Easter





































We woke up Easter morning to find that the "Bunny" had filled our baskets and hid eggs around the house. The kids had so much fun finding them. Then we had another egg hunt at Nana's house with a yummy french toast breakfast. At Steve's parents house we had another egg hunt, Katie had her own pink eggs that were peanut free (thanks grandma and grandpa). After we emptied out all of the eggs, it was time for the annual egg fight. Steve and his brother Scott pelted the kids with eggs as they ran around the yard laughing and screaming. It was a lot of fun.

Las Vegas











playing Whack-a-Mole










Harley Davidson Cafe
























































Rain Forest Cafe


























On Sunday we flew down to Las Vegas with my mom and Emily for a couple of days, just us girls. We had so much fun, I can't believe how well behaved my kids are! They loved the airplane, especially because they had control of their own tv shows (JetBlue rocks!) Then when we got down there we went to the Rain Forest Cafe at the MGM. Katie was a little scared of the thunder storm, all the lights would flash, it was cool. Then we swam the whole rest of the day... yes it was 80 degrees !! All three of my kids fell asleep on the lounge chairs by the pool, it's exhausting to have so much fun in one day. That night I shared a bed with Katie... bad idea!! This was the first time I've ever shared a bed with her.. and the last. She is all over the place!!! So about midnight I went and squeezed into bed with Anna, she doesn't roll around much yet. Monday we went walking on the Strip and of course went to the MnM factory, where you can spend way too much on different colored MnM's. We also spent a lot of time in the arcade of the Excalibur, where you can spend way too much money on games for silly prizes, but the kids had a blast counting their tickets and redeeming them for stuff. We spent a little time at the outlet mall, not just any outlet mall, this mall had a True Religeon store where I found some jeans called "Becky", oh how I want them, they are so cute (too bad I'm poor). On Tuesday we saw the lion at the MGM. It was so cool, it came right up to the glass in front of us. The girls were so excited that it licked the glass right in front of them. Then we swam some more and caught the plane home. It was exhausting but so much fun! I have the best mom ever to do that for us.
