Easter

We had a nice Easter weekend filled with thankfulness, family, Easter egg hunts (four to be exact), and fun! This picture was taken on Easter morning. I think that each one of our kids had eaten one pound of sugar by 10am so you can imagine how hard it was to get them to sit still. Grandma Pagonis handmade Jenna and Marissa's Easter dresses. I just love them!

This picture makes Tom think of the Verizon commercial.
"How many bars do YOU have?"

We always look forward to decorating Easter eggs...it's a big deal in our house and everyone participates. I've been making Tommy dye eggs since we met...and he loves it, right honey?
We did camouflage eggs this year!

This Easter was a special one for us because we hosted it at our house for the first time! The kids were really happy to celebrate the holiday at home. There was a ton of food and everyone seemed to have a great time. Thank you to my family for helping me pull it off! After dinner we had a little egg hunt in our backyard. Each child had their own color egg to find. We're still finding cousin Anna's pink eggs in our yard! This picture of Nicholas sums up the whole day for him...he was constantly holding up a piece of candy asking if he could eat it...all day....it never stopped...he must have consumed his body weight in sugar that day.

Another highlight of the day....my sister, Melissa, and Rick announced their engagement! We are all VERY happy to hear this much anticipated news and we welcome Rick to our family. The wedding will be on October 4 (my parent's anniversary). I'm looking forward to a beautiful wedding and am having fun planning this very special day with my sister.

Congrats Rick and Lis!

We hope you all had a nice Easter!
