Easter

We had a GREAT Easter weekend. Chris had the Friday and the Monday off and was able to get his school work done ahead of time and spend time with us. It felt like a much needed holiday.

We started it by picking up our brand new car Thursday afternoon. A 2012 VW Passat. This will be for Chris to drive to work. We love it and got a great deal on it!

Friday we went to the Telus World of Science in the morning. After lunch and a quick break at home we went to Uncle Steve's to celebrate Clark's first birthday. Macy was so excited to go to Clark's and sing Happy Birthday to him. She practiced a ton! 

Saturday Macy went to her grandparent's in Beaumont while Chris and I went to the Star Wars Identities Exhibit at the museum (pictures and post to follow). Then Saturday night our friends Daley and Desiree came over for dinner, games, and to paint eggs.

 The good ones were done by Daley and Desiree...not much artistic talent in our family.

 A while since we've actually got a family picture.

Sunday morning the Easter bunny cam and brought our family a little bit of candy (we did very little candy this year, and I liked it!) and hid some eggs. Macy LOVED finding them. At one point after I helped her find some she turned to me, gave me the thumbs up sign and said 'Great job mommy!'

We went to church and then to Beaumont for Easter dinner with the grandparents. No one was up visiting and Steve was out of town, so it was just us and them. But it was very nice and relaxing. We had roast beef, with mashed potatoes, gravy, salad, and fresh buns. Delish.

Monday we went swimming at Millennium Place. Now that Macy fits her puddle jumper, swimming is great. We have so much more freedom and Macy loves swimming on her own. After swimming we checked out Cobs Bread Bakery. We will definitely be making that a tradition. We had baked ham and cheese croissants, and then an apple pastry ring with caramel drizzle. Everything was so fresh and good.

That was our weekend. It was fun. Now Chris is back to finishing up school and we hardly see him...18 days!
