Easter 2009

What a fun Easter weekend we all had! During the week Cailtyn had her 6 month check-up. She is the same height and weight that Amy was at that age (15lb 13oz and 26 1/4 in). Caitlyn of course was not impressed with the 4 vaccinations it involved but our little girl was brave and by the time we were back in the car she was doing OK. She was sleepy for most of the rest of the day. That afternoon Daddy, Amy and I decorated Easter eggs. We even got fancy using a white crayon to make patterns on the eggs then of course we had to finish the masterpieces with some Sesame Street stickers.

Saturday was our usual morning at Little Gym. Daddy had a game of golf so it was just the girls Saturday morning, so after Little Gym we went to the shops of course and we stopped for a drink and cookie at Starbucks! Easter Sunday it looked like it was going to be a miserable day with wind and rain, but it cleared up in the morning and the afternoon was perfect weather in the 80's. When Amy got up in the morning we all headed downstairs to see what the Easter Bunny had left us. Despite my better judgement Amy did get to have chocolate for breakfast :-) We all headed out to Blake's house for lunch and an Easter Egg hunt. Ashely and Chris have a beautiful home out toward Lake Medina and had prepared a really nice lunch. There were two other kids there and some of their neighbours. After lunch the kids grabbed their Easter baskets and started the hunt for the 50 odd eggs hidden throughout the front yard. The kids loved it - especially when they realized there were toys and chocolates hidden inside the eggs. The kids had some more play time and then it was time to head home for a nap. But once we got home Daddy "watched" the Masters while the girls and I kept playing upstairs. Our neighbours Mandy and Dave visited after dinner with more Easter presents for the girls. Amy got a cute little teddy bear with Jelly Beans and Caitlyn got a cute little snow globe with a bunny inside. All in all it was a fun weekend but I think it wore everyone out :-)
