Happy Easter!

This was such an event-filled Easter weekend! My brother, Frank, and his family came down for the weekend, which meant that every possible minute was spent in some family activity, so that all us siblings and our kids could get together.

On Thursday morning, we all went to my sister Helena's house for a major playdate-15 cousins in total! Here are some photos:






The kids had so much fun! It was a beautiful spring day, not too hot, not too cold (not that it ever really gets that cold!) so everyone spent the morning outdoors, playing in the playground or on the terrace. It was a perfect way to celebrate the start of Spring Break!

On Saturday, we dyed some Easter Eggs at Becca and Richard's house. The men, of course, upon arrival began to play some weird combination of football, soccer and frisbee. The whole point was to be on your toes and catch whatever was being thrown at you without getting hit. It's definitely a guy thing.




While the guys were doing their thing, the kids were playing in the backyard (some narrowly escaping disaster by walking into the guys' game) until it was time for pizza. After the pizza, of course, it was time for the egg dyeing. The kids had such a great time, making a huge mess, of course. I'll post some photos of the egg-dyeing tomorrow. Right now, I'm going to bed!
