"santa and the easter bunny must be friends"

That was one of the first things Little Man said when he saw his Easter basket...all because it had bubble gum in it! You may think I'm crazy, for letting a 4 year old {almost 5} chew bubble gum, but you'd be amazed and the things I can convince him to do with gum! He was convinced the Easter Bunny talked to Santa because he had all of his favorite things in his basket...legos, dinosaur book, I Spy book, and a bathing suit. Miss Priss was elated when she found puffs and yogurt melts...I mean, what else is appropriate for a 14 month old? Besides, her favorite thing to do these days is eat!

Sunday morning started off as every other Sunday does...insanely hectic. I decided to wait to cook mac-n-cheese {my assigned dish for lunch with D's fam} until that morning, and as if that wasn't enough, made breakfast for the kids, too. Per the usual, we didn't head out until 8:54...mass begins at 9:00. Oh well, the point is that we made it, all four of us, in one piece. Of course I spent the majority of mass in the nursery with Miss Priss, but considering I went to church Thursday and Friday, I was fine with that. :)

After church we headed over to D's grandmother's for lunch and an Easter Egg hunt...and more Easter baskets.  We ate, played, laughed, and lounged in the sun. Later in the afternoon, we headed to my dad's for dinner, another egg hunt, and even MORE baskets {can we say spoiled?}. I love weekends that are jammed pack with family time. It isn't often that we are all in the same place at the same time.
