Our Trip Home for Mom's Birthday

For my Mom's 60th birthday there was a surprise party for her and went home for the big event! She had no idea we were going to home or that Kate, Paul and John were coming home from NC or anything! It was all a complete surprise and a lot of fun! Sadly Jason couldn't go with us, but the kids and I took lots of pictures to share with him and everyone else! Luckily we got to spend a week at home just spending time with everyone. It was wonderful to see John (my sister Kate and her husband Paul's little boy...who will be 2 in June and we met for the first time) and Elliot (my brother Tim and his wife Michele's little boy who was a year old in January we also met for the first time). Jason's parents and Grandparents drove out from Pittsburgh to spend a day with us. It was wonderful to see them! It was busy and crazy and absolutely wonderful!!

Easter 2007

We spent Easter morning enjoying the kids baskets and hunting for eggs :) Later that day we went to friends of ours for Easter dinner and took the traditional Bunny Cake. The girls enjoyed decorating it.

Dying Easter Eggs! We spent Saturday evening enjoying the annual dying of eggs. Jason and the kids also enjoyed using food coloring to create their own colors this year.
