Happy Easter

Our first Easter in Colorado and Fiona's very first Easter as well went splendidly. We had a really nice Easter this year, even though we missed the usual Maes crowd we did have some family time with Erick and the Valania's. The weather was perfect and although Logan was hyped up on sugar most of the day, we had a nice relaxing Easter Day.

Our adorable kidlets!

We went to church early and even got a seat ;). Logan's max staying power is 1 hour so he started to drive us bonkers towards the end meanwhile Fiona slept through it all. After church we came home to find that the Easter bunny had come with baskets of goodies and his eggs for Logan. He enjoyed his Star Wars lego from his basket and had fun hunting eggs and eating many many m&ms. Meanwhile Fiona slept through it all (again).

We left for Boulder and an Easter buffet with Erick and the Valania's.  It was nice to spend some holiday time together and even though the buffet wasn't anything special Logan enjoyed some chocolate cake which of course made him bounce off the walls and chase down the guy in the Easter bunny costume, sorry dude. Meanwhile, Fiona slept through it all (are you sensing a pattern here haha. She slept through allllll our Easter activities on her first Easter!). After lunch we went back home and had Logan play at the park to run off some of that crazy energy before nap time. Dare I say that the 72 degrees it was outside felt warm verging on "hot" with no breeze. My how quickly a Colorado winter and four seasons will change your perspective on "hot" and "cold"!  

By some lovely miracle Logan took a nap and (another miracle) Fiona woke up. So Dom and I took turns taking an afternoon run around the neighborhood and playing with Fiona while Logan slept. The run felt hot but the weather was still beautiful so once Logan woke up we rode bikes/walked with Fiona to the Black Dog Coffee shop. We spent some time relaxing there while it sprinkled a little rain outside then walked/rode back home in "colder" weather (but still great!). By the time we got home it was time for Logan's dinner and bath and bedtime for both kiddos. Dom and I finished the day off perfectly...with a homemade pizookie!  I had given up sweets for lent and Dom gave up his two favorite things, ice cream and beer.  So a pizookie was a good way to end Easter Day! 

(Ok ok after that Dom went to Jeff's and watched basketball and drank beer while I stayed home with the sleeping kids and watched Netflix, still a good ending to a great day!)
