Last weekend it snowed. But Jude had been really wanting to roast marshmallows again so just before the snow came we got out our little fire pit and did some roasting. Jude wanted to use his wooden reindeer we bought at Christmas for the fuel and it burned quite well. By the time we were done the snow came down.

It was also my birthday last weekend. As we have done the last couple of years I have foregone cake for pie, by far my favorite dessert. So, Marcy puts a candle in my pie and everyone sings happy birthday. This time we had apple pie and ice cream at 10:30am – who needs to wait until lunch.

Both kids said today that Easter is their favorite holiday. That may be true but every holiday we get to these days they say is their favorite. But they did have a good time with Easter that is for sure. It started with coloring of Easter Eggs yesterday.

Then this morning when they woke up it was time to go hunting for Easter eggs. The Easter Bunny had left them all over the house as well as outside in the backyard and the race was on. Jude sprinted around the yard gathering as many eggs as his basket could hold.

Inside the eggs was either chocolate or money. They had quite the stash by the time it all ended. And it didn’t end at home. We also went over to the annual Easter gathering at the Briere household where more eggs were hunted down. Here is a cute photo of both kids with their Easter baskets as they were getting ready to go.
