful heart and sweet spirit. Cole & Savannah took to her immediately and Cole even gave her a nickname - "Aunt Kansas". Cole loves for Candace to play with him & read him books. Way to go Bryan!!!! You found a wonderful woman to add to our family!

So as you can see we had a very busy weekend. Friday evening we went to eat & then came home to relax. We got up early Saturday morning to go to our zoo's "Eggstravaganza" egg hunt. The kids had lots of fun "hunting" for eggs and they each got a goody bag for turning in the eggs they found. A trip to the zoo would not be complete without a ride on the carousel. Savannah is not so excited about riding on the animals. She enjoyed the ride from the safety of Gram Gram's lap while Cole had a roaring ride on the lion with Papa G by his side. We made our way to see the farm animals after the carousel ride and Cole participated in his first spoon race. I was so proud because he didn't drop his egg and he finished the race even though he didn't win! Savannah fell asleep with her sweet tart sucker in her mouth on the way to lunch which was definitely a Kodak moment. After lunch Matt, Bryan, & Candace went to the hockey game and I went to the grocery store while Cole napped and Papa, Gram Gram, & Savannah played. As you can see the playing ended with Gram Gram & Savannah falling sound asleep. Alaina, Phillip, & Ellen joined us for a cookout dinner & then we dyed Easter eggs before it was time to go to sleep so the Easter Bunny could come for a visit.

The Easter Bunny brought sunglasses and some other non sugary treats for Cole & Savannah. The kids got all dressed up in their beautiful matching Easter outfits - and they wouldn't stand still & smile to take a picture for anything. What you see above is the best we got! It was a wonderful weekend. Thanks for coming to visit Papa G, Gram Gram, & Aunt Candace!!!!
