Sister Weekend

I got to spend the weekend with my sisters in March & it was so much fun!!

We went shopping for Easter clothes for the kids.

We ate lots of ice cream.

We played with the kids.

We held Carlie lots.

We talked a lot & slept a little!

I love spending time with my sisters!!!

Easter Egg Hunt

We had our Easter egg hunt the Saturday before Easter & because it snowed on Friday we had to have the hunt indoors.

Desiree & Giovanni were visiting that weekend, so we had cousins to hunt for eggs with us.

So much fun!!

The kids with all their sweets.
