Hoppy Easter!

This year we spent Easter weekend at my parent's house in the desert! It was a very relaxing all around. Steve and my dad played two rounds of golf and my mom, the girls and I spent both days at the pool. Friday was also my dad's birthday (68 years kickin') so we got to celebrate that too! We arrived before 11 am on Friday so we had the whole day to play! After everyone got home and showered, we had our "Easter/birthday" dinner at the clubhouse. My mom and dad loved introducing the girls to their buddies.

While we waited for Steve to finish up getting ready, we snapped some pictures...
Charlie insisted on getting her "stuffty" in some of the pictures.

After dinner, Charlie crawled right into the master bedroom bed because well... this is just what she is used to! LOL... so spoiled that girl!

But daddy was having none of that for sure! He was too tired to give up his spot! "Here come the sleeping bags girls!" (Steve and Grandpa had to blow them up the old fashioned way because we forgot the pump!)

After we got the bed situation all taken care of so Steve could get some much needed sleep, the rest of us celebrated Grandpa's birthday with some presents...

Both days we spent some quality time at the pool! There were tons of kids that the girls could become friends with while we were there!

And both days, a good long nap followed the fun at the pool! Awww... a little rest for the grown ups.

Sunday morning rolled around too soon... We wondered if the Easter Bunny would find us in the desert. The girls were confident that he would until Daddy talked them out of their confidence... meany daddy!

But sure enough... the Easter Bunny found them!

They got bunny ears and an Easter basket to collect eggs in!

The got BIG baskets with lots of spring necessities (that smart bunny). Charlie commented that the Easter Bunny left too many clothes and not enough "fun stuff" (that darn Easter Bunny).

Finally, the girls noticed that there were some eggs outside to find!!!

Nothing like an Easter Egg Hunt in your jammies!

The tradition of the "Golden Egg" followed us from Aunt Ginny's house to the desert! The girls were thrilled when they found their golden eggs.

Grown ups LOVE to be photographed first thing in the morning with their jammies on, right?

At least there was coffee all ready to go with this early morning! Easter Bunny Grandpa had to put the eggs out before the sun came out because the girls were already up! Oops, sorry Grandpa!

Finding chocolate bunnies were a hit too!

Seriously, how fun is it to run on a golf course at 6:00 a.m.? How cute are these two?

Thanks for hosting us Nonna and Grandpa! We had a great time!
