Easter Weekend

We had a very busy, fun-filled weekend! My girlfriend, Diane, came to visit and stayed with us Thurs-Sunday. On Friday Noah had an Easter Egg Hunt that we all participated in. She is our photographer for the pics below. (One of his teacher's Ms. Penny is in the purple.) Noah got the concept pretty well of picking up the eggs and putting them in the basket.
He also got the concept of pulling eggs out of other kid's baskets and putting them in his! The little girl next to Noah is Lanie, who was actually helping him to gather eggs and put them in his basket. I see the male/female traits already working in action at this age. GIRLS = GIVE; BOYS = TAKE :-)

Diane, Dana and I left Noah at school while we enjoyed some shopping out the Allen Outlet mall for a few hours. We had to leave around 3 as Diane's sister (and Dana's best friend!) and her daughter came to visit as well! We all enjoyed trying out a new Mexican restaurant (and Margaritas!) for dinner.

It was a little sunny so Noah decided he needed his shades before dinner.
Saturday I went to the grocery store to prepare for Easter dinner and decided to pick up a few helium balloons for the kids. Best decision I ever made! Noah would not put the thing down and all he could say was "boon" "boon"! It was too cute! He stole Jaydon's balloon every change he got and carried both around. He ate with it, played with it and even tried to sleep with it. I had to pry it out of his hands once he fell asleep!
Saturday afternoon Mike attended a friend's craw fish boil while all of us girls and Noah went to the Dallas Arboretum. Noah loved all the animals and the activity. He especially loved the bamboo rails which he tried to eat at every chance. Here he is checking out the huge fish, manatees, turtles, etc. He was in awe!
You know how much Noah loves his aunts and uncles. We have recently taught Noah to give "kisses". We make the fish face and he opens his mouth, then closes it for a kiss. It's too cute! Here he is giving Aunt Dana a kiss!

Saturday started out rainy but then turned into a beautiful day. While I got dinner ready, Mike and the girls played with Noah outside.

We had an early start on Sunday with 7:30 am mass. Here Noah is eating his breakfast (with his balloon!) before getting dressed.

It wouldn't be Easter without a family photo! Of course, this is the best we could get. Noah did not want to cooperate!

We ended up having way too much food for Easter! Mike made a delicious brisket! We all got our fill and you can see that Noah also enjoyed his meal!



Needless to say we had a fabulous Easter, but we did miss having our families with us. We hope that everyone had a very Blessed Easter!
Love to all,
Corri, Mike and Noah
