Charlie and Seda: Easter

For Easter this year Pete's parents, Mark, Kelly, and Drew all came to Marquette for the weekend. It was a dual occasion . . . celebrate Easter and have a bunch of people to do house projects! Mark, Kelly and Drew came on Friday morning, so we had the whole day for the boys to play outside together. Pete's parents came later in the afternoon, so when Pete got home from work we played more outside and then ordered some pizza for dinner. We ended up celebrating Easter on Saturday morning because Mark, Kelly, and Drew were leaving Saturday night. Charlie LOVED everything about the Easter Bunny coming! We left him some carrots, and Charlie told me that he would want a Coke to drink, so I think we started a new Easter tradition! When he woke up in the morning, he noticed the trail off eggs leading from his door right away. He grabbed his basket, ate the first egg, then proceeded to collect the rest of the trail in his basket. He was very excited to find his big Easter basket, and I think we've created a monster when it comes to peanut butter filled chocolate eggs! While the boys were napping, we hid a bunch of eggs around the house (we woke up with 3 inches of snow on the ground, so there was no egg hunt outside). Charlie loved gathering all the eggs too! I was so happy to see he enjoyed it so much. Holidays are just going to get more and more fun with him!

The rest of the day consisted of house projects, playing indoors, and having a yummy Easter dinner. The boys were very productive with everything they did: porch railings, installed baby gate, put up gutters, put together IKEA furniture, cleaned/organized the garage, finished painting the kitchen and dining room, and some other little things. It was a great Easter weekend with the family, and a big thanks to everyone for all of their help around the house! It's starting to finally feel like we are getting settled!!
