Easter Weekend

Gah! So much time has gone by... yikes! There has been a lot going on with us - but we will get to that. I am going to power through a few posts, just so that I can get the pictures up that I want, and then I can catch you up to speed on what's been going on in our family!

So backing up to Easter Weekend (WOW that seems like a lifetime ago!). Q woke up on Saturday and we had an egg hunt all set up for her, because we were going to be busy on Sunday and I didn't want to skip this fun tradition. She wakes up, and comes running into our room yelling at us: "MOM! DAD! WAKE UP! Something crazy has happened!!" She was SO excited! We asked her what happened and she replies with "It's so crazy! There is candy EVERYWHERE! Mama, it is EVERYWHERE!" She was yelling and giddy, and it made us laugh. I love that she's the kid who comes to our room to tell us and wants to know whats going on before she touches anything. She is such a good kid.

We gave her a bowl and told her happy hunting! 

New Easter dress with her bunny! The chocolates were hidden in stashes all over the house. She was so adorable looking everywhere for them.

That afternoon we had a wedding to go to, and Crofton was doing an Easter Fun Day at the ball field, so my mom happily took Q down there to check it out. Having my mom here is amazing. I love that she babysits without question, and just jumps in and is so helpful. Not to mention fun! Her and Q always have SO MUCH fun together, because my mom is a ball of energy and is awesome like that.

They had crafts, bouncy castles, an Easter hunt, an Easter bunny chase (which apparently Quinny was pretty mad about - when she saw the "bunny" and said "Grandma! That's just a kid dressed up, I don't want to chase him!" haha! She is so literal, it makes me laugh all the time. My mom convinced her that it would be fun and she did indeed chase the bunny. Gotta love small towns!!!

Yay Kelly and Geoff! So happy for you!!

Just Jake's for food and some drinks with these people in between the ceremony and reception. Love them.

These two both said it was a super fun day together. They rode Q's new bike, went to the beach, and drew with chalk, all after the community fun day. So awesome. Also, isn't this picture gorgeous?! Wow, they are both so beautiful!

Easter Sunday was at the Lampards for the annual big easter hunt. We came down in time for church in the morning and went to the Lampards church. I missed being with our own community of people but we couldn't make it work time wise to go to our own. And Saanich does a really great Easter service, so it was nice. These three were hanging out in the sunshine together before it all started.

I really love how these two are often not very far away from each other. I really pray that they are best friends as they grow.

Finding chocolate and bubbles like a boss!

This is about as good as it gets for a picture with these two very silly girls haha

She just cannot sit still and not be silly haha

One of my favorite things about my mom is her love for Jon. She treats him like a son, and loves him so much. Their relationship is incredibly positive, and they really respect and care for the other. I'm thankful for that.

LOVE this! 

These two make my whole world light up. I love them so much.

Gah! That face! 

Lampards!

Siblings! Calea wanted it just the four of them, but Jon and Luke said no way it had to be all six of us. I love the boys for their thoughtfulness and love for their wives! And the six of us are pretty cute :)

And the day ended in cuddles on the couch reading stories before it was time to go home. A lovely Easter!
