Our Easter Weekend looked a lot like this....blowing snow and sleet. Luckily, the snow didn't stick to the ground, but it was cold and wet. Friday, April 6th marked the beginning of Spring Breal (felt more like winter break).
Dianne & my brother drove in from Chicago on Friday the 6th (early) & got to my house about 10am. Kiersten was not ready for a playmate quite yet & is trying to stay from Dianne.

"Stop following me!" Poor Dianne just wanted to play with her big cousin. We got that super cute table w/2 chairs from Ikea for $20!!
Eventually, we got them this close, but it didn't last long. As you can Kiersten's not too happy.
Dianne is patiently waiting for George to wake up. She didn't understand what 'nocturnal' meant. George isn't the most accomodating during the day.
Saturday morning, we headed to Chuck E. Cheese. It was the kids' first time ever and they had a lot of fun. They played for over an hour or so and then it was time to go home & eat lunch! Unfortunetly, we had a lot of family that couldn't make it due to scheduling issues, but both of my brothers came and nice and nephew & a few of our friends. After lunch (we had lunch meats, salads etc...), both girls took a much needed nap. Then I attempted to try & fix their hair and get the boys dressed for pictures. We dressed the girls at the studio since it was so cold & wet outside.
After pictures and dinner, we finally had dessert. Since the kids shared their parties, they also shared a cake. It worked out well since we had such a small party this year. The cake was really good!
Presents!!! The kids got a lot of stuff, including 3 easter baskets each from family and friends. We tried to pick out educational and useful toys since the kids just had a large toy filled Christmas. We received quite a bit of birthday money which I put towards their spring/summer shopping. Thanks to everyone who came, sent gifts and cards!
