A Very Happy Easter 2013

What an unexpected and truly awesome weekend we had! It all started Thursday night when we had a play date with one of AJ's best buddies, Kelan. His mom picked up Kelan and AJ from school and I met them at Kelan house for a play date. We had pizza and the kids played while Kelans mom and I "helped the Easter Bunny" prepare for Easter. We haven't ever had a play date together, but have talked about it for months. I was so glad to get to know Juliana and her husband Jan more and the boys had a blast, of course. While we were there, I told Juliana that AJ told me how sad he was a few days before because he hadn't seen the Easter Bunny. How would the bunny know that AJ wanted a Batmobile! (apparently Easter is now Christmas?) So we talked and the only day it would work to see the Easter Bunny was the next day, Friday. Once again, Juliana was kind enough to get AJ from school and brought both boys to the mall and I met them there. They saw the bunny (but were more excited by the pet store and Disney store). After an hour or so, we all had dinner at California Pizza Kitchen. Juliana and I had good conversation and wine. The boys colored, ate and play iPhone. We were all happy!

 On Saturday, Juliana (who is well known for throwing amazing parties!) had this REALLY fun Easter party. She had a great egg hunt and then the kids (all 20 of them) played for hours and had a blast. Each child was sent home with a monogrammed bucket FULL of candy and toys. It was a hit! I had a great time talking with other moms about Kindergarten and such.. Boy how my life has changed! hahah
Pre Party Fun!

AJ, Tyson and Madelyn

All the kids listening to instructions for the egg hunt

My love...

These two are SO cute now.. But they will be trouble later.. Trust me!

That night we went back to Jason's for another little neighborhood BBQ. But before everyone got there we did some egg dying. Super fun! (and low stress and low clean up) Doesn't matter than out of 18 eggs we only ended up with 11 to hide right? :)
 
 
 
Good Easter Morning Ya'll!
 

 
Look what he found!
 
After AJ found all the eggs the Easter Bunny hid for him, we played a game of hide and seek. We took turns hiding and finding the eggs. When it was his turn to hide them, this is what happened. I couldn't help but totally crack up!
 
 After our Easter morning, we got washed up, and AJ and I went to church. After, Jason picked us up and we headed to this awesome park called Elk Ridge Park in Castle Pines. It was amazing! OH and the ENTIRE weekend it was beautiful, and warm and I even got a little sunburn. SWEET!



 
On Saturday night, I got a text from a good friend Lisa asking what we were doing for Easter. We didn't have plans. She asked if Jason, AJ and I wanted to join them for dinner. John, her husband was celebrating his 40th birthday AND cooking this amazing feast. We couldn't pass it up! Lisa and I often have "wine play dates" where the kids play and we eat pizza and have a glass of wine. Her husband travels A LOT and so she's home most evenings. John and Jason have met, but really don't know each other. Anyway, we went and had a blast! The kids play so well together and the guys had a great time getting to know each other. It seemed so easy and so comfortable. Plus, the food was out of control good. (Who knew AJ liked pickled beets?!) SUCH a wonderful time!

These two are also double trouble!
 
Right about now, John is saying "get your hands off my daughter!"


 
Happy Easter!!!!!!!!!!!!
