So Many Cousins {Happy Easter}

By -

Easter Sunday was a big event, as usual. The girls woke up with gifts from the Easter bunny, including Golden Knight shields and swords, LOL Dolls, and cute new swim suits.




Of course we had to open the toys right away and see which LOL Dolls the bunny brought.



Perry liked her chocolate bunny the best.


After we all got ready to head out of the house for the day, the girls spotted some eggs in the back yard. We had a quick egg hunt before we had to leave.









Our first stop of the day was Grammy and Papa Rick's. We hung out for a while before enjoying a yummy lunch with ham and all the sides. Then we had another egg hunt with all the cousins. The girls got super cute outfits, swim suits, and all kinds of fun goodies in their baskets.











That afternoon, we headed to Grandpa and Grandma Espejo's where the kids got to hunt for even more eggs. They got more baskets with more clothes and goodies and had fun playing with more cousins.











We celebrated Easter with Poppa and Gran and Grandma Sunshine and Papa Craig in the days before, so we weren't so crazy running around on Easter Sunday. We got to spend the whole weekend with lots of family time, which always makes our hearts full. Even though it can be chaotic at times, we are so lucky to have so many grandparents so close to us. The girls get so much love, and we all enjoy spending time with each of them.

I love that the girls have so many cousins to play with, because I remember spending time with all of my cousins as a kid, and they were some of my favorite times. They just keep on coming, too. We'll be adding a few more the rest of this year, and we can't wait. Our family sure has been blessed.

Happy Easter!

He is risen!

...Char was sleeping so peacefully Monday morning that I didn't want to wake her up. ...she made me a pretty picture at school with chalk. ...she continued her obsession with the easel and colored (and watched Toy Story ) while waiting for Daddy to get home from work. Hooray for panties! ...it got cold and windy again, but we played outside anyways. Isaac played catch with the neighbor boys, while JJ flew the kite and Char strutted her stuff. ...the girls danced around the living room. There is an iTunes Radio station called 'Frozen Radio' that the girls are crazy about. They play random Disney songs, and we listen to it all.the.time. (After watching this a few times, I realized that Char was trying to sing "friend in" as in "You've Got a Friend In Me".) ...Grace put Charley to bed by tickling her face. ...the girls got cake pops. Yep, for breakfast. ...we got to school a few minute

Picture of the Week: The Sleepiest Kid Ever When I pick Perry up in the afternoons, we have to wait for about twenty minutes before Grace and Char get back from school. I actually kind of love it, because it gives me a chance to hang in Perry's classroom when they are doing afternoon crafts. Monday, they made barns out of chocolate graham crackers and marshmallow fluff. Perry's favorite part was eating it, and she shared with her sisters in the car as we drove home. We made salads for dinner, and she kept begging Daddy for bites. He decided it was easier to just share the whole bowl with her. Perry is definitely our best eater of the bunch and loves pretty much everything you give her, including most veggies.   She was being super silly in the bath, so I gave her a mohawk to go with her sass. While I was combing her hair, she found the tweezers on the counter, and kept calling them "teezwers". It was adorable, so I had to get a video.

Mini Adult

I'm officially in birthday planning mode. Grace is going to be TWO in just a month. She's such a mini adult: I can't even believe she used to be as small as Charley! Grace is now sleeping in her own bed all night. She falls asleep with us, but once we move her to her own bed, she stays there all night long. She's also in panties full time. She still has accidents in the middle of the night once in a while, but it's easy to wash her sheet and the waterproof mattress pad. We're officially done with diapers with this one!! Grace has also learned to roll her eyes this month. It's hilarious when I tell her she's cute and she rolls her eyes at me. Such a diva! She tells us she's ready to "go to bet" around 7:30 every night and even around 1:00 every day when she wants to take her nap (I love pre-school for this one). Grace is totally obsessed with pouches. If you don't know what they are and you have kids
