The family comes to Florida!

Our families came down to Florida to help us celebrate Tyler's birthday. My mom and dad came on Monday and we spent some time taking in all the Orlando is famous for. Tuesday they took Carson to the Animal Kingdom while I picked up Darlene, my mother in law, from the airport. On Wednesday we spent the day at the Magic Kingdom and had another fun filled day Thursday at Sea when Elisha join us! 

 Saturday was Tyler's second birthday and his birthday party. We did a train theme since he LOVES trains right now! We rented a trackless train to drive the kids around the neighborhood and we had several train themed stations! Here are a few pictures of the family over the weekend.

Easter

We had a wonderful Easter here at home. We dyed eggs on Friday, had an egg hunt and picnic at church on Saturday, and then went to church on Sunday to celebrate. Sunday afternoon was very low key. We came home, took naps, did our own little eggs hunt and had a nice family dinner. Over all is was a pretty fantastic weekend!!

Egg Hunts

We started our week with an Egg Hunt with friends from our playgroup. As you can see it was on the cooler side that day. I think the high was around 60 so it was in the 50's for the egg, which is pretty chilly for Florida, especially this time of year! 

Saturday was another Egg Hunt and Picnic at Church. Unlike earlier in the week, it was GORGEOUS!! A nice light breeze and I think it was a high around 80. The egg hunt was so organized! They several fields and they are split into age groups, 0-2. preschool 3-5. K-2,  grades 3-5. The boys had such a great time!! I was with Tyler (hence just pictures of Tyler  during the egg hunt).

PS... I made the boys shorts too! :)
