Easter 2012

We spent Easter this year at Peter & Phyllis' house again and as usual, we had a great time seeing everyone and enjoyed some great hospitality.

Grandma Schwake bought the girls matching Easter dresses this year. It was a bit cool, but I got creative with their closets and added some leggings, a cardigan, and cropped jean jacket.

Grandpa Schwake sure has developed a soft spot for babies.

And we got to visit with this cutie too, my nephew Bowen.
Babies are just so cute when they see other babies.

This little guy is Sam. He is my cousin Nate and his wife Jen's son. So I'm not sure what that makes him to me. 2nd cousin? First cousin once removed? Anyway, it was cute to watch Sam and Meredith play together.

And this other little guy is Matthew, Nate and Jen's other son who will be 2 this summer.

This egg hunt tradition goes back as far as I can remember (thank you Phyllis!). My earliest memory was when I was in 2nd or 3rd grade back in 1985 I think. It was the year I got my first Cabbage Patch Kid and I distinctly remember carrying that doll around during the egg hunt.

And Uncle Chris (who was referred to by Sam as 'The Silly Guy' did not disappoint the littles.
