Easter 2013 was wonderful! (as always) I do have to say, it was a little hectic getting everything ready for our company since we returned from vacation the Wednesday night before Easter Sunday. My parents were arriving Thursday evening and Luke's mom and step dad were planning to be here late Friday afternoon. So, bring on a VERY productive Thursday morning and nap time and we were READY!
My dad and I started our Easter weekend off with a Good Friday workout! It was great to get "back on schedule" and prepare for a weekend of eating yummy food by burning a few extra calories. (although, we probably walked enough in DC to cover the entire weekend!)
I have to admit, I can't really remember everything we did Friday, but I do know we were able to relax and enjoy each others company while Jameson played with his toys! (he was SO happy to be home and sleeping in his bed).
Saturday was actually a pretty nice day. We spent the majority of the late morning walking around the Sioux Falls Zoo. Jameson was so happy to be outside running around, while all four Grandparents were in heaven chasing after him :-) (This preggos mommy was even more happy to have others able and willing to run and run some more to keep up J - my body was pretty exhausted after all the walking we did in DC) I also have to quickly say, my dad and Mark spent a lot of Saturday morning and nap time painting Jameson's new sports bedroom! THEY DID AN AWESOME JOB! Thank you SO Much for all your hard work :-)
Here is a "sneak peek" of J's "big boy bedroom"
I will post more pictures once it is 100% complete
That evening we played our Second Annual Trivia Game! Like last year (I promise I will not go into all the details again like I did in my 2012 post) I put together a little trivia game for all of us to play and of course, there were prizes involved :-) Jean was our BIG winner this year of the TARGET gift card while everyone else received candy and some other goodies to snack on. Until next year my dear family ;-)
Sunday morning we woke up to some Easter bunny surprises! Jameson is still not all that interested in presents, so we didn't do an organized Easter egg hunt, but I did have eggs waiting for him in the living room (he was quick to start throwing them throughout the house... that's for sure!) and his basket was ready and waiting for him to notice. (I think I was much more excited than he was!) We also decorated some hard boiled eggs for a little late morning entertainment! We ended our Easter celebration with a delicious lunch! I just LOVE having family in town!!! Mark and Jean had to take off shortly after lunch, so we said our goodbyes, Jameson took a nap and the rest of us went into a food coma for a few hours. My parents were staying until Monday morning, so we just spent the rest of our time together relaxing and enjoying the company.
Checking out the goodies the Easter bunny brought!
Ooooo Eggs... these are SO fun to throw!
