A Hoppity Happening Weekend : )

It's Monday, and thank goodness I do not have work today....yay for Easter Sunday and Monday! :) 

We had a wonderful weekend full of good food, even better candy, family and of course fun. Myself, Big Man, my sister M, and my BIL Dang went out for double date night on Friday that I'll recap later this week but the big draw this weekend was celebrating Easter! 

This was my first Easter home in 5 years and I couldn't wait to celebrate with my family especially since I got to make Easter baskets for my niece and nephew...
Aren't they cute!?! : ) 

This is my nieces basket...
She's my little bean and I loved outfitting her basket with all things girly. Since she's only 2.5 months old we had to keep it pretty basic with the baby items. She got some pretty headbands, pink onsies, Johnson's travel bath pack, an Easter ducky and my most favorite of all "This is my Little Black Dress" onsie. She is going to look too cute in it. I also filled the eggs with candy for Em's mommy and daddy. 

This is my nephew's basket...
G is my little crazy boy and is def. a boy's boy through and through. For his basket I knew I would go for toys and candy, every four year old's favorite. He is a lover of bubbles so I got him a bubble sword and since nice weather and summer are right around the corner he needed a water blaster, much to his mother's disappointment : ) I also threw in some noise makers and candy fills all the Easter eggs.

When we woke up, ok when I woke up because Big Man wakes up at the crack of dawn everyday we headed over to my BIL Dang's moms house so Mia could participate in my sister's annual Doggy Easter Egg Hunt...
Yes, you  heard that right....a doggy Easter Egg Hunt. She gets those little plastic eggs, fills them with treats and then hides them in the yard for the dogs to find. This was Mia's first year participating and I think she was a little confused ( see above)...I would open the egg for her and she would run up on the patio with her treat, eat it, and then look at me. She didn't know what was going on but she was game as long as she was getting treats.

Here's my sister M and me enjoying the warm but weird weather we were having today...seriously one minute it's hot, humid and sunny and the next minute it's raining...
And here's our sleepy girl on the ride down to my dad's house...

We spent the rest of our Easter down at my mom and dads house and were able to spend time with my parent's, Nan, sister T, and nephew G...
M, Nan, Me

It was such a good day and I am glad that I was able to spend it with it with my family. The only thing missing was Big Man's mama and sisters....I miss them terribly and can't wait to see them at the wedding. 

I'll leave you with this gem....
How freaking sweet is this.....my heart melts into a big pile of mush! : ) 
Hope everyone had a fabulous Easter! : )

Seriously, a doggy Easter egg hunt is such a great idea! We did Christmas presents for the boys last year and they LOVED it, totally going to do an Easter egg hunt at our family Easter next week! (we're a week behind this year since I was traveling for work :-P)
