Easter Weekend

Camera Roll-1005


Friday the kids had school off so I spent the day with all three of them - solo. I managed to take them to my office for a visit followed by a trip to the playground. Sure, I forgot my wallet and Eliza didn't have shoes, but I'm still calling it a success!

Saturday we dyed eggs in the backyard. Eliza dropped an egg into each of the dye baths in about 8 seconds and called it a day. Addie, not surprisingly, took her time with each egg even developing her own technique of spooning the color onto her egg. After that we walked down the street to a friend's house (what a luxury in car-centric LA!) for lunch and an egg hunt. 

Sunday Addie woke us up with a news flash on the jelly bean path that the Easter Bunny left from her room to the Easter baskets in front of the fireplace. The girls gobbled up as much chocolate and jelly beans as they could before breakfast. Then our lovely friends Chris and Rikke came over for brunch and an egg hunt (good thing the girls got practice the day before). We spent the entire afternoon in our backyard eating quiche, drinking mimosas and watching the girls go crazy in the bounce house and the kiddy pool. We had a confetti egg fight which somehow ended up in a water fight with both kids and grown-ups drenched! 

Best Easter!

Wonderful. Sounds great. FUN! FUN!I'm changing my name for Eliza from the Human Tornado to the Whirling Dervish! or as Nanci says "The Mischevious Angel"

Alpha Epsilon Chi - the most exclusive Greek society, open only to three members. Love the eggs in Greek blue too. Great to see the dresses. Addie's reminds me of Audrey Hepburn in a 50's movie, but with Addie's special Hello Kitty fashion touch. Eliza has lots of twirl in hers. Love the confetti eggs - I remember how much fun you three had with them!
