Easter Sunday was wonderful. I invited my sisters, their children and some friends along with their kids over for an Easter egg hunt. There were nine adults and ten children and if you saw the size of my house you would be amazed that we all fit somewhat comfortably in it. I made cupcakes and appetizers which were devoured in no time. I hid 70 some eggs around the park near my house and the kids went nuts! I wish I took pictures of them while they were hunting but things were just so chaotic that I didn't think about it. I also wish I had some good photos of me and my little one but I looked terrible in every single one. I am happy I got some good shots of my best friend and her family though. She has two beautiful children and is expecting a baby boy in late July. She has such a beautiful family and I'm so happy for her!
Speaking of friends, my dinner date went surprisingly well. She showed up so that was a start. I really thought things would be awkward but it wasn't. When I first saw her I found myself overwhelmed with emotion. I almost teared up but thankfully I held back. We talked a lot and laughed and it was almost like the good ol' days. The best part though was showing off my adorable baby. I really do hope we see each other again and I'm glad I gave her another chance.
I had another great weekend. Even though Natalie obviously couldn't participate in the festivities she had a good time being passed from person to person. I really enjoyed hosting friends over and absolutely loved seeing the joy on the kid's faces. It's all about the simple pleasures in life.

Wow, you hid a lot of eggs! I bet it was so fun to watch all the little kids go crazy looking for eggs. I'm glad your dinner went well. It is fun showing off your kids, isn't it? :)

Seriously, do they do bigger sizes in Natalie's dress? I loooove it!

Good to hear you got on well with your friend, hope you have the chance to see each other again sometime:)
Holy crap - I'm beyond impressed you hosted an Easter event with that many kids. I have very little patience to begin with and even find Taylor overwhelming at times. You kicked major mommy butt to do this.
Beautiful pictures too!
well these pictures just made my heart smile!
Wow you go all out! It sounds like it would be such a fun time. I can't wait until my own child is old enough to truly enjoy Easter. It was always my favorite growing up.
That sounds like such a fun day! Holidays with kids are just so much more amazing. Little Natalie looks like a doll as always!
Great pictures and that is a lot of eggs to hide! I am glad that the dinner went well with your friend. :)
Hosting a holiday dinner is quite an undertaking! Glad it went well and meeting up with your friend.
