that's very eastery of you.

easter weekend was a busy one for us. we hadn't had that much action in a long time. but it felt good because it wasn't scary hospitals & needles & unpredictable outcomes! it was filled with family & friends & lots of easter goodies. friday was spent at my parents house w/ great grandma, aunt britt, uncle tate & great aunt jan who was visiting from napa valley. the next morning, we had a "boozy brunch" w/ close friends & their babes! kiddo chaos, good food, mimosas & bloody marys to boot! a tradition we decided to carry out as it's so hard to get together like we used to...way WAY back in the day ;) then we were off to visit w/ some michael's side of the family for a bit & to judge an intense chocolate chip cookie contest. spectacular arrival timing on our part if i do say so myself! after the winner was crowned & we all went into sugar overdose, we were back to holstein for the hanson side celebration. we enjoyed more great food, wine & lots of laughs with the cousins. where are all the photos you ask? i was a giant LAMO & didn't get my camera out until sunday, when we were back with the schweitzberger/spooner crew! sorry! i did capture some priceless cousin photos of the kids, however. it reminds me of a photo that my cousins & i have when were about the same age. try to get 5 kids 5 years & younger to all hold still...i love the random pureness of this!
